Halo and sun dogs.

Halos above the dome.







Multiple exposures of the sun. Each picture is half an hour apart.

Sunset, with Venus (left) and Jupiter.







First moon during the night.

Moon with Venus and Jupiter.

Illuminated power plant exhaust.


There are no real bright stars at the celestial South Pole, so an easy way to find it, is described in the picture above.
