Zhumell 20x80mm SuperGiant Astronomy Binoculars

Zhumell 20x80mm SuperGiant Astronomy Binoculars. Most impressive, though, is the sheer size of the 20x80 SuperGiants. The 80mm objective lens diameter is huge. See comparison with Celestron 4SE telescope.

Brooklyn Sunset NYC

In March 2013, I went out to Brooklyn hoping to photograph Comet PANSTARRS (C/2011 L4). Urban skies and timing were not on my side, and the comet never became visible from my location. Instead, the evening delivered something else — a dramatic sunset over New York City.

These images capture the transition from daylight to night as seen from Brooklyn, New York City, with the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge silhouetted against vivid clouds and fading twilight. Even when astrophotography plans fail, the sky often offers a different reward.

Note: A few years later, from the same Brooklyn location, conditions were much better and I was finally able to photograph a comet. See Comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan–ATLAS) visible in NYC .
