My Perseid images featured on CBS news
Wow what a thrill: my Perseid images have been featured on yesterday’s evening news on CBS! The images are receiving a great media coverage: among others, I would like to thank Earthsky (one of my favourite web sites) for posting them on an article dedicated to the 2012 Perseid meteor shower: see here.

One of my images featured on a new video by NASA
NASA just presented a video illustrating the conjunction show that will take place before sunrise in the upcoming days. With my great surprise, the last image of the video (@2:21) is that I took last March with my kids contamplating a similar conjunction 🙂
Pied”moon”t Poster
Ho appena terminato un poster con immagini della Luna Piena “catturata” accanto a monumenti e paesaggi piemontesi che ho, di conseguenza, chiamato Pied”moon”t. I monumenti (e le relative “Lune”) inclusi nel mosaico sono (da sinistra in alto in senso orario): la Mole Antonelliana (w/ Strawberry Moon), la Sacra di San Michele (w/post-eclipse Cold Moon), Santa Maria del Monte church (w/ Not a Blue Moon), Santa Vittoria Castle (w/Beaver Moon), Basilica di San Giovanni Bosco (w/ Strawberry Moon), the Basilica of Superga by night (w/ Snow Moon), Basilica of Superga by day (w/ Old fashioned Blue Moon) e al centro la Wolf Moon sorge dietro una casa nelle Langhe .
Chi fosse interessato ad una stampa ad alta risoluzione del poster o di singole immagini mi contatti via mail: stefanoderosa66@gmail.com
