Atlantis 2010
by Mike Hankey, under Misc
I recently went on vacation to Atlantis in the Bahamas and took some astro photos while I was there.
The full moon in July was called the hay moon because farmers cut their hay in July around this time. I can confirm this happens in Lancaster as I’ve seen more cut hay fields in the last two weeks than I have all year. Here’s a picture of the Hay Moon rising over Atlantis.
I really wanted to catch a meteor photo over the ocean, so I setup my camera and tripod on the balcony and waited. I caught one within 15 minutes, my first night trying, but not a single one after.
Here’s the full picture:
Here’s a picture of the moon just over the main towers the last night I was there.

And the sun rise the morning I went home.
Good times…
