I'm having a harder time these days tracking the satellites as they pass overhead. With one small movement I can lose a good signal. But I try to stay positive as I redirect the antenna to find the signal again.

It's one of those September days where the air is cool in the shade and hot in the sun. After a few days of struggling to get good signal, it was encouraging when I heard those very clear ticks and beeps. I did this capture in my backyard with just a short view of the sky.

The Canadian National Exhibition is on this weekend, an end of summer festival with rides, music, and an international air show including the Royal Air Forces Red Arrows, Canadian Forces Snowbirds and the United States Air Forces F-22 Raptor. I think some of the planes were practicing as I was capturing this pass, buzzing through the sky, flying low and close to the ground. Otherwise, a very typical summer day in Toronto, pretty warm, humid and little cloud coverage.

I was rushing to finish a paragraph of my dissertation so I could hop on my bike and get to my usual spot on time for the pass. I'm starting to get familiar with the speed in which the satellites move through the sky. Now when I'm pointing the antenna at the sky I hear no static, just clear ticks and beeps. The same curious stranger was at the park today - and wished me luck on my capture!

It's starting to warm up again after a few chilly days in Toronto. I biked to my usual spot in High Park and had a few extra minutes after setting up to read. As I was packing up, a stranger came up to me to ask what I was doing - this happens every time. They are fascinated after I explain the process and I've started sharing the website with everyone who is curious about it.

Went for an evening capture today. I was different and super fun! The park was very quiet, and only lit with street lamps. The air was chilly and the sky was clear, I could see some stars and the moon was huge.

It was a really sticky and humid morning in Toronto. My partner (Rory) and I cycled to High Park to capture two back to back satellites. I suspect I am getting disoriented halfway through my captures so we marked north and south with a tape measure so I could follow it without having to check my phone's compass. Fuelled on just coffee this morning, we enjoyed the sunshine in between satellite passes.

Went to a lookout today, the same spot I saw the eclipse a few months ago. Thought I could get a clearer image, I'm starting to think I am getting a bit disoriented with my directions, I'll have to think of some solutions. Big grey clouds were rolling as I was setting up, and an hour after the satellite passed, there was a thunder and lightning storm!

I biked up a few blocks from my home, up a steep hill to a park I had never been to before. Lot's of kids playing, and runners around the park. Grey skies, very humid!

I biked to the edge of Toronto, on Lake Ontario this evening. I am trying different city parks to see where might be the best place to capture. It's been fun to cycle around the city to scope out potential sites. The Toronto beaches aren't very accessible, I have to cross a large highway on a very narrow bridge. But the sunset over the bridge on my way back home was really beautiful. Clear skies for my on-the-lake capture, very humid, and I got a lot of questions from folks on their evening stroll.

The weather in Toronto was beautiful today, the air was a bit humid and there was no cloud coverage. The satellite passed exactly as the sun was setting, and the sky was turning pink and orange. This was my first capture in Toronto, so the image came out a bit noisy, but I as thrilled to see that I had captured the Great Lakes and Hudson's Bay! My goal is to capture The Canadian Arctic which begins at the North end of Hudson's Bay. This time of year, the sea ice has melted and we can see an ice free Hudson's Bay!
