Astronomy Communication in a Time of Confinement: #AstroatHome

During the confinement (in Spain from March to June 2020) the usual observations at the UCM (Universidad Complutense de Madrid) observatory (Observatorio UCM) was not possible. There were no public observations and was impossible to take pictures with the telescopes or teleobjetives. To solve this problem, I start to make observations from the window on me root at home. I go up with a scale install a small tripod my digital camera and start to take pictures of the more relevant ephemerides and share the images on internet in order a lot of people can enjoy from these events. These observations include: phases of the Moon at night and at day, the supermoon, timelapses, startrails and Moontrails, pass of the Moon close to Mars, Jupiter and Saturn, pass of Venus across the Pleiades, conjunction of Mars and Mercury, pass of the ISS and Starlink satellites, etc... and later when the confinement finish at the observatory but without public the penumbral Moon eclipse of June and comet C/2020 F3 (#NEOWISE). All the resulting images are available in several pictures’ galleries and on twitter accounts @DMontesG and @ObservaUCM and Instagram @dmontesg_fotos_astro with hashtags: #AstronomiaenCasa, #AstroatHome, and#AstronomiaContraElVirus, and part of @IAU_Outreach.Observatorio UCM, Observatorio de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid (UCM): https://webs.ucm.es/info/Astrof/obs_ucm/obs_ucm.htm
