I took this just before some clouds moved in, so I was unable to capture the full lunar eclipse. However, it was still fun to watch and capture! I took this photo with my Sony SLT a65V through my Celestron NexStar 8SE telescope.

Single image with iPhone 6 through Celestron NexStar 8SE telescope.

at 49.5% practically in the first quarter, our natural satellite can be seen again, in this HDR composition we can see in considerable detail the vast number of craters that stand out in the terminator, together with this the high saturation in the image allows us to discern the different mineralogy that populates the regolith on the lunar surface, it is worth mentioning that these colors are very subtle and only a photo with this technique can reveal them.

Bacon Buttie time at Newlands Corner again today followed by a quick walk along the North Downs Way to search out the Optohedron that I had come across looking into something else which led to searching this artwork out .

 

( Info from AONB Surery Hills web page) .

Will Nash is an artist with a fascination for geometry and patterns in nature. Examining the faceted structure of an insect’s eye, Will has developed a piece called the Optohedron. This arrangement of five identical cells creates a rising curved sequence, which if you were to continue adding cells, would create a sphere. This links to the mysterious Golden Ratio geometry which continues to fascinate artists and scientists today. The name Optohedron is derived from the ancient Greek: optikos, “of seeing” and herd “raised seat.”

 

“The Optohedron sculpture is inspired by the act of viewing, thinking about seeing as the fundamental interface between the person and the world. Whilst exploring this idea, I investigated optics, the science of light, which took me to an ancient instrument, the Kaleidoscope.”

Will Nash

 

A Kaleidoscope consists of 3 or more reflective surfaces arranged to create a tapering tube, the viewer can look through the tube from either end to see objects and views repeated as a regular symmetrical pattern. Due to repeated reflection and the angle of the reflective surfaces the view from the larger end creates the illusion of a jewel-like spherical object inside the tube.

 

The Optohedron is constructed from weathering steel with a protective layer of rust on its surface. Between the logs are small gaps for creatures to inhabit. The individual cells are packed with locally sourced hazel logs to create a solid surface. Concealed within the packed timber are the kaleidoscopes, each one orientated to view a different element of the surrounding nature.

 

The Optohedron is part of the Inspiring Views programme that reveals lost views, engages those who do not normally access the countryside and includes a conservation project. Chalk scrapes have been created in front of the Optohedron and planted with Horseshoe Vetch to attract rare native butterflies including the Small Blue.

Plan your visit

 

The Optohedron can be found on the North Downs Way near to Newlands Corner in Surrey. Nearest Car Park is on Drove Road, Albury, Guildford GU4 8SE. From here, carefully cross Shere Road, the A25 to walk along the North Downs Way. The artwork is on your right after an approximately 5 minute walk.

This is a frame taken from my timelapse assembly. With the sun still setting on the London Eye from a lively hilltop in southeast London on what was forecast to be a beautifully clear and warm evening (goldilocks temperature of 26 degrees, a stark contrast to previous day's cooking 35deg heatwave), I invited my astronomy friends to join me, and we were treated to this sunset as predicted by my python program i wrote. It was a fun evening vibe, complete with beers (which was considered as the highest priority by some).

Atmospheric seeing was very bad on this night and my USB 3 connection to my ZWO ASI 174 MC camera wasnt working at full speed for some reason so this is about 2000 frames stacked in AutoStakkert!3 with the best 30% chosen.

I was planning this shot as a timelapse, but I didn't know that BT Tower turns off its lights and rotating logo display after 10pm-ish. So instead, the shot I get was unexpected but nice in a different way, with the unlit Tower silhouetting against the Flower Moon.
