edit:
v3: better color tones and processing (deconvolution)
v2: reprocessed from raw, better details and colors :) hurray!
M51 and the first light of my new camera :) Despite the purchase, not recommended by many for this type of shooting (long focal length), I did not put off, I was and am convinced it was the right choice (my wallet less)
specs:
Celestron C11 XLT mirror lock mod + Starizona 0.75x reducer on a Skywatcher EQ6 - ZWO ASI1600mm-cool camera and Lacerta standalone guide
45 shots for luminance (bin 1x1, 138/30 gain-offset, 150 sec for shot)
10xRGB shots (90 secs for each)
In the comments the photo of the full setup and location (Monte Beigua, Sassello (SV), Italy)
I am aware that it is not perfect, but after three months of abstinence, with the new camera and bad weather ... a couple of days to corse with convoluted software for masochists that I hate .. and I refuse to pay .. This is the first image, a little bit cropped and not very well framed, but
we are proud of! :)
The Whirlpool Galaxy, also known as Messier 51a, M51a, or NGC 5194, is an interacting grand-design spiral galaxy with a Seyfert 2 active galactic nucleus in the constellation Canes Venatici. It was the first galaxy to be classified as a spiral galaxy. Recently it was estimated to be 23 ± 4 million light-years from the Milky Way, but different methods yield distances between 15 and 35 million light-years. Messier 51 is one of the best known galaxies in the sky. The galaxy and its companion, NGC 5195, are easily observed by amateur astronomers, and the two galaxies may even be seen with binoculars. The Whirlpool Galaxy is also a popular target for professional astronomers, who study it to further understand galaxy structure (particularly structure associated with the spiral arms) and galaxy interactions.

"Bilbao Vibes" Basque Country
Yet we did not leave very late to walk in the midst of the hills of the Val Lamartinien, but the sun was already beginning to drop, and the shadows were lengthening. Anyway, we enjoyed the stroll, there were lovely views all along the way.

Les ombres
On n'était pourtant pas partis très tard se promener au milieu des collines du Val Lamartinien, mais le soleil commençait déjà à baisser, et les ombres s'allongeaient. On a quand même bien profité de la balade, il y avait de jolies vues tout au long du chemin.

I wish you all a wonderful weekend, my friends!
I took this photo on a snow shoe hike at Sudelfeld, an area that belongs to the Bavarian Alps. The light was just great at this afternoon...there is nothing better than combining two passions - hiking and photography...
Ich habe das Bild während einer Schneeschuhwanderung im Sudelfeld, in den Bayerischen Alpen, geschossen. Das Licht war großartig an diesem Nachmittag...es gibt doch nichts Schöneres als zwei Leidenschaften miteinander zu verbinden - Wandern und Fotografieren...

The Netherlands is a small country of 16 million people, but it boasts a quarter of a million competitive speedskaters, and millions more who skate for fun. What's the story? Natural ice in the Netherlands is a rare occurrence. In fact, some winters there's no natural ice at all. Maybe that explains why the Dutch love to skate outdoors. They hardly ever get the chance! But when a cold wave hits, and the interconnected maze of canals, rivers and lakes freeze over, it's a spontaneous celebration, a national holiday. Infinite sea of ice is perfect for ice skating journeys. Ice skating is not only a Dutch sport, it also underwrites the history, art and culture of the Netherlands. Perhaps most importantly a good freeze provides the Dutch a chance to discover the wilderness and an outdoor challenge within their own landscape. The Netherlands are a long distance skater's dream. Hundreds of kilometres of potential routes can carry the skater to the heart of a wild landscape. Today after 4 years we went ice skating on the Ankeveense Plassen.
The Ankeveense Plassen is a real skater’s paradise. As temperatures plunge across Europe, many are cursing the cold. But not in the Netherlands. Many are hoping for further frigid conditions. Photo taken of Dutch people on the lakes of Ankeveen. A first time skating in 2017 is such a rare occurrence.
Schaatsen op natuurijs is het leukste wat er is. Warm inpakken, muts op, handschoenen, schaatsen geslepen, slee mee en gaan. Helaas is het in Nederland niet zo vaak zo koud dat we echt kunnen schaatsen. Veel mensen grijpen vandaag nog even de kans om te schaatsen. Ondanks de waarschuwingen van schaatsbond KNSB om weg te blijven van meren, sloten en kanalen. Het ijs is op veel plekken niet dik genoeg. Daar lieten veel schaatsliefhebbers zich dus niet door weerhouden.. Op 26 januari 2017 verzamelden meerdere mensen op de Ankeveense plassen in de gemeente Wijdemeren. Dat is de plek waar het ijs het sterkst was. Vaak wordt er aangehouden dat het ijs een centimeter of 10 dik moet zijn om veilig op te kunnen schaatsen, en het ijs op de Ankeveense plassen is op het dikste gedeelte maar een centimeter of vijf dik, maar dat weerhield tientallen mensen er niet van om toch even het ijs op te gaan. In Ankeveen was de meest gehoorde reactie: “het is dun, maar het kan wel…”. En dat leverde mooie plaatjes op. Mensen van alle leeftijden op schaatsen, kinderen die een buikschuiver willen maken, mensen die voorzichtig even willen voelen hoe het is om op het ijs te staan. De aantrekkingskracht van het ijs is enorm. Opvallend veel Amsterdammers zoeken hun toevlucht in Ankeveen. ,,Hier kan het al, bij ons op de grachten nog lang niet”, grijnst een meneer. ,,Het is windstil, lekker zonnetje, het is ijs is goed. Wat wil je nog meer?” ,,Natuurlijk kan je door het ijs zakken, maar het leven is niet zonder risico's. Je kan ook onder een auto komen, of er kan een vliegtuig op je huis neerstorten.”
And we dance...we'll dance...
Yellow Salsify, Yellow Goatsbeard or just yellow flowers.
Taken last May at Potager du Roi in Versailles while I was waiting daughter to start her dance performance.
This one goes to my friend Ula, for her beautiful daisy flower.
I think it looks bigger and better if I post it here.
Despite of the title Jack-go-to-bed-at-noon (not Ms Jack my dog but another name of this flower too), I will need to run and swing outside again.

Devant la mer j'ai besoin que tu aies un visage
pour savoir où je suis.
Tu suffis.
Tu me tiens
hors de l'éternité inhumaine.
Homme chaud et sûr
J'entrouvre ton aisselle et dans l'angle regarde
Un coin rescapé
D'une mer devenue précieuse et petite.
Moi aussi.
Je suis petite et précieuse.

Happy new Year 2017 for all my Flickr friends
Sliding into to the New Year with best wishes for a happy and healthy 2017 for all of my Flickr friends, and a sincere thank you for all of your wonderful support in 2016!
Happy New Year and HSS!
I'll still be on break from Flickr for a while after today, friends, but expect to be back on a more regular basis soon.
I usually like to pick only one favorite shot to publish from a specific vista or location, even if I have hundreds of others just as worthy. But I simply could not resist publishing this one from the same meadow, even if this is pano is similar to two other already published shots.
This panorama is made up of 7 portrait exposures stitched in Lightroom, edited also in Photoshop and Nik Color Efex Pro. The resultant photo is about 10k x 5k pixels. Go full screen and press L for the highest resolution available.
Thank you very much for all the faves and comments.
Cela faisait une semaine qu'on était dans le brouillard, pas un brin de soleil, quelle misère !! Ce samedi là, le soleil a émergé timidement, et je voyais de ma maison la Roche de Solutré au loin, dans le soleil, au dessus des bancs de brouillard.
Je me suis alors dit que ce serait une bonne idée d'y aller.
J'ai donc pris la voiture, et après avoir traversé le fond de la vallée dans le brouillard, je suis arrivé par un soleil éclatant et un magnifique ciel bleu au dessus de la Roche de Solutré.
La balade s'annonçait bien !
________________________________
A good excursion idea
We had been all week long in the fog, no sun at all, what a misery !! On Saturday the sun emerged timidly, and I was seeing from my house the Rock of Solutre at the distance, in the sun, above patches of fog.
I said to myself that it would be a good idea to go there.
So I took the car, and after crossing the bottom of the valley in the fog, I arrived by a brilliant sun and a beautiful blue sky above the Rock of Solutre.
The stroll looked promising !

Lying halfway between Lisbon and Oporto in the Beiras region of central Portugal, venerable Coimbra nestles on the banks of the River Mondego in dignified glory. Famed for its university - the oldest in the country - and a fantastic collection of handsome churches, serene monasteries, and lively cultural institutions, Coimbra is also a busy commercial hub with its many shops, boutiques, and appetizing choice of cafés and restaurants. The city center is divided into two neighborhoods, the Lower Town and the Upper Town. Its historic heart lies high above the Mondego on Alcaçova hill, known to the Romans as Aeminium. Here, medieval convents, cathedrals, and some fine museums cluster around the old University. Kings were born in Coimbra; they are entombed here, too. Indeed, it was once the proud capital of the Portuguese nation. This royal heritage permeates the city's steep hills, narrow lanes, and verdant parks, all of which are best explored on foot. And exploration further afield is rewarded with the largest and most compelling Roman site in Portugal, and an emerald-hued forest of enchanting allure and breathtaking beauty.
No.9 oldest University in the world although originally established in the Portuguese capital in 1290, the University of Coimbra, was relocated a number of times by demanding kings, finally ending up in Coimbra, the country’s third-largest urban center and home to much Roman-era history. With a student community of almost 25,000, the University of Coimbra has been through many radical reforms, and for decades of the 18th century it was the only operating university in Portugal. In 2013, the University of Coimbra was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in recognition of its historical buildings, open courtyard, cultural traditions and stunning city-wide views.
De Portugese stad Coimbra heeft tijdens de middeleeuwen gefungeerd als hoofdstad. Destijds stond de stad bekend als Aeminium. De plaats ligt ongeveer 120 kilometer ten zuiden van de stad Porto vandaan. In Coimbra zijn veel waardevolle herinneringen bewaard gebleven die ons meer kunnen vertellen over de afgelopen zeven eeuwen. De universiteit heeft hier een groot aandeel in gehad. De Universiteit van Coimbra is één van de oudste universiteiten van Europa en daarmee van de wereld en is de oudste universiteit van Portugal. De vele studenten die de stad telt zorgen dat de plaatselijke horeca niets te kort komt. Er zijn dan ook veel gezellige clubs, bars, terrassen en restaurants te vinden. Qua festivals doet de stad Coimbra het ook erg goed. Massaal trekken bezoekers richting de stad als de ‘Festa das Latas of Queima das Fitas’ de stad lijken over te nemen. De studenten houden de historie volle stad Coimbra goed in leven. De rust vind je vooral in de groene delen van de stad. Parken zoals Penedo da Saudade, Santa Cruz Park, Mata Nacional do Choupal en de botanische tuin van de universiteit worden dan ook veelvuldig bezocht door zowel gasten als de lokale bevolking zelf. De Universidade de Coimbra heeft het zijn eervolle vermelding vooral verdient aan de hoogstaande kwaliteit en diversiteit van kundigheid aan wat er wordt gepresenteerd. De universiteit heeft naast de vijf campussen ook nog een enorme bibliotheek, botanische tuin, theater, musea, bioscoop en heel veel prachtige oude gebouwen die samen de universiteit van Coimbra vormen. Niet voor niets is het onlangs toegevoegd op de lijst van Unesco World Heritage Site.
