Early morning alignment of (l-to-r) Mars, Saturn, and Jupiter with the Moon. About an hour before sunrise 16 April 2020. Moncton, NB. A few minutes after the tidal bore. No one around. Over the past couple of days, the Moon has been sweeping the 3 planets from right to left. Looking south-ish over Riverview.
Corky did me a huge favour here by coming up in pretty much the dead centre of the pool, so everything sort of lines up. Her vertical spins are very impressive.

I uploaded these 3 for one to go through to post at HBW tomorrow. A sort of Bokeh idol if you like. The one with the most votes gets posted
Ok this is the winner. Thanks everyone. HBW

The apparent alignment of layers of ochre and the Milky Way at the Ochre Cliffs north of Lyndhurst, South Australia. Lit by moonlight. Processed with a daylight white balance for star colours in Lightroom, Tamron lens.
By correctly fitting this lens hood, as shown here... one can clearly see what a great job it's doing, in shielding the front element of the lens.
...as far as the eye can see...
Taken on Tenerife in Canary Islands few years ago on our babymoon...
Hope you like it...:)
I love how these two 16th century buildings were built in perfect alignment allowing one to reflect on their symmetry and harmony. The domes and arches in the background are of the MIr-i Arab Madrassah as they are seen from inside the courtyard of the Kalon Mosque. From this viewpoint, they appear to be one.
I so wanted to take this photo with no one in the way, but it was not to be.
Bukhara, Uzbekistan
Description: This is my image of Comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF) based on a total exposure time of about 2 hours. The green color is not an artifact. It is thought to be due to the photodissociation by solar radiation of dicarbon molecules present in the coma . The photodissociation mechanism is well-described in www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2113315118.

Equipment:
Scope: WO Zenith Star 81mm f/6.9 with WO 6AIII Flattener/Focal Reducer x0.8
OSC Camera: ZWO ASI 2600 MC Pro at 100 Gain and 50 Offset
Mount: iOptron GEM28-EC
Guider: ZWO Off-Axis Guider
Guide Camera: ZWO ASI 174mm mini
Focuser: ZWO EAF
Light Pollution Filter: Chroma LoGlow Broadband
Processing Software: Pixinsight
Processing Steps:
Here, I used Pixinsight's Comet Alignment process as described in Warren A. Keller's "Inside Pixinsight" (Second Edition).
Star Alignment Step: First, I processed 68x120s subs (= 2.26 hours) in Pixinsight to get registered images using the following processes: Image Calibration > Cosmetic Correction > Subframe Selector > Debayer > Select Reference Star > Star Alignment.
First Comet Alignment Step: Next, to the registered images from the preceding Star Alignment step, I applied the Comet Alignment process in Pixinsight to generate comet aligned files.
First Integration Step: I then integrated the comet aligned files from the preceding step to produce a Comet Master file.
Second Comet Alignment Step involving subtraction: To the registered images from the Star Alignment step, I applied the Comet Alignment process in Pixinsight, with the stipulation that the Subtract Operand Field contain the Comet Master file, to generate subtraction files.
Second Integration Step: I then integrated the subtraction files from the preceding step to produce a Star Master file.
Pixel Math Step: Next, I blended the Comet Master file and the Star Master file using the expression 2*Comet Master file + Star master file in order to get a Final Merged file.
To the Final Merged file, I applied the following processes:
Linear Postprocessing: Rotation > Dynamic Crop > Dynamic Background Extractor (both subtraction to remove light pollution gradients and division for flat field corrections) > Background Neutralization > Color Calibration > Noise Xterminator.
Nonlinear Postprocessing: Histogram Transformation > Local Histogram Equalization > Curves Transformation.
This consonance with my gaze
is no longer a choice,
it has become a necessity.
Forms look for each other,
symmetry holds back chaos,
light finds a possible order.
When everything aligns,
even silence has a direction.
Questa consonanza con lo sguardo
non è più scelta,
è diventata necessità.
Le forme si cercano,
la simmetria trattiene il caos,
la luce trova un ordine possibile.
Quando tutto si allinea,
anche il silenzio ha una direzione.
