Astronomy and Space Science - For Explorers of All Ages

And so thanks to the incredible generosity of my best friend Vera (Professional Voice Actor - Click Here ), I got a loan to get me the Tamron 150-600mm G2 A022 Telescopic Lens, of which I trialled this morning, after waking far too early. It had occurred to me after receiving the lens I could use the full focal length and zoom in on garden pots, flowers and other blooms that are on balconies and out of reach areas, but look really good. So hence I leaned over my balcony and got this shot of a beautiful Night Sky Petunia, I actually came up with the title before I had ID'd the flower.
But now I have an ear worm of Metallica's cover of Astronomy from the Garage Days album playing in my head, so now with this massive, professional lens, I can now play with the big Boys and Girls! I've more shots on the way, stay tuned!
In the meantime, it's Friday so enjoy the weekend people and as always, thank you! :)
PS: Zoom in ;)

Beneath the Ancient Skies of Atacama
A moment of connection between Earth and the cosmos at Hierbas Buenas, one of the most remarkable archaeological sites in the Atacama Desert.
Above, the southern Milky Way shines in all its glory, revealing glowing hydrogen clouds, dark dust lanes, and billions of distant stars.

Here is my latest deep-space photograph. I battled a LOT of mayflies to get this shot 😆
This is M13, the Hercules star cluster. This globular cluster spans nearly 150 light-years in diameter with up to 500,000 stars, and it is roughly 25,000 light-years away. There is a tiny galaxy that is in there, too. It is NGC6207 and is positioned just to the bottom right of the star cluster. It is the bluish, elliptical-shaped star-like light.
I took this shot with my ASI533MC and Redcat 61 near the Lake Erie shoreline on Friday night (June 12th). It is about 2 hours of total photography time before the clouds ended the night.
With an elaborate, and accurate, illusion created for the Hogwarts Astronomy class, many a student was literally starstruck at the sight. Caspian and Marigold, of course, ended up taking some time to enjoy a quiet moment to observe after class was over.

This is the final image of my Moulton Barn Milky Way series. It is a 8 panel panorama showing the whole arch of Milky Way.
I addition to Milky Way, there are several deep sky objects visible. Examples are:
- North America Nebula (NGC 7000) on the upper left in the Milky Way arch
- Andromeda Galaxy (M31) on the left side, above the horizon, between the tree and Milky Way
As well visible are the green and red skyglow and, on the far right, light pollution from the nearby town of Jackson.
The barn was illuminated with low level lighting using two LED panels. As one of these panals was in the field of view when taking the left side of the image, it was removed for the second halve of the shots.
