i thought i heard your voice call for me,
in faint whispers, I set myself in the light.
but love, you did not show, you were "no more.."
and for that, i surrendered this plight..
The full moon was a beauty tonight in Melbourne, with faint clouds gliding past. Shot this at the Guide Dogs Victoria site, on my way home from a long birding afternoon at Western Treatment Plant.

(27/7/24)
An ice crystal halo around the waxing gibbous Moon set in the winter stars of a January night. The 22° halo is most obvious and with a reddish and sharper inner rim., and a bluish and more diffuse outer edge. But a faint inner 8° halo is also visible, a rare halo sometimes called the Van Buijsen Halo (according to Lynch and Livingston in their book Color and Light in Nature; Minnaert also mentions it in his seminal book The Nature of Color and Light in the Open Air). It is not a lens flare as shots taken with the Moon well off to one side of the frame still show the inner halo centred on the Moon. Nor is it an artifact of the exposure blending as it is present on the raw single long-exposure image.
The Moon was in Taurus this night and very close to Mars, shining here as the red point of light just above the Moon. An occultation occured for locatons in the southern U.S. and Mexico this night, but for me in Alberta it was a very close conjunction. Orion is at lower left; Auriga is above the Moon; and Perseus is at upper right.
To retain the disk of the Moon and better capture the scene as the eye saw it, this is a blend of 8 untracked exposures, from 30 seconds to 1/250 second with the RF15-35mm lens at 22mm and f/4 and Canon R5 at ISO 400. Being untracked exposures, the stars are trailed somewhat. Frames manually aligned then blended with luminosity masks created with Lumenzia. A mild glow effect was added with Radiant Photo plug-in.
A peaceful trail in north eastern Victoria, located in between Falls Creek and Mount Beauty leads to this magnificent waterfall.
JMT DAY 2 - MILKY WAY OVER BANNER PEAK SEEN FROM ISLAND PASS
Milky Way over Banner Peak seen from Island Pass: JMT201802003
The night was calm, and the sky was clear of smoke. The faint Milky Way got slowly brighter as the sky got darker. Thousands of stars were strewn across the heavenly body. Soon Mars followed, and its bright reflection in the lake was just unmistakable.
Mars is the planet that everyone who is into us becoming an interplanetary species is looking at lately. But, let alone the fact that we wouldn’t be able to breathe or walk around like we do here on earth, there is no water that we can call lakes and walk around.
It is projected that it would take at least six months to travel to Mars one way. And space radiation is considered number one risk in sending humans to Mars at this point. I understand that it is the first step to become an interplanetary species, followed by more space travels and planet discoveries in the future, although many will be born on other planets once we become a true interplanetary species, I wonder if it is truly worth leaving everything behind.
But one thing is certain. Our galaxy would look the same when it were seen from Mars.
On the Balboa Peninsula, Newport Beach, CA
doing my best to keep social distance and wearing a kerchief
I was on my way to pick up a pizza then back home.
I did have my little Sony with the Zeiss 24 1.8 in the trunk of my car, just in case.
The longer I stayed the better and fuller the rainbow became.
Finally becoming a full arch in the sky, something I've never seen before, awe inspiring sight.
There is a second much fainter rainbow above.

Comet C/2020 F3 (NEOWISE) taken on July 27th 2020 with 412mm focal length. Both, dust and ion tail got a lot fainter, when compared to 2 weeks earlier:

This is a stack of 71 exposures of 30 seconds each at ISO 1600. Taken with a Nikon D750 and a Skywatcher Esprit 100/550 telescope in rural Upper Austria. Focal length reduced to 412mm with a Ricciardi Reducer.
Tracking with Skywatcher EQ6-R, Autoguiding with MGEN-3. Processed in Astro Pixel Processor and Photoshop.
Ezekiel 31:15 “Thus saith the Lord GOD; In the day when he went down to the grave I caused a mourning: I covered the deep for him, and I restrained the floods thereof, and the great waters were stayed: and I caused Lebanon to mourn for him, and all the trees of the field fainted for him.”
Look at the bright star near the left border of the photo: Spica. From a distance you will see a brightening around this star.
This brightening is the Gegenschein, sunlit scattered by interplanetary dust at the antisolar point.
The Gegenschein is really difficult to spot, you need a clear moonless night and the help of a camera, in my photo battling some light pollution it is faintly visible.
Knowing that the antisolar point was near Spica at the time the photo was taken helped a lot.
