What keeps these filaments attached to this galaxy? The filaments persist in NGC 1275 even though the turmoil of galactic collisions should destroy them. First, active galaxy NGC 1275 is the central, dominant member of the large and relatively nearby Perseus Cluster of Galaxies. Wild-looking at visible wavelengths, the active galaxy is also a prodigious source of x-rays and radio emission. NGC 1275 accretes matter as entire galaxies fall into it, ultimately feeding a supermassive black hole at the galaxy's core. This composite image, recreated from archival Hubble Space Telescope data, highlights the resulting galactic debris and filaments of glowing gas, some up to 20,000 light-years long. Observations indicate that the structures, pushed out from the galaxy's center by the black hole's activity, are held together by magnetic fields. Also known as Perseus A, NGC 1275 spans over 100,000 light years and lies about 230 million light years away. via NASA ift.tt/2oxl0Ts

R7s J78 halogen tube linear (78mm) 150w. The filament has become so distorted it is starting to melt it's way through the glass.

Hydrogen alpha image of the sun. I've added some notes to a couple of features I saw on the disk. I am not sure if the small scale details are real features or artificial due to noise or JPEG artifacts.

Camera: Nikon Coolpix 995
Telescope: Coronado Hydogen Alpha PST
Eyepiece: 18mm
Exposure: 1/500 second
There are only a few places left here where you can buy the old incandescent bulbs now. I know how much better for the environment the flourescent globes are but I can't deny that I prefer the color of the old bulbs.

Sha Tin, Hong Kong - June 23rd, 2011
Un-retouched and shot under a blackening, post-typhoon sky.
I've become entranced by the thready filaments and almost prehistoric beauty of banyan trees.
I'll add more until the inspiration falls away or I find a greater temptation to explore.
