Thompson Library had been closed for the last couple years for renovations while I had been visiting my daughter and her fiance in Columbus. It was reopened this past year and we got to visit it. Lovely and amazing to say the least!! I did not get to use it over a couple of days so I have no idea if it is functional or not. But those stacks! Oh my! Please UIUC take a look and do *something*!

Well seeing (pun not intended) as lots of other people have managed some great shots, I though I'd try and do one of the classic Flikr shots!
I'd have preferred to take a photo of someone else's eye but no one will let me and I got bored waiting :-(

Flickr Friends Mega Meeting 2008
Pousada do Verde - Passa Quatro/MG - 12/07/2008

Chicago, Illinois. View southeast across Lincoln Park and Lake Michigan at the night sky around 9:45 pm. Photo made with a Nikon 20mm 1.8 S lens attached to a Nikon Z7II.
This image is best viewed on a device with a large screen and in subdued light. At wide open aperture this lens does display an effect called "coma." When photographing stars that are located on the outer parts of the image they sometimes appear "droplet" shaped as opposed to the round shape that they actually are. Also it may be necessary to enlarge the image to more clearly understand the explanations noted below.
The bright dot at the center of the image and at the junction of the two "wing" clouds is Rigel, a pulsating variable double star. The bright dot near the top of the image and slightly left of center is Aldebaran, a variable double star. To the far left and slightly above Aldebaran is a bright dot that is the double star Elnath. The three closely spaced bright dots to the left of Rigel are (bottom to top) Alnitak, Alnilam and Mintaka, each of which are actually composed of at least two stars. The bright dot up and to the left of Mintaka is Bellatrix, another double star. The bright dot to the left and slightly below Bellatrix is Betelguese, a pulsating variable double star. About midway between Rigel and Alnitak are three bright areas in a line. The center object is the Orion Nebula. There are numerous other stars visible and I refer the viewer to the Stellarium app to help identify them.
