The relatively small observation deck was packed with photographers almost fighting to get a good spot.

While I was exploring this location on the weekend I almost fell down this hole which was near the cliff edge at Point Malcolm Lighthouse on Lake Alexandrina. When I looked down I could see light down there so thought there might have been access via some kind of cave. I was right, and this was the view later on in the evening when the galactic core passed overhead.

The zodiacal light is dust in plane of the solar system reflects sunlight and is visible as a faint glow of light from the lower left extending upwards to the center of the photo.
The bright "star" at the upper right is the planet Jupiter

"Hello what have we here?"
Oh gosh I just can't say how looooong I was waiting for this minifig! I had a chance to see early concepts and since then I've been dreaming of a day to have my own CC Lando.
And boom! Here it is!
Just another fantastic design, kudos to Phoenix Customs Bricks!
Hope you like it guys!
- www.kevin-palmer.com - A short hike on the Joyner Ridge Trail lead to this cliff with a great view of Devils Tower. As soon as it got dark, the core of the milky way was visible directly behind the tower. I combined a short 10-second exposure of the stars with a longer 16-minute exposure of the foreground to increase sharpness and reduce noise.

This is my 1st Milkyway image of 2019 and what a great start too
It never fails to amaze me looking at the night sky and all its wonders and thinking to myself what must be out there looking back at us and yes i am a believer in the unknown beyond planet Earth
It was great to capture the mist channeling through the valleys whilst witnessing the awesome scenes of the night sky and milkyway and just seeing the galactic core for a short period of time
2 Planets are present in this composition which are Jupiter the bright white star and Venus being the Gold colour star
Looking forward to many more night shoots and hope weather plays ball
Thank you for all you amazing comments very much appreciated
Not so far into the future, humanity has expanded it's territory across the galaxy. But other creatures and organizations are not as accepting as the Galactic Peace Corps. The galactic Navy is one of the tools the GPC uses to keep the peace.

This Hubble Space Telescope captures a three-way gravitational tug-of-war between interacting galaxies. This system —known as Arp 195— is featured in the Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies, a list which showcases some of the weirder and more wonderful galaxies in the universe.
Observing time with the Hubble Space Telescope is extremely valuable, so astronomers don't want to waste a second. The schedule for Hubble observations is calculated using a computer algorithm which allows the spacecraft to occasionally gather bonus snapshots of data between longer observations. This image of the clashing triplet of galaxies in Arp 195 is one such snapshot. Extra observations such as these do more than provide spectacular images — they also help to identify promising targets to follow up with telescopes such as the James Webb Space Telescope.

At first I wanted to shoot large mozaic of Milky Way, but due to incoming calima I left with just a single panel total of 20 min. exposure time.
I hope some day i'll finish this project! :)
if you like it, feel free to comment or share! Thanks!:)

A spectacular trio of merging galaxies in the constellation Boötes takes centre stage in this image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. These three galaxies are set on a collision course and will eventually merge into a single larger galaxy, distorting one another’s spiral structure through mutual gravitational interaction in the process. An unrelated foreground galaxy appears to float serenely alongside the collision, and the smudged shapes of much more distant galaxies are visible in the background.
This colliding trio — known to astronomers as SDSSCGB 10189 — is a relatively rare combination of three large star-forming galaxies lying within only 50 000 light-years of one another. While that might sound like a safe distance, for galaxies this makes them extremely close neighbours! Our own galactic neighbours are much further away; Andromeda, the nearest large galaxy to the Milky Way, is more than 2.5 million light-years away from Earth.
This observation was designed to help astronomers understand the origin of the largest, most massive galaxies in the universe. These galactic behemoths are called Brightest Cluster Galaxies (BCGs) and — as the name suggests — are defined as the brightest galaxies in any given galaxy cluster. Astronomers suspect that BCGs form through the merger of large, gas-rich galaxies like the ones in this image. They turned to Hubble’s Wide Field Camera 3 and Advanced Camera for Surveys to investigate this galactic trio in painstaking detail, hoping to shed light on the formation of the Universe’s most massive galaxies.
[Image description: Three galaxies stand together just right of centre. They are close enough that they appear to be merging into one. Their shapes are distorted, with strands of gas and dust running between them. Each is emitting a lot of light. Further to the left is an unconnected, dimmer spiral galaxy. The background is dark, with a few smaller, dim and faint galaxies and a couple of stars.]

I found a lovely lily blooms in the Milky Way.
She was singing. Amazing Voice.

Milky Way over Eagle Lake in Acadia NP, Maine.
On my recent fall photography excursion to Acadia National Park, Maine, I spent several hours exploring the banks of Eagle Lake, the largest freshwater lake in Acadia. I finally settled on this location where I found the shoreline rock to be most interesting. With not a cloud in the sky, I knew it would be challenging to create a compelling sunset image so decided to switch gears into "Astro" mode. This is a blend of two photos; one just after sunset for the foreground and distant mountains, and another about an hour later for the night sky.
Finally a clear night to check my new Sigma 35mm F1.4. I tracked the Sky with Vixen Polarie to avoid trailing (15 sec at f2.0 and ISO 1250) Due to the motion of the Star Tracker i had to take another static shot of the landscape. Later I combined them in Photoshop...et voilà
Probably one of the highest wind turbines I've ever encountered and coming so close to it I felt really overwhelmed by sheer size of those 100 metres giants. Truly epic experience and gazing upwards into spinning sails it was like being on space ship with one of those rotating wheels that create artificial gravity.
It was all fingers crossed for clear skies for Lulworth Cove Thursday. Close to a New Moon and the Milky Way aligning with the mouth of the cove makes for a worthy trip on a “school night” on its own. However there was also an ISS pass in the southern sky and also Mars and Saturn just above the horizon. This couldn’t be missed. It’s these special moments that make landscape photography for me so special.
If you want to know which one is Saturn and Mars then check out Stellarium on the 4th Aug 2016 at about 23:36.

After arriving at the Alabama Hills my wife and I made our way over to the Mobius Arch for some nighttime shooting of the Milky Way. We met another really nice couple out there doing the same thing, and we teamed up helping take photos of each other by the arch.
Somehow, I was persuaded to climb up on this thing and have my photo taken, while the other couple was lighting the arch from below with a red headlamp. I am not a fan of heights, and standing 20+ feet in the air trying to hold still for 30 seconds feels like an eternity, but we did it!
This is one of the most memorable and fun evenings of my photography "career", especially because I was able to share this experience with my wife and we met some new friends.
