The Rosette Nebula (also known as Caldwell 49) is a large spherical H II region (circular in appearance) located near one end of a giant molecular cloud in the Monoceros region of the Milky Way Galaxy. The open cluster NGC 2244 (Caldwell 50) is closely associated with the nebulosity, the stars of the cluster having formed from the nebula's matter.
The cluster and nebula lie at a distance of some 5,000 light-years from Earth and measure roughly 130 light years in diameter.
The radiation from the young stars excites the atoms in the nebula, causing them to emit radiation themselves producing the emission nebula we see. The mass of the nebula is estimated to be around 10,000 solar masses.

Goto Predestination” (“God’s Foreknowledge”) is the first Russian sailing battle ship, which was built on the project of Peter I. Many of the works were controlled by him personally. The construction of the twin-deck, 58-gun ship began in 1698, and in 1700 “Goto Predestination” was floated. The ship fought in Azov. In 1712, it was sold to Turkey and renamed “Moscow Capudania”. In 1718 the battleship was recognized disused and sold for scrap.
The Voronezh Region Government decided to build a sailing copy of “Goto Predestination” in 2009. The construction was started on March 2011: the metal base of “Goto Predestination” was manufactured at the boatyard in Pavlovsk, and the wooden frame was made at Karelia shipyard “Varyag”. The ship will be a part of the historic park and will sail on the Voronezh river waters.

Rus.: Комета Джакобини-Циннера в созвездии Возничего
Это моё второе свидание с кометой. На этот раз встречал гостью на своём балконе.
Конечно, городское небо с его интенсивной засветкой не оставило шансов рассмотреть комету.
Поймал комету не визуально, а с помощью функции Precision goto монтировки с автонаведением.
Координат кометы монтировка, конечно, не знала, но я их взял по планетарию Stellarium на ожидаемое время:
04.09.2018 1:55
Прямое восхождение/Склонение (на дату): 5h18m5.53s/+44°12'34.4"
RA=05h18m05.5s
Часовой угол/Склонение: 18h22m3.73s/+44°13'28.2" (видимые)
Dec=+44°13'28.2"
Далее внёс координаты в монтировку и она вычислила, что ближайшим ярким ориентиром станет звезда Капелла.
Показала Капеллу, по этой яркой звезде я скорректировал прицел и фокус, а уж потом монтировка автоматически перенесла меня к неведимке-комете.
И хоть визуально комету отличить не удалось, зато на фото (начиная с выдержки 10s) она сразу бросилась в глаза, отличаясь от всех окружающих звёзд.
Увы, цвет её богатого пышного "платья" с огромным шлейфом различить не удалось даже на фото (если искусственно усилить, то он бирюзовый).
За городом в предыдущую встречу различить цвет было легче. А городское небо обесцвечивает неяркие объекты.
Яркость кометы по данным планетария составила уже 7.12m, но на городском небе она казалась темнее.
Например, расположенная в кадре звезда HIP 24775 (SAO 40219, HD 34300) имеет яркость лишь 8.5m, а выглядит ярче кометы - на фото оказалась самым ярким ориентиром.

I've always avoided doing DSOs in Moonlight but a while back, I bought an Optolong L-eNhance Triband filter which can be helpful in reducing light pollution and stray Moonlight - it predominantly passes 3 narrow band widths centred on:
Hydrogen Alpha: Red, 656.4 nm
Oxygen III: Green, 500.7nm
Hydrogen Beta: Green-Blue, 486 nm
The filter is certainly more opaque than my standard IDAS P3 light pollution suppression filter. Usually my flats are exposed at 1600ms but for this filter it was 6500ms at 0 gain. Autofocus and plate solving exposures were 4s at 578 gain.
The raw image was lacking in contrast - not surprising given the Moonlight but I've used curves enhancement and local contrast enhancement in PixInsight to improve that. I haven't altered the colour palette as this was a first test for this filter.

I love studio shots. He took this himself on a borrowed
panoramic camera. They're highly manipulated photos.
His show at Kettle's Yard was superb.
Could use some non-hair-flyaway type stuff, but otherwise I managed to pull a look together. Oh, and lipstick. Hannah must teach me how to wear LIPSTICK for godssake.

Her weapon is a spear and can also use a small tantō that she dons as a hair accessory.
No harsh judgment, the original game model is very low poly and textures are also desires to be better.
I did the best what is possible with this model while porting.

A lover of jazz, a promoter of European creativity above
America's tendency to replace us as the globalisers, he was
a serious man who was always humorous, a cool dresser and dancer, a lover of jazz and cinema.
Among his works that have already stood the test of time are Terezin, The Atomic Yard and Lovers Rock.
He is survived by his two charming and talented daughters and hugely supportive partner Celia. www.johngoto.org.uk

Interview with Hideaki Hamada
The Covid-19 stay-at-home order for Maryland has provided me with additional time to work out a few kinks that normally would have been put on the back burner. One of these was to figure out if I could take my new “Standard” Questar 3.5-inch telescope and use it on a German Equatorial mount that can automatically find and point to objects in the night sky (GoTo). I have converted my old Celestron Advanced VX-telescope mount to accept the Questar, by upgrading the mounting-head and using a wide dove-plate. Preliminary tests (three-nights), under the stars, have proven promising. The ease of use has increased a 100-fold and it costed me less than $250 to modify.
Voronezh is a city and the administrative centre of Voronezh Oblast in southwestern Russia straddling the Voronezh River, located 12 kilometers (7.5 mi) from where it flows into the Don River. The city sits on the Southeastern Railway, which connects western Russia with the Urals and Siberia, the Caucasus and Ukraine, and the M4 highway (Moscow–Voronezh–Rostov-on-Don–Novorossiysk). In recent years the city has experienced rapid population growth, rising in 2021 to 1,057,681, up from 889,680 recorded in the 2010 Census, making it the 14th-most populous city in the country.
The first chronicle references to the word "Voronezh" are dated 1177, when the Ryazan prince Yaropolk, having lost the battle, fled "to Voronozh" and there was moving "from town to town". Modern data of archeology and history interpret Voronezh as a geographical region, which included the Voronezh river (tributary of the Don) and a number of settlements. In the lower reaches of the river, a unique Slavic town-planning complex of the 8th – early 11th century was discovered, which covered the territory of the present city of Voronezh and its environs (about 42 km long, about 13 forts and many unfortified villages). By the 12th – 13th centuries, most of the old towns were desolate, but new settlements appeared upstream, closer to Ryazan.
For many years, the hypothesis of the Soviet historian Vladimir Zagorovsky dominated: he produced the toponym "Voronezh" from the hypothetical Slavic personal name Voroneg. This man allegedly gave the name of a small town in the Chernigov Principality (now the village of Voronizh in Ukraine). Later, in the 11th or 12th century, the settlers were able to "transfer" this name to the Don region, where they named the second city Voronezh, and the river got its name from the city. However, now many researchers criticize the hypothesis, since in reality neither the name of Voroneg nor the second city was revealed, and usually the names of Russian cities repeated the names of the rivers, but not vice versa.
A comprehensive scientific analysis was conducted in 2015–2016 by the historian Pavel Popov. His conclusion: "Voronezh" is a probable Slavic macrotoponym associated with outstanding signs of nature, has a root voron- (from the proto-Slavic vorn) in the meaning of "black, dark" and the suffix -ezh (-azh, -ozh). It was not “transferred” and in the 8th - 9th centuries it marked a vast territory covered with black forests (oak forests) - from the mouth of the Voronezh river to the Voronozhsky annalistic forests in the middle and upper reaches of the river, and in the west to the Don (many forests were cut down). The historian believes that the main "city" of the early town-planning complex could repeat the name of the region – Voronezh. Now the hillfort is located in the administrative part of the modern city, in the Voronezh upland oak forest. This is one of Europe's largest ancient Slavic hillforts, the area of which – more than 9 hectares – 13 times the area of the main settlement in Kyiv before the baptism of Rus.
In it is assumed that the word "Voronezh" means bluing - a technique to increase the corrosion resistance of iron products. This explanation fits well with the proximity to the ancient city of Voronezh of a large iron deposit and the city of Stary Oskol. As well as the name of Voroneț Monastery known for its blue shade.
Folk etymology claims the name comes from combining the Russian words for raven (ворон) and hedgehog (еж) into Воронеж. According to this explanation two Slavic tribes named after the animals used this combination to name the river which later in turn provided the name for a settlement. There is not believed to be any scientific support for this explanation.
In the 16th century, the Middle Don basin, including the Voronezh river, was gradually conquered by Muscovy from the Nogai Horde (a successor state of the Golden Horde), and the current city of Voronezh was established in 1585 by Feodor I as a fort protecting the Muravsky Trail trade route against the slave raids of the Nogai and Crimean Tatars. The city was named after the river.
17th to 19th centuries
In the 17th century, Voronezh gradually evolved into a sizable town. Weronecz is shown on the Worona river in Resania in Joan Blaeu's map of 1645. Peter the Great built a dockyard in Voronezh where the Azov Flotilla was constructed for the Azov campaigns in 1695 and 1696. This fleet, the first ever built in Russia, included the first Russian ship of the line, Goto Predestinatsia. The Orthodox diocese of Voronezh was instituted in 1682 and its first bishop, Mitrofan of Voronezh, was later proclaimed the town's patron saint.
Owing to the Voronezh Admiralty Wharf, for a short time, Voronezh became the largest city of South Russia and the economic center of a large and fertile region. In 1711, it was made the seat of the Azov Governorate, which eventually morphed into the Voronezh Governorate.
In the 19th century, Voronezh was a center of the Central Black Earth Region. Manufacturing industry (mills, tallow-melting, butter-making, soap, leather, and other works) as well as bread, cattle, suet, and the hair trade developed in the town. A railway connected Voronezh with Moscow in 1868 and Rostov-on-Don in 1871.
