This very MOOtiful double act were busy posing just outside my brother's property near Orange in New South Wales.
Cattle—colloquially cows—are the most common type of large domesticated ungulates. They are a prominent modern member of the subfamily Bovinae, are the most widespread species of the genus Bos, and are most commonly classified collectively as Bos taurus.
Cattle are commonly raised as livestock for meat (beef or veal, see beef cattle), for milk (see dairy cattle), and for hides, which are used to make leather. They are used as riding animals and draft animals (oxen or bullocks, which pull carts, plows and other implements). Another product of cattle is dung, which can be used to create manure or fuel. In some regions, such as parts of India, cattle have significant religious meaning. Cattle, mostly small breeds such as the Miniature Zebu, are also kept as pets.
Around 10,500 years ago, cattle were domesticated from as few as 80 progenitors in central Anatolia, the Levant and Western Iran. According to an estimate from 2011, there are 1.4 billion cattle in the world. In 2009, cattle became one of the first livestock animals to have a fully mapped genome.

Carcès (pronounced car-says') is a village in the Var, between Cotignac and the Thoronet Abbey. It's quite a large village, laid out in a rectangle, with the different parts of the village separated somewhat from each other. One part, perched on a low hill and called the old town (vieille ville), has a lot of stone walls and stone arches. The "newer" parts of Carcès, though, have narrow streets, vaulted passages and medieval portails and ancient houses and doorways. All in all, Carcès is a very interesting village to visit. One of the most striking things about Carcès are the trompe l'oeil wall murals and the colorful fish-scale wall tiles on some of the houses.
The mairie (town hall) and the library (médiatheque municipale) are located in a quiet little square completely surrounded by buildings, at the site of an old olive-oil mill, the "Huilerie St Charles". In a hidden little passage behind the library, the large iron waterwheel is still in place against the back of the building.
Commerce and Cafés
Carcès has a good variety of shops for every-day needs, including gift/souvenir shops, banks, and a post office.
The selection of terrace cafés seemed a bit limited, but we did find a couple that were nicely acceptable. One is located on the Place des Martyrs de la Résistance (Place de l'Hotel de Ville on the town map), shaded by enormous platan trees and bordered by ancient buildings and the picturesque bell tower with campanile on top and arched passage at the bottom. The fountain here, with a tall column and four carven faces is nicely grungy on one side, accentuating its age.
Saturday morning market day is a real event in Carcès. The market fills several streets in the central part of town, and there's a good variety in the types of stalls, including, clothes, baskets, cooked foods, Provencal and local specialities, olive-wood items, fruits, vegetables, and so on. The nearby Lac de Carcès, about 4 km south of town, is pretty, but doesn't have beaches, swimming, boating or water sports.
Cabro d'Or Legend (Légende de la Cabro d'Or). The legend of the mysterious golden goat is popular in Carcès, with the town's main hotel-restaurant named after it.
Trompe l'oeil Murals
There are four main trompe l'oeil wall mural locations, but smaller ones decorate buildings here and there in the town.
1 - at the Ofice de Tourisme building (corner of Rue Marechal Foch and Ave G. Clemenceau), depicts sacks and barrels being hoisted up the side of the building to be stored in the warehouse.
2 - at the top of Rue Marechal Foch, close to the Office de Tourisme, a group of Royals are standing inside an arched passage.
3 - Rue Hoche at the northern edge of town, a woman hangs clothes on an upper-floor terrace while a man presses grapes around the side of the ground floor.
4 - Rue Florentin Giraud, the long "maison de repos" building has a wonderful collection of different facades, pastel colors, shutters and balistrades, pillars, tiled roofs and drain pipes.
The wall paintings are all done by the same artist: Michel DEGUIL. His phone number is on the "maison de repos" facade.
Fountains
A guidebook from the Office de Tourisme lists 19 fountains on a "Circuits des Fontaines et Lavoirs", similar to the (Gonfaron). Touring Carcès to locate the fountains would be a fun way to see the town, but you would have to mark the locations on a map yourself.
The village of Gonfaron, about 20 km to the southeast, also has a circuit of discovery for their village's 16 ancient fountains, and they have an animal legend with their "flying donkey".

Meu primeiro registro da pequena (em tamanho aparente/angular) Galáxia do Sombreiro. O processamento foi bastante trabalhoso. Preciso estudar melhores formas de captação/processamento para essa galáxia. Neste registro estão somados frames captados em dois dias consecutivos, totalizando 6 horas e 38 minutos de exposição empilhados. Aproximadamente metade dos frames foram realizados sem filtro e a outra metade com o filtro Optolong L-eNhance.
"A galáxia do Sombreiro (Messier 104, NGC 4594), é uma galáxia espiral com núcleo brilhante rodeado por um disco achatado de material escuro, que fica a 28 milhões de anos-luz de distância. Essa brilhante galáxia é conhecida como sombreiro devido a sua aparência característica que se assemelha a um chapéu. A galáxia possui uma magnitude aparente de +8,3". Fonte: Wikipedia.org

@LopesCosmos
The Andromeda Galaxy also known as Messier 31, M31, or NGC 224 and originally the Andromeda Nebula, is a spiral galaxy approximately 2.5 million light-years from Earth, and the nearest major galaxy to the Milky Way. The galaxy's name stems from the area of Earth's sky in which it appears, the constellation of Andromeda.
The virial mass of the Andromeda Galaxy is of the same order of magnitude as that of the Milky Way, at a trillion solar masses.
The number of stars contained in the Andromeda Galaxy is estimated at one trillion, or roughly twice the number estimated for the Milky Way.
The Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies are expected to collide in around 4.5 billion years, merging to form a giant elliptical galaxy or a large lenticular galaxy. With an apparent magnitude of 3.4, the Andromeda Galaxy is among the brightest of the Messier Objects making it visible to the naked eye from Earth on moonless nights, even when viewed from areas with moderate light pollution.

M101 The Pinwheel Galaxy May 2025
The Pinwheel Galaxy (also known as Messier 101 or NGC 5457) is an asymmetrical, face-on spiral galaxy distanced 21.6 million light-years from Earth in Ursa Major. At 252,000 light-years across it is 70% larger than our own Milky Way galaxy, has a disk mass of over 100 billion solar masses and contains about a trillion stars.

The Andromeda galaxy, 2.5 million lightyears distant, the furthest object in the sky that can be seen with the naked eye. Contains more than 400 billion stars, the bright yellow core has most of the mass, consisting of the oldest yellow stars. The blue regions around the galaxy consist of younger hotter stars. The darker areas consist of dust and gas lanes tracing out the spiral arms of the galaxy. The galaxy is edge on with a slight tilt to our line of site, the warp in the galaxy stands out clearly, this is possibly due to gravitational interactions with the satellite galaxies, or nearby galaxies like M33 in Triangulum. Note the warp is in the outer regions of the galaxy, where the gravity is less strong. The two smaller satellite galaxies are gravitationally tied to Andromeda and interact with it.
Bortle class 6/7 skies.
Exposure time, 2hrs 42m 41s, 233 frames @ ISO 6400, 3200, 1600. Capture and processing time etc approx. 30hrs, several dozen subs were deleted due to slight tracking errors and light pollution, haze, fogging etc.
80mm F6 refractor
Fornax Lightrack mount unguided
Canon 760D, no filters were used.
Post processing in Lightroom and Canon DDP.
Subs collected over several nights in all conditions, ie dodging clouds and haze, moon present and only 3 clears nights with excellent seeing, but I could not dedicate all the time to M31, read on.
Due to the type of mount I use, I cannot track across the Zenith as my 500mm refractor hits against the Fornax drive, I would have to wait for 1 to 2 hours for the sky to move to the west allowing my scope to be set up on the other side of the mount. I would look at objects rising in the east until I could get back to M31 a while later.
In galaxy and nebulae
Mirrors the deep and lustrous
Kind of planet
Reflecting its alike twins
Already existing for trillion generations
The trillion light years beyond the universe and outer space
In galaxy and nebulae
Matters not a daytime or a night
The planets distributed the gravity without right or wrong
Flying stones, dusts and rocks drifting without gain or loss
Nebula alternating its light and dark in deep outburst
The instant birth and death of meteor’s collision
In galaxy and nebulae
Every moment is like this life
Setting forth the human in earth
The future is an unpredictable journey
Subsisting in a spacecraft with constant temperature
The heading direction beyond cold and hot
In galaxy and nebulae
Sperm and ovum combining the continuation of embryo
Youth withered in flight
Life a newborn in flight
Soaring further to a deep and gloomy milky way
The difference of love and hate gradually lost its remembrance
In galaxy and nebulae
The countless stars flashing high in universe
Dodging a farewell, separation is beyond the countless light years
Suddenly find one like the twin of earth
A new birth or a casting shadow?
The contradiction of lonesomeness and intimacy entangled in an encounter
