For Macro Mondays "Numbers" theme. A mechanical integrator is a complex device that was used to calculate ship's stability before digital computers became practical. The complete device is similar to this image: commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Mechanical_integrator_CHM...
The lens used was an old manual Zuiko 80mm f/4 macro on a sliding extension tube and micro 4/3's adapter, in spite of what the exif info states. Four Olympus high res shots were stacked in Photoshop. I would of liked to gotten one more but ran of focus adjustment.
The Andromeda Galaxy, with a diameter of 200 light years, is a spiral galaxy at approximately 2.5 million light years from Earth and it is the largest galaxy of the Local Group which also contains the Milky Way, the Triangulum Galaxy (M33) and about 44 other smaller galaxies.
The Andromeda Galaxy is approaching the Milky Way at about 100 kilometres per second. This makes Andromeda one of the few blueshifted galaxies that we observe. It is expected to directly collide with the Milky Way in about 4 billion years. Like the Milky Way, the Andromeda Galaxy has satellite galaxies, consisting of 14 known dwarf galaxies. The best known and most readily observed satellite galaxies are M32 and M110.

While the broken clay pipe used to protect the shoreline along this section of Lake Ontario makes somewhat unsure footing to walk on I loved the contrast it created.

Location: Outer space (space)
Imaged the Heart Nebula located in the constellation Cassiopeia. This has been a lower priority target for me in the past but got bumped up once I went mono. I'm glad I was able to get a decent shot of it this year. My camera and scope combo give a good FOV on this faint target. Oiii was extremely faint, but luckily good narrowband processing techniques can mask that well.
Total exposure time for this image is: 29 hours.
Equipment:
- AT65EDQ Scope
- ZWO ASI1600mm-Pro Imaging Camera
- Belt Modded Orion Sirius EQ-G
- QHY miniGuideScope and QHY5L-ii mono guidecam
- Chroma Ha/Oiii/Sii filters
---------------------------------------------------------------
Software:
- N.I.N.A. for capture
- PHD2 for guiding
- PixInsight for Processing
---------------------------------------------------------------
Acquisition:
- 175 x 300" Ha - Chroma 5nm
- 69 x 300" Oiii - Chroma 3nm
- 104 x 300" Sii - Chroma 3nm
- 200 gain and 50 offset, -10C
- 20 flats and flat-darks per filter
- 30 darks from library
- Nights: 10/12, 10/14, 11/6, 11/7/20
---------------------------------------------------------------
Processing:
Each Master Image:
- Calibration, Integration, DrizzleIntegration
- DynamicCrop
- DynamicBackgroundExtraction
- Deconvolution (Ha only)
- TGVDenoise + MMT noise reduction using EZDenoise Script
- Arcsinhstretch (x2) to bring to nonlinear
- HistogramTransformation for further stretch
- CurvesTransformation to bring up background level
- StarAlign Oiii and Sii to Ha
- Starnet to remove stars from each master; duplicate starless Ha and set aside to use as Luminance layer
Combine Starless Masters via PixelMath:
- Duplicate Oiii and rename to 'f'. CurvesTransformation to boost signal of f and lower background
- R: f*Sii + ~f*Ha
- G: f*(0.7*Ha + 0.3*Sii) + ~f*Oiii
- B: Oiii
- Visit thecoldestnights.com/2020/06/pixinsight-dynamic-narrowban... for more information on Dynamic Narrowband Combinations
- CurvesTransformation to slightly reduce green and boost saturation
Starless Ha Luminance Processing:
- CurvesTransformation for contrast
- RangeMask + LocalHistogramEqualization on Melotte 15 to bring back details
- DarkStructureEnhance script at 0.3
- UnsharpMask using a new RangeMask
Combine Luminance and Color:
- LRGBCombination with Luminance at 85% weight and chrominance noise reduction enabled
Add Back Color Stars and Final Processing:
- StarAlign linear Oiii and Sii masters to linear Ha master
- Arcsinhstretch just barely each linear master
- Duplicate each barely stretched master and Starnet each to remove stars
- PixelMath: Master_Stars - Master_Starless to get just the stars for each channel
- PixelMath: Combine the stars of each channel into a color star image:
- R: Ha_stars
- G: Sii_stars
- B: Oiii_stars
- PixelMath: RGB_Stars + RGB_Nebula to add stars into nebula image
- DynamicCrop to remove edges
- Save and Export

NO GIFS AND ANIMATED ICONS, PLEASE!
I have declared this mythical train officially dead several times already, see here, here and here. And here it is again, the «Transalpin», with its old number 163 back, but no longer heading for Vienna - the train turns right in Wörgl and then continues via Zell am See, Bischofshofen and Selzthal to Graz Hbf. At the moment of taking the picture, it was still about nine hours away from its final destination, though.
The consist is almost fully ÖBB, only the very last (first class) coach is Swiss - as is the loco, of course. The loco was an unusual one in that it is a renovated Re 420 (or Re 4/4 II) class loco known as "LION" (an acronym for Lifting, Integration, Optimierung und Neugestaltung), usually confined to peak-hour S-Bahn consists. But that day, Re 420 218 got to haul a mythical international train with a long and colorful history all the way to Buchs SG.
I wish I had a wider-angle lens for this type of locations, but for now, this will have to do. Mols, 29-03-2014.

Rilke again:
Have patience with everything that remains unsolved in your heart. Try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books written in a foreign language. Do not now look for the answers. They cannot now be given to you because you could not live them. It is a question of experiencing everything. At present you need to live the question. Perhaps you will gradually, without even noticing it, find yourself experiencing the answer, some distant day.
~ Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet ~

And last but not least:
Imagionation is the mother of all possibilities.
(I'm not absolutely sure, but I suppose C. G. Jung said or wrote this once.)
