The lives of planetary nebulae are often chaotic, from the death of their parent star to the scattering of its contents far out into space. Captured here by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, ESO 455-10 is one such planetary nebula, located in the constellation of Scorpius (The Scorpion).
The oblate shells of ESO 455-10, previously held tightly together as layers of its central star, not only give this planetary nebula its unique appearance, but also offer information about the nebula. Seen in a field of stars, the distinct asymmetrical arc of material over the north side of the nebula is a clear sign of interactions between ESO 455-10 and the interstellar medium.
The interstellar medium is the material — consisting of matter and radiation — between star systems and galaxies. The star at the centre of ESO 455-10 allows Hubble to see the interaction with the gas and dust of the nebula, the surrounding interstellar medium, and the light from the star itself. Planetary nebulae are thought to be crucial in galactic enrichment as they distribute their elements, particularly the heavier metal elements produced inside a star, into the interstellar medium which will in time form the next generation of stars.

Free time constraints and adverse weather conditions almost disabled to take a decent photo of the C/2020 F3 NEOWISE comet. In 2 days it will not be visible any more....and it takes another 6766 (!!!) years until it enters into our Solar System and can be spotted again!
So, I am a lucky guy. :)
The photo was taken in the hills, in an area surrounded by forests clearing the majority of the light pollution coming from the villages and smaller cities a few kilometres away.
Per astro shooters the best time to capture the C/2020 F3 NEOWISE was between 22:00-23:30 on this day, below the Big Dipper- they were absolutely right. Had a clear sky with a few patches of clouds but these don't ruin the image but make it more interesting. The orange shade is composed by the remaining light of the sun set 1h ago. Used my astro shooting ultrawide-angle lens (Samyang 24mm f1.4) to gather enough light to show the stars and the comet and decrease digital noise. The camera was in full manual mode, manual focus with Live View mode at 16x magnification to the brightest star.
Shutter speed: 20 sec, Aperture: f 2. ISO 1600.
The comet was barely visible to the naked eye but this great lens 'saw' much more.

My first time ever shooting the Milky Way, was such a great experience! All alone near the lake, with shimmering stars, calm winds & the possibility of bear attack, kept me on my feet :)

spent a week driving in and out of town in seek of documenting the perseid meteor shower 🌠with @surfnsnowboard and @theisaacgibbs. one location i have always wanted to visit was the radar dome. so glad i was finally able to document this soccer-ball like object under the MW🌌. fun fact, i captured a meteor in this photo but instagram’s crop cut it off because i’d have to sacrifice too much foreground. this was also one of my very first shoots on my new 5DMk4. it was a fun week even though my astronomy tracker kept messing up. who knows, maybe i’ll get around to processing more photos from this adventure. ••

Depictions of two kinds of dust in space: At left the pyramid-shaped glow of Zodiacal Light caused by sunlight reflecting off interplanetary dust in the inner solar system from comets and meteoroids, while at right is the band of the bright Milky Way, made of stars in our galaxy. But along it lie dark lanes of interstellar dust made of carbon compounds made in the atmospheres of stars and dispersed into the Galaxy.
This is from the Quailway Cottage near Portal, Arizona, on December 14, 2017, looking west to the Chiricahua Mountains of southeast Arizona.
The Summer Triangle stars are setting into the west with Deneb at top, while Vega is at right. Altair is lowest at centre.
The sky is a single 30-second exposure, while the ground is a mean combined stack of 8 30-second exposures to smooth noise, all at f/2.5 with the 14mm lens and Canon 6D MkII at ISO 6400. Not tracked â these were part of a 350-frame time-lapse.
On a long journey through space and not returning for another 8000 years or so!
Comet Neowise, viewed from the central southern UK at around 11.30pm, only just visible to the naked eye but viewable through binoculars and thankfully shows up without boosting the ISO too much in camera.
