On the Ruinenberg in Potsdam, the deliberately leaning column is also an imitation to integrate antique design elements with artificial ruins. It should only look like this ....
The Lagoon nebula (M8) and Trifid nebula (M20) are both framed together in this image.
Photo was taken through my Stellarvue SV102ED2 using a Canon EOS Ra camera. It is a stack of multiple exposures from 30 sec to 5 min, and ranging from ISO 800-12,800. Total integration time is 1 hour. Pre and post-processing was done in Pixinsight.
Happy Every Day is Stairs Day!
Photo taken in Liverpool Street Railway station, London
Opened in 1874 as a replacement for Bishopsgate station, London Liverpool Street station was designed to integrate with the growing London Underground network. As Britain’s busiest station, it serves around 80 million passengers every year, providing the starting point for journeys to Cambridgeshire, Essex, Greater London, Hertfordshire, Norfolk and Suffolk.
One of four railway stations on the British version of Monopoly, Liverpool Street is a stone’s throw away from iconic London attractions like Exchange Square, Old Spitalfields Market, Sky Garden, Brick Lane and the Tower of London. In addition, the station itself has two memorials to the Kindertransport rescue mission and is home to the Great Eastern Railway war memorial.
Thank you my friend Jeroen for a great link

I like anything that is like an obstruction, something that I have to act through is good. -- Peter Sarsgaard
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.
Barnard 174 (B174 / LDN 1164) in Cepheus — the “Beep Beep Nebula.”
That black shape isn’t empty space. It’s a foreground dust cloud thick enough to blot out the background Milky Way and the faint red hydrogen glow behind it. Distance estimates vary, but it’s likely ~1,300–2,450 light-years away.

First light for the new 5" refractor. Spiral Galaxy NGC 2403 in Ha light. Patches in the galaxy are nebula star forming regions. Needs more integration time to improve the Signal to Noise.
I could not hold myself back to get my gear out, despite the presence of the moon. I can only imagine, how this image would look like without any lightpollution from the moon.
The first images looked quite interesting with the small nebula. After stacking, there is quite some faint stuff around it, that slowly starts to show.

Fenway Park is a baseball stadium located in Boston, Massachusetts, less than one mile from Kenmore Square. Since 1912, it has been the ballpark of Major League Baseball's (MLB) Boston Red Sox. While the stadium was built in 1912, it was substantially rebuilt in 1934, and underwent major renovations and modifications in the 21st century. It is the oldest active ballpark in MLB. Because of its age and constrained location in Boston's dense Fenway–Kenmore neighborhood, the park has many quirky features, including "The Triangle", Pesky's Pole, and the Green Monster in left field. It is the fifth-smallest among MLB ballparks by seating capacity, second-smallest by total capacity, and one of nine that cannot accommodate at least 40,000 spectators.
Fenway has hosted the World Series 11 times, with the Red Sox winning six of them and the Boston Braves winning one. Besides baseball games, it has also been the site of many other sporting and cultural events including professional football games for the Boston Redskins, Boston Yanks, and the Boston Patriots; concerts; soccer and hockey games (such as the 2010 NHL Winter Classic); and political and religious campaigns.
On March 7, 2012 (Fenway's centennial year), the park was added to the National Register of Historic Places. It is a landmark at the end of the Boston Irish heritage trail. Former pitcher Bill Lee has called Fenway Park "a shrine". It is a pending Boston Landmark, which will regulate any further changes to the park. The ballpark is considered to be one of the most well-known sports venues in the world and a symbol of Boston.
In 1911, while the Red Sox were still playing on Huntington Avenue Grounds, owner John I. Taylor purchased the land bordered by Brookline Avenue, Jersey Street, Van Ness Street and Lansdowne Street and developed it into a larger baseball stadium known as Fenway Park. Taylor claimed the name Fenway Park came from its location in the Fenway neighborhood of Boston, which was partially created late in the nineteenth century by filling in marshland or "fens", to create the Back Bay Fens urban park. However, given that Taylor's family also owned the Fenway Realty Company, the promotional value of the naming at the time has been cited as well.
Like many classic ballparks, Fenway Park was constructed on an asymmetrical block, with consequent asymmetry in its field dimensions. The park was designed by architect James E. McLaughlin, and the General Contractor was the Charles Logue Building Company.
The first game was played April 20, 1912, with mayor John F. Fitzgerald throwing out the first pitch and Boston defeating the New York Highlanders, 7–6 in 11 innings. Newspaper coverage of the opening was overshadowed by continuing coverage of the Titanic sinking five days earlier.
In June 1919, a rally supporting Irish Independence turned out nearly 50,000 supporters to see the President of the Irish Republic, Éamon de Valera, and was allegedly the largest crowd ever in the ballpark.
The park's address was originally 24 Jersey Street. In 1977, the section of Jersey Street nearest the park was renamed Yawkey Way in honor of longtime Red Sox owner Tom Yawkey, and the park's address was 4 Yawkey Way until 2018, when the street's name was reverted to Jersey Street in light of current Red Sox ownership distancing itself from Mr. Yawkey due to his history of racism (the Red Sox were the last team in Major League Baseball to integrate). The address is now 4 Jersey Street.

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.

One of the closest globular cluster to Earth, NGC 6397, sits in the constellation Ara. Due to the cluster distance from Earth, it has been heavily studied and has been used to estimate the age of our galaxy and the smallest star capable of nuclear fusion.

This nebula is rightly named the Dark Shark nebula. This was my third try at capturing this one, with the first two not worth completing the processing. The nebula is both a dark and reflection nebula in the constellation Cepheus approximately 650 light-years away. The shark spans approximately 15 light-years head-to-tail.
