“Love isn’t something that we invented. It’s observable. Powerful. It has to mean something. Maybe it means something more, something we can’t yet understand. Maybe it’s some evidence, some artifact of a higher dimension that we can’t consciously perceive.
Love is the one thing that we’re capable of perceiving that transcends dimensions of time and space.”
by Brand - Interstellar
More and more as time goes, I feel as though I am developing a style specific to me; a style that combines conceptual ideas, photo manipulation, vivid colors, and storytelling. My inspirations come from all around the Instagram and Flickr communities, books, movies, life events, and more. I couldn't be happier about this, and about the community I'm a part of. Thank you all for being a constant reminder to improve my abilities.
A wide field view of the Lagoon Nebula (M8, Messier 8 or NGC 6523), a giant interstellar cloud in the constellation Sagittarius. The Lagoon Nebula is estimated to be between 4000 - 6000 light-years from Earth in the Milky Way Galaxy, and is classified as an emission nebula.
About Emission nebulae:
Emission nebulae are glowing clouds of interstellar gas which have been excited by some nearby energy source, usually a very hot star. The red light seen in this picture is glowing hydrogen captured in the Hydrogen-Alpha (Hα) Infrared wavelength of light at 656nm.
About this image:
A few short 2 minute ISO 3200 exposures, imaged in the rural dark skies of the Waterberg, Limpopo Province, South Africa.
About the Star Colors:
You will notice that star colors differ from red, orange and yellow, to blue. This is an indication of the temperature of the star's Nuclear Fusion process. This is determined by the size and mass of the star, and the stage of its life cycle. In short, the blue stars are hotter, and the red ones are cooler.

On March 18, NASA’s IMAP (Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe) arrived at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, for thermal vacuum testing at the X-ray and Cryogenic Facility, which simulates the harsh conditions of space.
The IMAP mission is a modern-day celestial cartographer that will map the solar system by studying the heliosphere, a giant bubble created by the Sun’s solar wind that surrounds our solar system and protects it from harmful interstellar radiation.
In this image, the IMAP mission was loaded into NASA Marshall’s XRCF thermal vacuum chamber where the spacecraft will undergo testing.

Does anyone else see startrails in front of the "Gargantua" in this picture? :)
Ofc I know about the lens distortion correction "issue" and all the "obvious mistakes", i was processing this last night (a bit high from my meds - i had an accident on saturday and lost all mobility to my right limb - i have to admit) and did this while laying in bed with my left hand only after it took forever to setup the tripod and the camera, and decided to keep it like this for fun purposes so this is a coposite, an artists depiction if you will - an impression and not a real photograph so consider it accordingly. total expo time for this one was about 820 seconds

Interstellar clouds near Rho Ophiuchi (close to IC 4603).
About this image:
A wide field view of a small section of the beautiful interstellar clouds of dust, gas and plasma around Rho Ophiuchi (close to IC 4603).
About the Interstellar cloud colors:
Fine dust illuminated from the front by starlight produces blue reflection nebulae. The atoms of gaseous clouds that are excited by ultraviolet starlight produce reddish emission nebulae. Back-lit dust clouds block light and appear dark. Antares (a red super-giant star, and one of the brighter stars in the night sky), lights up the yellow-red dust clouds. Rho Ophiuchi lies at the center of the blue nebula. Interstellar clouds are even more colorful than we can see in visible light, emitting light across a large portion of the electromagnetic spectrum.
About the Star Colors:
You will notice that star colors differ from red, orange and yellow, to blue. This is an indication of the temperature of the star's Nuclear Fusion process. This is determined by the size and mass of the star, and the stage of its life cycle. In short, the blue stars are hotter, and the red ones are cooler.

I am very happy to present the second image in which these interstellar shells can be seen at all, and at the same time, it is the first photo to show the shells so clearly thanks to the long exposure time.
Thanks to several clear nights in the fall, I was able to collect nearly 39.5 hours of narrowband data with the RASA at f/2, along with an additional hour of RGB for the stars. The processing was certainly challenging, but I managed to bring out many details in the OIII structures and the surrounding H-alpha clouds.
A few details about the objects in the image:
The bluish filaments in the center are listed in Simbad as “interstellar shells” with the designation GSH 122+02-77. These are not direct supernova remnants but rather part of the interstellar medium (ISM)—low-density material (mostly gas) that exists between stars. Stellar winds and nearby supernovae can interact with this material, forming irregular shells. The neighboring Wolf-Rayet star HD 4004 (WR1) could possibly be responsible, although there are no definitive research results on this yet.
In the upper left, you can see Sh2-181 with a pronounced OIII shell, while Sh2-175, a small emission nebula, is located on the right.

An image of one of the newer tunnels built as a link from a new office complex through to the LT Underground Station at Kings Cross/St Pancras Underground Station.
I'm glad I found it in the end (thanks for the heads up Aaron!!!), I really love the way the lights move along the tunnel, creating a different aspect, this adds to the reflected light.
"Interstellar Overdrive" is a psychedelic instrumental composition written by Pink Floyd in 1966, which appears on their 1967 debut album The Piper at the Gates of Dawn :
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interstellar_Overdrive
f4/1/50th Second/iso100/Nikon D5100/Sigma 10-20mm lens @ 12mm
What I like about being out on a perfect Sonic Clear night with cool temps and no moon is the composition options that become available in otherwise "boring" areas of the parkway. Adding to the perfection was almost total calm making long exposures in leafy areas possible. I drove several miles looking for the perfect area of road to line up with the Milky Way, and it was extremely dark and remote here coming down Apple Orchard Mountain north of the Peaks of Otter. There wasn't another soul out for quite some time so I was able to shoot anywhere in the road without interference.
I don't care much for photographer generated light painting as it almost always tends to look slightly to extremely induced and misplaced. No matter how dark all you basically need is time and the right camera settings, with the ability to layer mask in Photoshop. Here I did over 4 minutes for the road, and probably should have done a little longer. Then 25 seconds for the sky to avoid streaking and put the 2 together.
I think the night sky is to me one of the strongest testimony to God's existence. Here I am driving down a little country byway and looking off into millions of light years of distance, places that we can only imagine and will never reach in our human form. Many of these light beams originated from stars billions of years burned out but still reaching us, and many more from stars born billions of years ago that have yet to make it. There is a lot more out there than we can even imagine. It certainly did not simply make itself at some point.
A collection of some of the finest SHIPs in the galaxy! Well, one did catch fire and explode, but before that it was pretty fine.
Happy SHIPtember!
