Explanation: Interstellar dust clouds and bright nebulae abound in the fertile constellation of Orion. One of the brightest, M78, on center in this colorful telescopic view, covering an area north of Orion's belt. At a distance of about 1,500 light-years, the bluish nebula itself is about 5 light-years across. Its blue tint is due to dust preferentially reflecting the blue light of hot, young stars in the region. Dark dust lanes and other nebulae can easily be traced through this gorgeous skyscape. The scene also includes the remarkable McNeil's Nebula -- a newly recognized nebula associated with the formation of a sun-like star, and the telltale reddish glow of many Herbig- Haro objects, energetic jets from stars in the process of formation.

Dust Cloud 183 (top left) was first cataloged by Dr. Lynds in 1962 (1) and has recently been calculated to be 105 parsecs away (2). It is part of a complex of cold, dense, and starless dust and molecular clouds which also includes LDN 134 (lower right).
I wanted to frame the photo in a different way and found that it looked quite dramatic flipped into portrait mode. Frames were taken south of Grafton in a Bortle 4 location by Lake Ontario.

Another bit of abstract photography for today, The Kings Cross light tunnel is a fantastic spot for photography, and as it looks so futuristic you can turn it into something very space aged with a little bit of Photoshop knowledge.
I've seen this shot a couple of times done by various people so I decided to have a little play in Photoshop and do my own version. For those with PS knowledge it's easy to do, but basically, all I had to do was load two versions of the same image with one of them flipped the other way, then I added a layer mask and painted over one half of the image to get the mirrored effect. It really does look like some interior of a sci-fi spaceship don't you think?
For me, this was just a bit of fun and as I'm still learning the mysteries of Photoshop it's a good way to learn and test my knowledge.

The Cocoon Nebula IC5146
It’s been a few years since I photographed the Cocoon Nebula close up. This time I’m using the new APS-H size QHY16200A/QHYOAG-M together with my AT12RC w/AP2.7 reducer @ F6.2 giving me 1867mm Focal Length. This is only 4 x 10 min exposures each channel LRGB and I’m pleasantly surprised to be getting round stars from corner to corner using the big chip QHY16200 especially with the AP Reducer.
Something I never noticed before when I have captured this object in the top right hand corner are 3 very distant galaxies.

The Cocoon Nebula is both a reflection nebula and an emission nebula. Located 4,000 light-years away near the constellation Cygnus, the swan. The central star which powers the glowing hydrogen was born just 100,000 years ago, a stellar infant, and will continue to carve out the inner regions of the nebula as its stellar winds blow.
Unmistakable in this image is the reflection nebula which extends away like a tail. Consisting of mostly dusty interstellar material dense enough that it blocks the starlight from behind.
Objects like The Cocoon Nebula are very common, many completely unknown because the molecular cloud hasn't yet birthed a star. Without an ionization source, the cloud of gas and dust will remain dark and will go largely unnoticed.
This is a re-process of my original RGB photo from May 2024. An additional 1 hour of luminance subframes was added to the original image stack. Thsi helped to bring out the details of the molecular cloud and trails of dust.

I know what you're thinking... I thought you said you were done with all these oil and water images. Yes, I did say that, but I couldn't seem to help myself. I decided to work on one more image for this series, and figured why not share this one as well before putting a wrap to the set.
This particular o&w macro was a rather simple design as far as the actual bubble pattern was concerned... It was just a few circles without many bubbles surrounding them. What made it more interesting was a change I made to the oil and water formula for the bubbles. I took the dish detergent out as a component in the mixture. Doing so created a cleaner and smoother overall look to the bubbles.
During image processing, the bubbles began to take on an other worldly feel to them... They seemed to me like something you'd find somewhere out in deep space. I decided to go with that vibe, and took the processing in a more sci-fi -ish direction. I continued by mixing in a few textures, and blending in a few vector patterns to come up with the abstract seen here. Hopefully it'll come across in the final image in that way as well.
Ok, now it's really time to move on to something else... Hopefully I can truly stay away from that oil and water folder -- at least for a little while! ;)

The dream just goes on and on, upwards and onwards
such interstice between subconscious lovebirds
and the sky becomes the sea of interspersion
here, there and everywhere is the dreamlike vision
the linguistic ability of silence is immeasurable
for no words may touch the deeper initial uncial
which flows for the earliest manuscript of mind
the unanimous passing of the 'said and done' refined,
a signing away of time should remain unwritten
for it's understanding is little understood even as fiction
let us be still, as the passers-by slowly become torpid
too...our planet restores a sense of things well founded
ingrained in each is the purpose from momentary stillness
the lifeblood hails from it's instilling a grounding so ageless
each step is a motionless movement in the silent sweep
of heavenly, proverbial reverence only seen in deepest sleep
come back! states the life beyond the gravity of today's depravity
hail the override of journey's founding destiny from a lifestyle departure
on track without targets, this is definitely a line without deadlines!
the way of fools is an age away from our own wholly natural designs
a mission of saviour; devout faith in the Earth and the beauty beyond
this the belief that truly counts upon unity of mind when purity has dawned
upon us all, in glowing Gleichheit peace is the envoy flying ever deeper
into the vortex of hope, tantalising with facilitation the celestial sleeper
in us all, that place seems dark by roving day, yet starry in the solace of closed eyes
keeping in mind the lesson of day taught by night where answers may arise
to some disbelieving eyes the planet is blackened with social failing
yet a distant stance from parliamentary trash is a cleansing of spirit prevailing
never downtrodden is the depth of a Soul that encounters itself and unites
within oneself, the understanding of others, and beyond wherever we set our sights.

The first anniversary image from the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope displays star birth like it’s never been seen before, full of detailed, impressionistic texture. The subject is the Rho Ophiuchi cloud complex, the closest star-forming region to Earth. It is a relatively small, quiet stellar nursery, but you’d never know it from Webb’s chaotic close-up. Jets bursting from young stars crisscross the image, impacting the surrounding interstellar gas and lighting up molecular hydrogen, shown in red. Some stars display the telltale shadow of a circumstellar disc, the makings of future planetary systems.
The young stars at the centre of many of these discs are similar in mass to the Sun or smaller. The heftiest in this image is the star S1, which appears amid a glowing cave it is carving out with its stellar winds in the lower half of the image. The lighter-coloured gas surrounding S1 consists of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, a family of carbon-based molecules that are among the most common compounds found in space.
[Image description: Red dual opposing jets coming from young stars fill the darker top half of the image, while a glowing pale-yellow, cave-like structure is bottom centre, tilted toward two o’clock, with a bright star at its centre. The dust of the cave structure becomes wispy toward eight o’clock. Above the arched top of the dust cave three groupings of stars with diffraction spikes are arranged. A dark cloud sits at the top of the arch of the glowing dust cave, with one streamer curling down the right-hand side. The dark shadow of the cloud appears pinched in the centre, with light emerging in a triangle shape above and below the pinch, revealing the presence of a star inside the dark cloud. The image’s largest jets of red material emanate from within this dark cloud, thick and displaying structure like the rough face of a cliff, glowing brighter at the edges. At the top centre of the image, a star displays another, larger pinched dark shadow, this time vertically. To the left of this star is a more wispy, indistinct region.]

Hormuz Island, Hormozgān Province - Persian Gulf, Iran
© Vafa Nematzadeh. All rights reserved. Thank you very much for your visits, faves and comments here.
Hormuz Island is an Iranian island in the Persian Gulf. Located in the Strait of Hormuz, 5 miles off the Iranian coast, the island is part of Hormozgān Province.
Based on the studies geology, Hormuz island was born in 600 million years ago and also about 50 thousand years ago coming out of the water.
Hormuz Island has an area of 42 km2 (16 sq mi). It is covered by sedimentary rock and layers of volcanic material on its surface. The highest point of the island is about 186 metres (610 ft) above sea level. Due to a lack of precipitation, the soil and water are salty. Specialists have helped cultivar white mangrove or Hara trees to grow in the climate. There are many virgin beaches that go all around the island.
Every moment travel on Hormuz island is like traveling on another planet and every 5 minutes hiking on the island, scenery and colors quickly changes! The island of Hormuz is where the warm waters of the Persian Gulf meet the red and silver sand of the island and create a marvelous combination of colors. Therefore Hormuz an island that can be called the "Rainbow Island".
You can see a part of the amazing "Valley of the Statues" and the "Strait of Hormuz" in Persian Gulf of this photo.
About ..Valley of the Statues:
This stunningly beautiful natural site is called "Valley of the Statues" because here tall rocks have been sculpted into strange shapes by the elements. With a bit of imagination you can see a dragon, birds and mythical creatures. The site is located on a bluff that affords fantastic vistas of the coastline.

We've always defined ourselves by the ability to overcome the impossible. And we count these moments. These moments when we dare to aim higher, to break barriers, to reach for the stars, to make the unknown known. We count these moments as our proudest achievements. But we lost all that. Or perhaps we've just forgotten that we are still pioneers. And we've barely begun. And that our greatest accomplishments cannot be behind us, because our destiny lies above us.

An illustration of ‘Oumuamua, the first object we’ve ever seen pass through our own solar system that has interstellar origins.
In October, a mysterious object zipped through our solar system at 196,000 mph. Scientists named it ‘Oumuamua, which means “a messenger from afar arriving first” in Hawaiian, and it’s the first object we’ve ever seen that entered from outside our solar system. Now our astrophysicists have helped calculate how it fits into what we know about how planetary systems form.
“This object was likely ejected from a distant star system,” said Elisa Quintana, an astrophysicist at Goddard. “What’s interesting is that just this one object flying by so quickly can help us constrain some of our planet formation models.”
On Sept. 19, ‘Oumuamua sped past the Sun at about 196,000 mph (315,400 km/h), fast enough to escape the Sun’s gravitational pull and break free of the solar system, never to return. Usually, an object traveling at a similar speed would be a comet falling sunward from the outer solar system. Comets are icy objects that range between house-sized to many miles across. But they usually shed gas and dust as they approach the Sun and warm up. ‘Oumuamua didn’t. Some scientists interpreted this to mean that ‘Oumuamua was a dry asteroid.
