I bought this 'housing complex' for the Blink Posse some time in the last six months. I am ashamed to say that in that time I have done nothing besides put it together.
Think of this as the BEFORE picture.
Please don't make me feel more shamed than I already am about the Posse's living conditions. I have great plans for this place and lots of ideas. I just need TIME!!!
I am only posting this picture because Gretchen convinced me to take it. (The light in here is lousy for photos but excellent for storing dolls). I am only making the photo public because MissS talked me into it.
The arrangement of the spiral arms in the galaxy Messier 63, seen here in an image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, recall the pattern at the center of a sunflower. So the nickname for this cosmic object — the Sunflower Galaxy — is no coincidence.
Discovered by Pierre Mechain in 1779, the galaxy later made it as the 63rd entry into fellow French astronomer Charles Messier’s famous catalogue, published in 1781. The two astronomers spotted the Sunflower Galaxy’s glow in the small, northern constellation Canes Venatici (the Hunting Dogs). We now know this galaxy is about 27 million light-years away and belongs to the M51 Group — a group of galaxies, named after its brightest member, Messier 51, another spiral-shaped galaxy dubbed the Whirlpool Galaxy.
Galactic arms, sunflowers and whirlpools are only a few examples of nature’s apparent preference for spirals. For galaxies like Messier 63 the winding arms shine bright because of the presence of recently formed, blue–white giant stars and clusters, readily seen in this Hubble image.

Messier 20 - 21 (English Below)
Região rica em nebulosidade de emissão, Trífida significa dividida em três lóbulos, logo podemos entender o motivo para esse nome.
Descoberta por Charles Messier em 1764 essa nebulosa combina praticamente todos os tipos de nebulosidade de objetos de céu profundo.
A parte vermelha é a nebulosa de emissão, a parte azul é uma nebulosa de reflexão, a parte escura no centro da nebulosa principal que apresenta o formato Trifurcado é uma nebulosa escura (Bernard 85), além de um aglomerado estelar aberto, no centro da nebulosa. (não confundir com Messier 21 que está no mesmo campo dessa imagem.)
Encontra-se a aproximadamente 5200 anos-luz de distância da terra e encontrasse na constelação de Sagitarius, próxima ao centro galáctico.
Devido a limitação dos equipamentos amadores, é muito difícil capturar alguns detalhes que as vezes acabam passando desapercebidos nas nossas imagens, porém, nessa captura eu consegui o êxito de capturar as duas “anteninhas” no centro da nebulosa. Esse objeto em forma de dois “dedos” são pilares de poeira e gás que podem formar novas estrelas. Cada um desses pilares possui cerca de três quartos de ano-luz e está sendo corroído pela ação da radiação da estrela massiva que os circunda. Outro fato interessante, é que esses pilares foram descoberto apenas em 1999 quando o telescópio espacial Hubble fotografou esse objeto.
No topo esquerdo da imagem se encontra o aglomerado estelar aberto Messier 21 que tem cerca de 4,6 milhões de anos de idade e encontrasse a cerca de 4250 anos-luz da Terra.
Messier 20 - 21
Region rich in emission cloudiness, Trifid means divided into three lobes, so we can understand the reason for this name.
Discovered by Charles Messier in 1764 this nebula combines virtually all types of deep-sky object cloudiness.
The red part is the emission nebula, the blue part is a reflection nebula, the dark part in the center of the main Nebula that has the Trifurcated shape is a dark nebula (Bernard 85), and an open star cluster in the center of the Nebula. (Do not confuse with Messier 21 which is in the same field as this image.)
It is approximately 5200 light years away from the earth and found in the constellation Sagitarius near the galactic center.
Due to the limitation of amateur equipment, it is very difficult to capture some details that sometimes go unnoticed in our images, but in this capture I succeeded in capturing the two "antennas" in the center of the nebula. This two-fingered object is a pillar of dust and gas that can form new stars. Each of these pillars is about three-quarters of a light-year old and is being eroded by the radiation of the massive star surrounding them. Another interesting fact is that these pillars were discovered only in 1999 when the Hubble Space Telescope photographed this object.
At the top left of the image is the open star cluster Messier 21, which is about 4.6 million years old and about 4250 light-years from Earth.

We've seen the evidence of the squirrels eating the 'hedge apple' fruits but here's on being eaten. The center seems to be the delicacy and the outer strands are discarded. This year has produced a bumper crop of 'hedge apples,' so they should be happy. Unlike nuts, the Osage orange fruit don't store well.

On March 25, I photographed Messier 106, a spiral galaxy about 23.7 million light-years away in Canes Venatici. This was my first successful single-galaxy capture of the season, confirming the precise collimation of my Vixen VC200L astrograph.
Using a Canon EOS R(a) at ISO 1600, I took 40 exposures (300s each) on March 5 from Koblenz, Germany, with calibration frames applied. The final image revealed numerous background galaxies, including NGC 4231, NGC 4232, and NGC 4248, highlighting the vastness of the cosmos.

M27 / NGC 6853 is a planetary nebula in Vulpecula, at a distance of about 1,360 light years. The central star, a pre-white dwarf, is estimated to have a radius which is 0.055±0.02 R☉ which gives it a size larger than any other known white dwarf. The central star mass was estimated in 1999 by Napiwotzki to be 0.56±0.01 M☉.
This object was the first planetary nebula to be discovered by Charles Messier in 1764. it is easily visible in binoculars and small telescopes.

__________________________
In astronomy, the Pleiades (/ˈplaɪ.ədiːz/ or /ˈpliː.ədiːz/), or Seven Sisters (Messier 45 or M45), is an open star cluster containing middle-aged hot B-type stars located in the constellation of Taurus. It is among the nearest star clusters to Earth and is the cluster most obvious to the naked eye in the night sky. The celestial entity has several meanings in different cultures and traditions.
The cluster is dominated by hot blue and extremely luminous stars that have formed within the last 100 million years. Dust that forms a faint reflection nebulosity around the brightest stars was thought at first to be left over from the formation of the cluster (hence the alternative name Maia Nebula after the star Maia), but is now known to be an unrelated dust cloud in the interstellar medium, through which the stars are currently passing. Computer simulations have shown that the Pleiades was probably formed from a compact configuration that resembled the Orion Nebula.[7] Astronomers estimate that the cluster will survive for about another 250 million years, after which it will disperse due to gravitational interactions with its galactic neighborhood.[8]

Nooo! That's just how I look after days of motorcycle riding!:)
I was trying to get some rest by watching the endless sea and letting myself be caressed by the wind.
This and several other photographs from that spot are very important for me, because my love used a digital camera for the very first time. If you had known how he refuses to use anything digital and his arguments for his refusal, you'd understand why I was immensely surprised when I saw him shooting me with my DSLR!

The gas-rich low-mass dwarf spiral galaxy Triangulum (Messier 33) at 3 million light-years. It is catalogued also as NGC 598 and known as Triangulum Galaxy. The galaxy is the smallest spiral galaxy in the Local Group and it is believed to be a big satellite of the Andromeda Galaxy.
M33 has two asymmetric faint arms, and an interstellar medium rich in gaseous filaments that extends for about 7 kpc. Although the inner disk is relatively undisturbed, the northern arm is less regular in shape than the southern one. M33, is a bulge-free galaxy with only two optically luminous dwarf galaxies believed to be its satellites: AndXXII (McConnachie et al., 2009; Martin et al., 2016) and Pisces VII (Martínez-Delgado et al. 2022; MLM Collins et al. 2024) discovered by me in 2020. The possible discovery of a third satellite called Triangulum IV was recently announced, but its nature is still uncertain (Ogami et al. 2024). However, given its mass, ΛCDM cosmological simulations predict that M33 should host a larger number of satellites, at least 10.
The neutral hydrogen (HI) disk is three times larger than the star-forming disk and is clearly warped. The outer disk has the same inclination as the inner one with respect to our line of sight but the position angle of the major axis changes by about 30 degrees compared to the inner disk and is more aligned with the M31 direction. While M33's undisturbed inner disk indicates that no major collisions between M31 and M33 or between M33 and a satellite have occurred in the past, the distortion could be the result of a flyby about 9 billion years ago. Timing assessments make this scenario unlikely and favor the hypothesis of a first fall of M33 in the region of influence of M31.
Messier 27, NGC 6853 – Dumbbell Nebula
The first planetary nebula ever discovered, discovered by Charles Messier in 1764. Names a “Planetary Nebula” by William Herschel for this class of objects around 1784, because he found they resembled his newly discovered planet Uranus.
M 27 is an impressive object, the second brightest planetary nebula, with an impressive amount of detail. The central star is just visible at mag 13.5 The distance is not well known and an adopted value of 12000 LY is generally accepted, the nebula is about 100 times the luminosity of our sun.
The central star is the collapsed core of a once sun like star, now a white dwarf, it now emits most of its energy in the non visible spectrum, the hi energy radiation from the whit dwarf is the power behind the visible nebula, the nebula absorbs the hi energy ultra violet and re-emits it as visible light.
The central star is 60% of our suns mass and only 5% of its diameter, making it the larges white dwarf known, most of the light emitted from the nebula is at one wavelength, that of doubly ionized oxygen, this accounts for the greenish/ turquoise colour.

Canon 1DXII, F7.1, 1/2000, ISO 1250
Discovered in 1718, Messier 106 (NGC 4258) is a large spiral galaxy found 24 million light years distant toward the constellation Canes Venatici. Visual magnitude is 8.4 and apparent size is 18’.
This active galaxy holds a super-massive black hole at its center. The black hole powers energetic emissions at essentially all observed wavelengths. Of particular interest is the pair of luminous jets seen flowing from the center at 8:00 and 2:00 in this image. The former appears particularly focused. These jets which are reveled here in light of excited hydrogen represent hot gas ejected from the black hole’s accretion disk which then collides with the cooler gas in the galaxy’s disk and halo. This process creates the appearance of four spiral arms, but only two contain star clouds. The other two being the gas jets. A smaller companion galaxy, NGC 4248 is seen at right.
This image was captured under high desert skies near Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA with a telescope of 12" aperture at f/8 and an electrically-cooled CCD camera. Total exposure was 11 hours (HaLRGB).

it was definitely a messy day when had jet lag after long time fly.
I was very untidy in appearance and looked ugly bcuz I had a serious cold at that time.
but never mind! I was still shooting everywhere.
hullo there! cheer up and never stop bring your cameras everywhere!!
(↑especially to my mate AraiGordai, he just lost his laptop...)
I don't know what s up with my Stop Shot Module.....its not behaving. I cannot for the life of me get it to do what i want it to do.........the timings that i have written down over the months don't seem to work.......this is the outcome......messy but i like it.
