It's windy here today so it was a bit hard to take photos that didn't look too shaky 😊😂
This is Orion - my fav constallation
Colour flashed Orion Nebula (M42)
Today I show you my interpretation from the Orion Nebula. I have here so many version with different colours and I got lost now. Maybe to much colours or wrong colours but I like it this way. Maybe just this morning 😂😂😂
The Orion Nebula (also known as Messier 42, M42, or NGC 1976) is a diffuse nebula in the Milky Way situated south of Orion's Belt in the constellation of Orion, and is known as the middle "star" in the "sword" of Orion. It is one of the brightest nebulae and is visible to the naked eye in the night sky with an apparent magnitude of 4.0. It is 1,344 ± 20 light-years (412.1 ± 6.1 pc) away and is the closest region of massive star formation to Earth. M42 is estimated to be 25 light-years across (so its apparent size from Earth is approximately 1 degree). It has a mass of about 2,000 times that of the Sun. Older texts frequently refer to the Orion Nebula as the Great Nebula in Orion or the Great Orion Nebula.
The Orion Nebula is one of the most scrutinized and photographed objects in the night sky and is among the most intensely studied celestial features.[8] The nebula has revealed much about the process of how stars and planetary systems are formed from collapsing clouds of gas and dust. Astronomers have directly observed protoplanetary disks and brown dwarfs within the nebula, intense and turbulent motions of the gas, and the photo-ionizing effects of massive nearby stars in the nebula.

I love when the constellation Orion starts appearing in the night sky, because it's a sign that Autumn and cooler weather is just around the corner!!
Orion, by John White
My favorite constellation is Orion.
I like it first and foremost
because on a cold clear winter night
it is easy to find in the sky.
On a very special night,
far from the cities and stress
you can actually see the Great Orion Nebula
a cloud of interstellar gases where stars are actually born.
With each thought we share,
each story, picture and sound,
we see a little more of each other.
I'm certain if we keep looking,
on a very special night,
far from our daily lives,
we will discover the universe together.

F9As 4210 and 4211 sandwich three B-units as the 0700 loads near the dock at Taconite Harbor in 1999. The coal in the distance is for the power plant located at the dock.
It was clear when I went out to take some astrophotos and the weather forecast was for a clear sky but when I got to my location the only part of the sky without cloud was around orion, so here it is.
I have been waiting for the perfect conditions to take my first deep-space image of the Orion Nebula, and when it happened, the timing overlapped with the Geminid Meteor Shower. The odds of capturing a meteor in the shot are rare, but what was truly shocking was watching a non-geminid meteor (orange streak) that was a brighter fireball and it broke up right on the edge of my shot. Amazing experience to see and capture.
I was standing with another skywatcher at the time the brighter one broke into 2 pieces as it burned up in the atmosphere. As soon as it happened he said, "That is where you are shooting!" I just responded with, "I am too scared to see if I actually got it." When I finally got the nerve, I was absolutely stunned.
Image taken at Lake Hudson Recreational Area in Lenawee County Michigan. The Geminid Meteor was at 10:40pm on December 13th, the non-Geminid meteor was at 11:29pm. I was shooting the Orion Nebula from about 10:30pm till midnight.

I took about 80 photos at El Teide in Tenerife and stacked them with DeepSkyStacker Software. Each photo was taken with a capture time of 1 sec., iso 16000, 400mm and F5,6.

I have been waiting and waiting since November to have a clear night with no wind or moonlight on a weekend. Finally, I got my chance in late March, and it was my last shot until next November as Orion will start to fade below the horizon in April.
Orion is one of my favorite deep space objects to photograph, but the bright core makes it a challenge to capture well. I really like how this turned out!

My second attempt at processing through Pixinsight. Would love any comments on how to improve!!
Tried to pull back the over exposed core.

Here's the moon with the Orion Constellation just above. In the distance across lake Ontario is Buffalo.
Hope you enjoyed this series.
EN: Ore train 9174 of Northland Ressources, hauled by three GreenCargo Rm locos, makes its way along lake Torneträsk, seen between the stations of Kaisepakte and Stordalen. In 2014 these Northland trains made their traffic additionally to the well known LKAB trains. But Northland Ressources stopped production, when the price of ore decreased during 2014.
DE: Erzzug 9174 der Firma Northland Ressources rollt gezogen von drei GreenCargo Rm Loks zwischen den Stationen Kaisepakte und Stordalen am Torneträsk entlang. Im Jahr 2014 gab es diesen Northland Verkehr zusätzlich zu den bekannten LKAB Erzzügen. Allerdings wurde die Produktion noch 2014 wegen des gefallenen Erzpreises wieder eingestellt.
Orion is clearly visible in the night sky from November to February.
The Orion Nebula - a formation of dust, hydrogen, helium and other ionized gases rather than a star - is the middle "star" in Orion's sword, which hangs off of Orion's Belt.
Other stars in the constellation include Mintaka, Alnilam and Alnitak which form Orion's belt, are the most prominent stars in the Orion constellation.
The Blue-white star Rigel, in the constellation Orion, is one of the brightest stars in the night sky.
Early in the afternoon I received the iOptron SkyGuider Pro and could not wait to try it out.
In the evening, as I was taking pictures of the Orion Constellation, the clouds started to move in adding a pink tone to the blue sky.
Thank you for your comments,
Gemma
Old Ore Bucket
Behind framed by the Wooden boards is a down shaft. The Eagle is about 400 feet deep and the shaft the photo was taken about half way. The down shaft has a drop od about 200 more feet, meeting up with more horizontal shafts as it extends downward. The miners would actually ride the bucket down or up to access some of these tunnels

NGC 1973, NGC 1975, NGC 1977, Sh2-279
Located between the Perseus and Sagittarius arms of our galaxy, is the Orion spur . This minor arm is home to our solar system, and named for its most prominent constellation, Orion. Although the sword asterism appears as a line of 3 stars, below Orion's belt, it actually contains a massive molecular cloud where new stars are being born. At approx. 30-40 light years in diameter, its far from being the largest in our galaxy; however, it's close proximity (1.3k ly) makes it the brightest in the northern hemisphere.

A pair of CEFX AC4400's have a train of loaded ore cars under control as they head back to the yard.
Throwback to 3 years ago on a cold November evening, BLE SD40-3 900 and 2 sisters power a SB ore load as it passes along the Sax-Zim Bog as the sun sets. The EMDs still had 2 years left at this point before the rebuilds arrived, and BLE 900 is now running locals in Wisconsin (11/22/2022)
A loaded ore train from UTAC arrives in the A yard at Proctor while a Minntac empty prepares to depart. In the upper right an empty from Dock 6 is arriving. This is the busy ore season in Proctor when winter stockpiling of some Minntac production occurs at Duluth versus Two Harbors.
A shot of the Orion nebula taken with my old Canon 6D and a basic 200mm prime lens. I was lucky to live in a country town in Victoria near some very dark sky sites, but this was just taken from my back garden.
Tripod mounted. I had to crank up the ISO as I couldn't go much more than 4 seconds on the exposure time due to star trails being an issue. These days, there is all sorts of wonderful image stacking software to get around this, but I was pleased to get this from a basic set up and a single exposure.
