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

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.

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.
This gives an indication of the lack of clear sky this season. The total that I got over the whole season was 1hour 57 minutes. With ED80 field flattener Canon 600D and CLS clip filter. HEQ5 mount no guiding.
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.
Toldin's Hunter's Moon (aka "Orion"), my family's nine year old Vizsla, has gone to sporting dog heaven.
Late in December, Orion offered a few hints that he might be in trouble. So after about a week of playing 'stump the veterinarian', yesterday he was diagnosed (via CT scan) with generalized small intestinal lymphoma, a rare and incurable form of cancer.
Orion's time with us was too short. We re-homed him into our lives in July 2014, after Magz, our first Vizsla, died. Orion's prior owners dual trained him for show and upland bird hunting. He was well socialized and quick to learn. His AKC "Junior Hunter" designation was earned on the first try.
Around our neighborhood, Orion always walked with the signature Vizsla prance-like spring in his feet. It was rare for a day to go by without our getting a compliment on his elegance and style.
In the field, he loved to hunt. Unfortunately, loss of local habitat makes finding suitable places to hunt birds very difficult. Instead, Michael turned to using Orion's innate passion to 'search and find' to help him discover subjects in nature to photograph.
As Michael's "butterfly buddy", Orion's job was to putter around in meadow grasses and flush butterflies. Michael watched where they would land then move into position and take the shot. Working as a team, we had great success and our game was more than a ton of fun.
At home, his special "pet" job, like Magz before him, involved fetching the morning newspaper off our driveway and returning it 'to hand'... All much to the delight of our neighborhood kids at their school bus stop. He learned this trick in two days and everyone eagerly looked forward to him jumping to perform.
Orion loved "dog people", children and other dogs. His favorite people trick was to push against their legs, then sit on their feet. For dogs, he was an expert at delivering the surprise "Vizsla Bump" during run and play.
Orion was a great breed ambassador. His light will be deeply missed.
Peace...

Not a great shot, still much to learn. Only 25 minutes of exposure. Taken in South San Jose, CA. Plenty of light polution.

A Frame of 2 sentinel Trees around the constellation of Oriion.
Orion and Taurus between the Frozen Trees of the Finnish Forests.
Orion Nebula 29m 51 frames ISO1600 ISO800. I managed to clean up more of the grain/noise on this one, but was unable to reveal the Trapezium, in the core.
Not had a clear sky for 2 or 3 weeks now, or the moon was in the way, still clouded out. Hoping to get more data to add to this image and others as well soon, as the moon will be out of the way next week.
With ROG 57310 and 57312 having done the honours before Christmas, the was the first appearance of a 37 on the Anglo-Scottish Orion working, with 37884 Cepheus dragging 768001 and 319373 south through Atherstone with 3Q41 Shieldmuir Mail Terminal to Willesden PRDC.
The Milky Way "core" season is over until next spring, but that does not mean that there is nothing to be seen in the skies.
This image of the Winter Milky Way was taken while flying over Poland at 37'000 ft and shows the winter constellation Orion rising on the western horizon.
Higher in the sky is Taurus with the open star clusters Hyades and Pleiades.
The red nebula at the upper edge of the frame is called California Nebula.
The Pleiades / California Nebula pair can also bee seen in one of my ground based image: flic.kr/p/BJHR9v

Thanks for all your thoughts and faves. They are highly appreciated.
During my mid 80s visit to Arizona we paid the San Manual Arizona Railroad a visit. During this time they were still running ore with I believe an Alco RS-3. Painted in an orange color it looked pretty good in the Arizona Desert.
Another lockdown! fortunately this is something I can do from my back garden. My first attempt at the Orion Nebula which is now becoming visible above my roof

I spent a few days deep in the mountains and was smart enough to take my astro gear with me. I was rewarded with a few shots of the Orion region in the freezing cold (I lost my entire battery capacity within minutes) and near perfect light conditions...
Orion Nebula photographed from my back yard Bortle 5. Managed to get 26 X 45-sec frames last night before the rain ended it, ISO 200, f4, canon 300 on 60d Astro modified on a Star Adventurer. edited in Photoshop and Camera Raw Stacked in Deep Sky Stacker
As the sun went down over Los Roques on Tenerife the stars came out very quickly. Here a second exposure has been combined to show off the constellation of Orion in the night sky of Tenerife.

With an ED127mm refractor at f/9 (1140mm).
Cross stack: 600s @ 3200 ISO with a UHC filter + 300s @ 400 ISO full band. One iteration of the Richardson–Lucy algorithm was applied to the stack image. Final editing with Luminar 4.
The constellation of Orion dominates the night sky above the frozen peaks of the Rutor massif, Aosta Valley (Italy).
Looking towards the Planaval Pass (3,010 m) we can recognize the Flambeau peak (3,315 m), the Doravidi and the Chateau Blanc (3,408 m).

Laying just outside the Death Valley park boundary, up a long backcountry road, you'll find this ore bin. While the ore buckets are no longer there, the cable that moved them up and down from the mine still is. We followed a slight path - and often no path at all - up to the mine and explored it.
We are revisiting my trips to Death Valley, starting in 2003, and posting one photo a day from each trip, in anticipation of my upcoming trip next month.
Jackies beach on a very cold night. Looking to Orion this is photos focus stacked. If you look to Orion's nebula and follow it downwards you can see a shooting star, make a wish.
