The winter targets are starting to show in the early mornings these days so here is a new take the Orion Nebula. Messier 42 (Orion Nebula) is one of the brightest nebulae in the night sky, and is visible to the naked eye. This magnitude 4 interstellar cloud of ionized hydrogen gas contains a young open cluster of four primary stars known as the Trapezium. The M42 nebula is part of a much larger nebula system known as the Orion Molecular Complex, which extends throughout the Orion constellation including objects such as the Horsehead Nebula, M78, and Barnard’s Loop. Hope you all enjoy and thanks for any constructive comments.

17 minutes into Umbra, she was still glowing blue on the edge. And what a great site she was! Of course I had to blind pan it as it was nowhere near Orion. Some noise redux and a crop, otherwise no PS.
About the blueish glow: The color temperature setting on camera was set in the cool range to draw this out. Eclipse researcher Dr. Richard Keen of the University of Colorado explains:
"Most of the light illuminating the Moon passes through the stratosphere, and is reddened by scattering. However, light passing through the upper stratosphere penetrates the ozone layer, which absorbs red light and actually makes the passing light ray bluer!" This can be seen, he says, as a blue fringe around the red core of Earth's shadow.

This shot is roughly 20 stacked images. I used a Hoya Red Intensifier for light pollution reduction.
A quick shot of the constellation Orion rising over the trees in my backyard last evening, January 30, 2016 in Weatherly, PA (USA). Canon 6D, Canon EF17-40mm f/4L USM lens, 25 seconds, f/4, 17mm. Also included a Tiffen 77mm STar 4PT 2mm filter.
Canon 7D ii, EF 300 f/4 L, stack of 48 x 1 minute exposures (Starry Sky Stacker), ISO 250, f/4. Tracked with IOptron Skyguider Pro. No calibration frames. Shot from my backyard, Bortle 4-5 skies.
The Orion Nebula is a picture book of star formation, from the massive, young stars shaping the nebula to the pillars of dense gas that may be the homes of budding stars. The Trapezium resides in the bright central region. Ultraviolet light unleashed by these stars carves a cavity in the emission nebula and disrupts the growth of hundreds of smaller stars.

The Orion, Running Man, Horsehead and Flame Nebulae and some of the smaller nebulae in a shot of the heart of the constellation Orion.
A reprocess of an image shot in November 2015. I had captured excellent data and the processed image looked good, but I knew there was a lot missing. The region imaged contains heavy dust clouds that I had somehow managed to process out of the image, showing only the nebulae. This time, I used a completely different post-processing technique that not only preserved the clouds, but also pulled out much finer detail and more vibrant colour of of the nebulae with less "posterizing" of the objects.

Set the camera on Orion as it was rising last night, unfortunately the wind decided not to cooperate and I had to throw out ~90% of my subs. Despite this all of the highlights of the region including some fainter dust and nebulosity can be seen.

"This mess of emotions got his body questioning
Is this feeling alright?
He studying my freckles like the constellations
And he's looking for signs
I know that you're not used to this
Boy will you let me teach you
Your mind is asking for my love
And you just need to hear it
Try not to wander off too much
Don't let your fears control you
Keep you attentive with authentic kisses filled with Amor.
I'll show you
How it's supposed to feel
When we meet
At Orion's Belt
I'll show you
How it's supposed to feel." - Sabrina Claudio ♫
Bouleaux et sapins, en allant "aux sapins" voir ce qui poussait comme champignons
Les zones d'orée, comme toutes les zones de rencontre entre deux milieux sont des endroits de biodiversité.
La sapinière derrière, par contre....
et encore, elle est déjà vieille et, selon les parcelles, comporte du bois mort, laissé sur place lors de l'éclaircissage.

Here with this 3 panel Mosaic are the most popular Jewels of The Constellation of Orion all captured from the backyard of my new home on the slopes of Grand Mesa at an elevation of 6600 feet in Western Colorado over only 2 nights.
I am amazed with the sensitivity and low read noise of the new QHY367C, Full Frame 7376x4938, 36.4mega pixel One Shot Color CMOS camera. The mosaic comprises of 135 x 2 minute exposures for a Total Integration time of 4.5 Hours.
For comparison, here is my earlier Mosaic of Orion captured using the QHY11 Mono CCD, total integration time was over 40 hours (admittedly this image has H-Alpha added)

Orión
Aquí comparto una foto de campo amplio, se trata de una zona de Orión.
En esta foto se aprecian de dcha. a izq. la Nebulosa de Orión, la del Hombre Corriendo, la de Cabeza de Caballo y la de la Flama.
La nebulosa de Orión forma parte de una inmensa nube de gas y polvo llamada nube de Orión, que se extiende por el centro de la constelación de Orión y que contiene también el bucle de Barnard, la nebulosa Cabeza de Caballo, la nebulosa de De Mairan, la nebulosa M78 y la nebulosa de la Flama. Se forman estrellas a lo largo de toda la nebulosa, desprendiendo gran cantidad de energía térmica, y por ello el espectro que predomina es el infrarrojo.
La nebulosa de Orión es una de las pocas nebulosas que pueden observarse a simple vista, incluso en lugares con cierta contaminación lumínica.
EXIF: Tubo Askar 180mm.
Cámara: ASI294MC.
Filtros L-Enhace, L-Quad, y Ha.
Montura UMI17, con tubo guía Svbony 30mmf4 y cámara QHY5mono.
La exposición son 18 horas aproximadamente, tomadas desde la terraza de casa.
Espero que os guste.

This is the brightest meteor I saw all night. The frustrating thing was that I had just moved my camera to frame Orion the way I wanted. Had I left it alone, that meteor would have been dead center.

The nebulosity in Orions belt; Orion nebula, Runningman nebula, Flame nebula and the Horsehead nebula, all in one frame!
When you look closely, and because this was a simply add instead of kappa-sigma stack, you can still see the sattelites going thru the frame.

Traveled to a darker part of Essex to do some night photography. Didn't go quite to plan. Part I wanted to go for reflection shots shut at dusk, the weather said clear..... Took 3 hours of waiting until the clouds dispersed. When they did, I changed my plan and shot this. Was worth the trip for me in the end.

We had a couple good clear nights on our last trip to Cambria. I brought a gem torch with me out to the cliff to see if I could get the plants to fluoresce under UV light. No strong response, but it did add an element I don't have from previous times shooting from here.
Orion is centered in the frame. Aldebaran and the Hyades are to the right, with Jupiter shining brightly above them. Sirius is at the left. During this exposure, headlights from a car lit up one of the waves out in the Pacific.
The sky is a stack of 7 exposures with the settlings listed in the EXIF data. Those were stacked and processed in PixInsight. The sky and land were composited back together in Photoshop. This one didn't need many adjustments at all.

The Orion Nebula (also known as Messier 42, M42, or NGC 1976) is a diffuse nebula situated in the Milky Way, being south of Orion's Belt in the constellation of Orion.[b] It is one of the brightest nebulae, and is visible to the naked eye in the night sky. M42 is located at a distance of 1,344 ± 20 light years[3][6] and is the closest region of massive star formation to Earth. The M42 nebula is estimated to be 24 light years across. It has a mass of about 2000 times the mass of the Sun. Older texts frequently refer to the Orion Nebula as the Great Nebula in Orion or the Great Orion Nebula.[7]
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, brown dwarfs, intense and turbulent motions of the gas, and the photo-ionizing effects of massive nearby stars in the nebula.

Locomotive 87 701 'Orion' working for the Bulgarian company Bulmarket is coupled to a tank freight train at the station of Kurilo and waits for a clear track in the station of Iliyantsi which is the final destination of its train.
1300 light years away, hydrogen gas lights up the sword of Orion. Also visible are the flame and horsehead nebulae.
During 1997, Mendip Rail General Motors Type 5 locomotives were used on the South Wales iron ore movements between Port Talbot Docks and Llanwern Steel Works. In this afternoon view taken at Cardiff Canton in late July, Yeoman liveried 59004 'Paul A Hammond' was returning empty JUA tippler wagons [6B52] to Port Talbot while on the left ARC liveried 59104 'Village of Great Elm' was leading the 7B60 loaded delivery to Llanwern.

Orion Nebula, one of most spectacular views of the night sky.
The bright full moon and city lights stolen contrast from the image, but this nebula is so bright that I could have some details in very bad light conditions.
Bessemer's southbound ore train passes through the pastoral countryside of Adamsville, PA, while the sun plays hide and seek across the farmlands and forests.
Unfortunately, I only made one trip to shoot the B&LE, but I'm glad I made it out there before it got the full CN treatment. It was a fun trip with a small group of friends including an excellent tour guide. The weather wasn't very cooperative, but we still came away with some quality shots and good memories of a day well spent!
Europe, Greece, Aegean, Cyclades, Naxos, Moutsouna, Enaerios carts, Emery ore (cut from all sides)
Carts and emery ore (smyrigli) of the sky- lift transport system (Enaerios) that took emery ore from the mines of the mountains near Stravolagada to the harbour in Moutsouna where the carts of the sky lift were put on rails and rolled to the loading quay were the ore was loaded in these barges. They would then navigate to a bulk carrier that was, because of its deep draught, anchored somewhere in the bay.
Shot in Moutsouna, at the former and aforementioned transfer point near the loading pier.
The 'Enaerios' transportation system was created in 1928 and operated till 1978. Its statistics: 170 carts, 9 km long, 73 iron pylons with a height from 5 to 43 m. Some 50 workers were needed to operate it. Before the Enaerios, donkeys were used an after the completion of the road network of Naxos in 1978, lorries took over the transport.
Emery is locally known as smyrigly (also named smyrida) and was for many years the main source of wealth of Naxos. It largely consists of the mineral corundum (aluminium oxide=Al2O3) and other minerals such as the iron-bearing spinels, hercynite, magnetite, and rutile. The hardness of corundum is second only to diamond. It was used as an abrasive for metals, glass, wood and sandblasting and as a traction enhancer on roads, loading ramps, airport runways and pavements. Nowadays sintered carbide and oxide materials have replaced emery as abrasive, although on a small scale emery is still mined on the island.
This is number 28 of the Cyclades 2011 album and 40 of Adventures in chaos.

I was determined to capture a wide field image of Orion before it was lost in the twilight. This was captured with a Fuji X-T2 and an old Pentax 50mm F2 lens on an iOptron SkyTracker Pro. It comprises of 20x 1 minute exposures at ISO 1600, and is two images stitched together.
Taken in West Fork, Arkansas with high-level clouds in the area. Not a particularly clean image upon pixel-peeping, but the overall image is okay. 25 second exposure, 18mm, F2.8, ISO3200.
RP-3A 149670 on departure from Kinloss. Assigned to the US Naval Research Laboratory this was the 11th built Orion. A good one to get, not sure we'll see any more Navy P3s but we live in hope.
Captured during a night watching the Aurora Borealis on Lake Inari. The sky was so clear with so many stars, I've never seen so many absolutely stunning to see so many. With no Moon you cold almost read by starlight alone. Unfortunately I inadvertently cropped the top of the constellation bu the belt and M42 make Orion unmistakable.
Alnilam, Alnitak and Mintaka surrounded by the Horsehead nebula, the Flame nebula and a lot of small reflection and emission nebulas. This area of the sky is so full of small details that each photo reveals something I haven't seen before.
Taken with a Canon 60Da and Astrotrac mount, 135mm lens. 47 exposures of 3 minutes each at F4 ISO1600. Processed with Pixinsight.
