First amateur astrophoto after 1 year, 60 photos 15 sec each with 500 mm SigmaSport, tracking, ISO 1500, stacking and initial processing with Siril, tight final processing with Lightroom.
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
The Orion Nebula is visible to the naked human eye--it is both bright and relatively large. It is in the constellation Orion, in the dagger, which hangs from Orion's belt.
Fifty-one photos, each 45 seconds exposure (ISO 2000, 540 mm, f/11) were assembled in Starry Landscape Stacker and processed in Photoshop and Topaz DeNoise AI.
The camera was mounted on an Ioptron SkyGuider to track stars.
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.

Alcune ore fa il nuovo Papa Leone XIV ha concluso il suo primo discorso dicendo: “Oggi è il giorno della supplica alla Madonna di Pompei. Nostra Madre, Maria, vuole sempre camminare con noi, stare vicino, aiutarci con la sua intercessione e il suo amore. Preghiamo insieme per questa nuova missione, per tutta la Chiesa, per la pace del mondo e chiediamo questa grazia speciale a Maria, nostra madre”.
Così mi è tornato alla mente il bellissimo santuario di Pompei, che visitai nel 2015, del quale non avevo ancora pubblicato nessuna foto in Flickr.
Un augurio di buon pontificato a Papa Leone XIV! Un augurio di pace, tolleranza, solidarietà al mondo intero!
-------------------
A few hours ago the new Pope Leo XIV concluded his first speech by saying: “Today is the day of the Supplication to Our Lady of Pompeii. Our Mother Mary always wants to walk with us, be close to us, help us with her intercession and her love. So I would like to pray with you. Let us pray together for this new mission, for the whole Church, for peace in the world and let us ask this special grace from Mary, our Mother”.
So I remembered the beautiful sanctuary of Pompeii, which I visited in 2015, of which I had not yet published any photos on Flickr.
Best wishes for a good pontificate to Pope Leo XIV! Best wishes for peace, tolerance, solidarity to the whole world!
Ore empties for Hibbing Taconite round the bend at the old Boylston west wye location as they head for an appointment with the loadout.
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!!
Da qui a sera,
saranno ore di primavera,
di solitudini composte
come fosse vero che eri e sei
il tempo che non torna.
There was a discussion recently on our local OreRail YahooGroup about NP ore operations in Superior. I came across this scan in my files - no information on it to identify the location, year or photographer.
This train appears to be an empty bound for the Cuyuna Range that has just departed NP's Hill Avenue yard and is clearing the VN interlocking plant that controlled the crossing with Soo Line in South Superior. The sun angle would suggest a morning shot and the RS11 looks new - or recently washed - making this circa around 1960 or so. Note a few Soo Line cars mixed in.
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.

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 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.
A trio of Southern Pacific C44-9Ws and a single SD40T-2 pull 105 loads of Minntac iron ore through the 1983 Thistle Line Change west of Rio, Utah the afternoon of Feb. 5, 1995. The train would be delivered to Geneva Steel later that same afternoon.
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.
The first limestone train of the spring into the Fairline plant at Forbes, Minnesota returns to Duluth lite power with a nice assortment of Proctor assigned older EMD power - April 11, 2023.
The final Image in a set that was taken during a pleasant Friday night at Loch Ore. This image is just a simple gap in the rocks and an interesting line of light in the skies.
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

Union Pacific TR5 No. 1874 and two SD40-2s drag an SUE (Southern Unit East) iron ore train out of Provo Yard on the road to Geneva Steel on Aug. 21, 1977. This was photographed on Kodachrome slide film when I explored railroading via a 10-speed bicycle.

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.
