messing around with the Nik Collection on PCC using this old image from years ago - been a few years since I used it...let me know what you think,,,?

Perseus with the Head of Medusa is a bronze sculpture made by Benvenuto Cellini in the period 1545–1554.

The sculpture stands on a square base which has bronze relief panels depicting the story of Perseus and Andromeda, similar to a predella on an altarpiece.

 

It is located in the Loggia dei Lanzi in the Piazza della Signoria in Florence, Italy. The second Florentine duke, Duke Cosimo I de' Medici, commissioned the work with specific political connections to the other sculptural works in the piazza. When the piece was revealed to the public on 27 April 1554, Michelangelo's David, Bandinelli's Hercules and Cacus, and Donatello's Judith and Holofernes were already installed in the piazza

NGC 1333 is the currently most active region of star formation in the Perseus molecular cloud. It was first discovered by Eduard Schonfeld in 1855 and is a bright reflection nebula in the western portion of the Perseus molecular cloud. The star BD +30◦549 illuminates NGC 1333 and was found to be a B8 spectral type. It is approximately 1000 light years away and is about 15 light years in diameter.

 

I rarely capture data on LRGB targets, so this has been a baptism of fire for me!!

The Perseus and Andromeda fountain at Witley Court is one of the grandest in Europe. One hundred years ago, Witley Court was one of England's great country houses. Today, it is a ruined Italianate mansion after a major fire caused great damage in 1937. The dramatic ruins of Witley Court, its elaborate parterre gardens and enchanting woodlands can be explored thanks to English Heritage.

I love this beautiful fountain, it is one of the main attractions at Witley court - Great Witley Worcestershire...

Hope you have a good weekend my friends, and thank you for the lovely comment's and favourites...

Le stelle della via Lattea scorrono lente sopra gli alberi, mentre le nebulose rosse cominciano ad apparire in questa lunga esposizione di 60 secondi con inseguitore.

In basso a sinistra si vedono le Pleiadi, un ammasso di stelle nella costellazione del Toro, mentre poco sopra, verso il centro dell'immagine, spicca la nebulosa California, di colore rosso.

Quest'anno sarà difficile vedere le stelle cadenti Perseidi, a causa della luna piena...

ma è sempre bello ricordare le costellazioni da cui prendono il nome gli sciami meteorici.

A partire dal basso, in questa foto, si vede il Toro con Aldebaran, le Iadi e le Pleiadi.

Poi il Perseo con la rossa nebulosa California al centro dell'immagine. E poi parte dell'Auriga e infine, in alto, la Cassiopea con le nebulose di idrogeno, sempre di colore rosso.

 

Se ingrandite, vedrete che ogni puntino è una stella.

Buona giornata :)

him who saved Andromeda from the sea monster Cetus. Yes they got married and yes, Mythology is beautiful.

You probably already know, but if you don't, Perseid doesn't really have to do anything with the constellation Perseus and it's only used to identify the radiant of this meteor shower.

Comet 109P/Swift-Tuttle last visited the inner solar system in 1992 and it will take another 133 years to complete its orbit around the sun.

Every year we have the chance to observe the spectacle of Earth passing through the debris left behind by this comet and sometimes it's just awesome, sometimes not so much, weather depending :)

This week we were not that lucky in the central-eastern part of the US with clouds, scattered showers and thunderstorms spread all over.

I skeptically checked Clear Outside around 8 and realized that there might be a small chance for a short window to see the sky so I grabbed my gear and got to Hueston Woods just after the sunset.

I was able to take 30 sec shots for about 120 minutes before the clouds kicked me out of the park. There was quite a spectacle for a few minutes and I was even able to capture a few meteors with my 14mm despite the class 4 bortle location, looking towards the light polluted Dayton.

I used a tracker for the light shots blended with 6 stacked foreground shots. My first time playing with this, so be gentle, please ;)

Oh, I forgot. I love Milky Way too.

Italian Gardens - Perseus and Medusa, England

 

A park local to us and where many friends like to meet up for a good old chat and a cuppa after a walk around the lake. The lakeside walk takes you aside the River Trent, by the bird hide, past the cascading weir to the Lakeside Cafe, along the woodland trails and through a wildflower meadow with giant dandelion sculptures.

 

At the head of the Italian Gardens stands Perseus, at the moment he has slain Medusa, holding her head aloft!

 

This statue is a 19th Century copy of Benvenuto Cellini’s original 1550s masterpiece, now at the Loggia dei Lonzi, in Florence.

The Perseus double cluster complex imaged during a brief period of clear weather on night of 9th October. Consisting of two open star clusters NGC869 (top) and NGC884 (below) the complex lies at a distance of around 7500 lightyears from us.

 

Both clusters contain hot white and blue-white comparatively young stars as well as some supergiant red ones. These red/orange stars are more numerous within NGC884.

 

The clusters are physically close in space and are believed to contain at least 300 hot-white and blue-white super massive, super-luminous, giant stars in each cluster.

 

Conditions were not great with clouds coming and going with variable transparency on Saturday night. Eventually fog and mist moved in calling a halt to my imaging session and I had to trash a number of exposures.

 

Imaged with my little Skywatcher 72ED refractor with flattener and a ZWO ASI2600MC camera.

Thanks for looking!

NGC869 and NGC884, the Double Cluster in Perseus.

 

About 7500 light-years distant, about 12.8 million years old, including the surrounding star haloes, the combined two clusters are estimated to have a mass of 20,000 solar masses.
