“The area was encompassed in a bubble of warm, fragrant steam from the funnel cake deep fryers. It smelled like sweet vanilla cake batter you licked off a spoon.”

Una conjunción de la Luna, con Venus y Júpiter, el 17 de Julio 2015
Virpi Niemela - Edificio Estación Sismológica La Plata.
Opening reception this Saturday for the 9th Annual Fine Art of Photography Competition/Exhibit in Plymouth, Center for the Arts. My print 'Planetary explorers' was accepted into the show. (Fun fact: This is a straight photograph, taken in September last year during the fogxflo installation in the Back Bay Fens.)
The arrangement of these buttonbush flowers/buds reminded me of an orrery model of the solar system. It even came complete with a tiny flower fly spaceship.
Edited Rijksmuseum print of a "star chart" but more realistically a chart of the phases of illuminated bodies.

If you want some gorgeous skies, go to Canada. xD
I was watching the news and some astronomer came on and said that Venus would be directly visible near the moon tonight. I, being a space geek, ran outside for proof. I'm pretty sure that that light across from the Moon is Venus. It was unusually bright.
My camera still isn't working. I'm going through photography withdrawal here. >.<
One of those "I wish I'd known then what I know now" moments:)
Helicopter flight over New York with an E4300.
NGC 1398 is a barred spiral galaxy with a double ring structure. It's located at 65 million light years in the constellation of Fornax .The galaxy spans 135000 light years, in diameter , so larger than the Milky Way.
NGC 1360 is a planetary nebula 3 light years in diameter at 1500 light year distance , also called Robin's Egg
The image was recorded in 24 hours at my remote observatory in Hakos-Namibia with a SW Esprit 120ED , ZWO ASI2600MC camera on a 10 Micron 2000HPS mount
From left to right: Jupiter, Venus, Mars, Saturn. Technically only an alignment, I guess, but it sounds better as a conjunction.
Abell61 Planetary nebula
A beautiful nebula in the constellation of the Swan, characterised by an almost perfectly round shape, was created by the small blue central star of magnitude 17. It is 4500 light years away from us and extends only 4 light years.
A very faint nebula, which can hardly be seen in the individual shots, with 4 hours of data it can be highlighted more, although I had to give up before I reached the amount of photos I had hoped for, due to the death of my PC.
I still wanted to process it to have a memory of those nights spent in the observatory headbutting the telescope gone mad.

Project 365 // Day 274
Had a tough time deciding what to shoot for today's 365 project... so I looked around and brainstormed what I could do. I finally came up with something, but I had no idea how it would look, or if it would even work. I really like this end result, because it reminded me of a far away planet, but as some commenters have commented, it reminded them of Dragonballs (from the DBZ anime). I think revealing what it is would definitely ruin the mystery, so I won't, you're all welcome to guess though :)

The Planetary Cargo Transport is a short range scooter that is able to transport cargo and supplies around the CS base.
Jeffrey A. Hoffman, anchored on the end of the Remote Manipulator System arm at the top center, is preparing to stow Wide Field and Planetary Camera (WFPC1) during the third of five extravehicular activities. Hoffman and F. Story Musgrave, assisting near the stowage area for WFPC1, had earlier installed the new camera (the white rectangle on the telescope behind Hoffman).
Before the Empire can construct a base on a new world, an appropriate planet must be found, and then a cursory exploration performed to ensure there are no serious threats. The Imperial Planetary Scout is tough, self-sufficient and specially trained for such a task.

I subscribe to Damian Peach's Patreon Astrophotography channel and he kindly provides raw data on the planets.
This is his data from imaging on the 30th of Septmber 2020 as Mars nears opposition.
Takahashi Mewlon 300 scope with ZWO ASI120MM-S camera
The data was provided as unsharpened RG and B files. I have sharpened them individually in RegiStax6 then used WInJupos to derotate and produce master RG and B files which were then combined into a colour image.
I used Photoshop to clean some derotation artefacts ( R channel as partial mask), enhance contrast and colour grade.
It's quite a gem. The current tilt of the rings is almost at a maximum, so we get a nice display!
What really hooked me on astrophotography in the first place was the realization and amazement of what can actually be imaged from our backyards. Most people don't even really think about it. The detail seen in amateur equipment these days is better than what an interplanetary spacecraft was able to send back to us only 40 years ago.
From where I live, Saturn doens't get more than 30 degrees above the horizon. Unfortunately it will be that way for years to come, so I just have to settle for shooting through a lot of air (which blurs detail).
To sort that convoluted mess out, shot of Saturn is actually a stack of 15,000 individual exposures. The files that went into this weigh in at 11 gigabytes. All for a subject that is 200 pixels across. I have to go hard drive shopping.
Shot on 06-JUN-2015.

This is the closest that the planets will be for this conjunction. Single 5 second frame, ISO 100, taken with a Canon t3i and an EF 200mm f/2.8L II lens, CG-5 mount, slightly cropped. At the bottom is Venus, left is Jupiter, and right is Mercury.
Cosmic Ray's Starlight Cafe has become one of my favorite attractions at Walt Disney World, and that's not just because of the delicious toppings bar. It's because of this guy, whose excellent songs and side-splitting humor make the cafe the best little burger joint in the galaxy.
I don't know what it is about the original park characters that is alluring to me, but my favorite Disney characters, in order, are: Figment, Skippy (Alien Encounter), Sonny Eclipse, Lagoona Gator (Typhoon Lagoon), Ice Gator (Blizzard Beach), and Ludwig Von Drake (Non-Parks). I only wish Disney would promote these characters a little better and offer merchandise featuring them (I will readily admit, I am a sucker for merchandise).
Oh, and Ray, how about giving Sonny a raise? And I'm not talking soups and salad.
