Mid June.... conditions this time of year are prime for night storms. Just some phenomenal lighting display that evening.
I knew there was a reason why I kept all those images!

I love the peeling-paint Howard Red/Yellow/Purple Line station benches, which are still hanging on as the station is being drastically remodeled. Seen on Chicagoist.
Wheatfield.
Midsummer:
the blue of the sky stretches
from horizon to horizon,
fading from intense cerulean overhead,
to a gentle haze closest to the plain’s edge.
The wheat field gleams
golden in the noon light,
vast as a prairie,
the ears heavy,
bending
under their own productivity.
That was then.
Now,
in early spring, there is still snow in the north,
the pristine whiteness mired in mud,
and blood,
churned by tanks, craters, artillery,
pits blown apparently randomly,
deep and water-logged,
recalling the almost forgotten horrors
of Ypres and Passchendaele.
The woodlands give little cover,
the trees split, twigs scattered.
No birds sing.
No seeds have been planted.
The only yield will be that of death
and destruction…
yet still the flag flutters
optimistically,
hopefully,
heroically,
echoing the blue and yellow,
of sky and land:
the colours of peace.

Here we see a Space Fire Team scouting rover, on the lookout for the relatively rare Fire Hose Tree. This tree was particularly valuable, as it trunk was a fire hose and its fruit was blue flashing lights, used on fire vehicles.
Fire officers would travel the galactic disc, looking for these trees, harvesting their fruit and coppicing the wood for the hoses.

------------------------
Boracay is a small island in the Philippines located approximately 315 km (196 mi) south of Manila and 2 km off the northwest tip of Panay Island in the Western Visayas region of the Philippines. Boracay Island and its beaches have received awards from numerous travel publications and agencies. The island is administered by the Philippine Tourism Authority and the provincial government of Aklan. Apart from its white sand beaches, Boracay is also famous for being one of the world's top destinations for relaxation. It is also emerging among the top destinations for tranquility and nightlife.
White Beach, the main tourism beach, is about four kilometres long and is lined with resorts, hotels, lodging houses, restaurants, and other tourism-related businesses. In the central portion, for about two kilometres, there is a footpath known as the Beachfront Path separating the beach itself from the establishments located along it. North and south of the Beachfront Path, beachfront establishments do literally front along the beach itself.
Boracay was awarded as the 2012 best island in the world from the international travel magazine Travel + Leisure. In 2016, the resort island was at the top of the Best Islands in the World list published by the international magazine Condé Nast Traveler

NGC 1792 is a spiral galaxy located in the Columba constellation. The optical appearance of this starburst galaxy is quite chaotic, due to the patchy distribution of dust throughout the disc of this galaxy. It is very rich in neutral hydrogen gas - fuel for the formation of new stars - and is indeed rapidly forming such stars. The galaxy is characterized by unusually luminous far-infrared radiation - this is due to dust heated by young stars.

On my journey home from Scotland last month i stopped off in a lay-by to show my kids the "Milky Way". i decided to try some night sky photography, as i took this a train passed... A little noisy so more practice is needed.
Woodleys' has been associated with Berry's Bay since c1906 and is of local historical significance. The boatsheds and slipways that exemplify the maritime nature of Sydney Harbour, and until recently represent one of its few surviving boat building complexes,
Berry's Bay as a whole was a collection of waterfront industries related to timber yards and shipbuilding, with simple waterfront structures and wharfage. It is now abandoned and awaiting redevelopment.

A long walk and a short Jetty ....
After a long walk to the end of the path and slowly making our way back again, we came to the small jetty close to the bridge.
One of the last shots of the day, and the fog seemed to be getting even thicker. The sun is getting quite high in the sky, but is now completely obscured and is struggling to make any inroads.

Pleasants Valley Road, one of my favorite places in northern California. There were many old wooden barns along the drive, and dirt side roads framed by beautiful old growth oak trees. The golden yellow grass you see here is one of the reasons California is called the Golden State (besides the Gold Rush, of course). Sadly this grass color is due to dry conditions, and - coupled with hot, dry winds - it expoded into wildfire in August, 2022: The so-called "Pleasants" fire destroyed everything in its path, including homes and the highly-flammable wood of old rustic barns. Some people were injured, and livestock were lost. It was heartbreaking seeing it from the first fire reports. Some of my brother and sister firefighters responded hundreds of miles to help fight that fire and numerous others in the area.

Hi Folks,
I just published a new imaging project on my website.
Messier 101 - The Pinwheel Galaxy with the recently discovered supernova - SN2023ixf!
This target is located 21 Million light-years away in the constellation of Ursa Major.
This was about a 3-hour exposure in LRGB using my widefield Askar FRA400 Platform.
Everybody and their brother seems out there shooting images of this galaxy with its supernova.
And who's to blame them? Supernovae are amazing events. At the end of its life, a star explodes, releasing as much energy in one second as our Sun will emit in its entire lifetime!
This does not happen every day, and to have one in a galaxy as beautiful as the Pinwheel is worth shooting.
But with so many images of this out there - why should I shoot it tool. Do I think I can do better than everyone else? Hardly!
This is such a cool event that I did want to have one captured in my portfolio.
But during my last imaging session, my widefield Askar FRA400 Platform was the only scope that was untasked. During galaxy season, there are relatively few large targets to shoot. So I pointed it at M101 and decided to go for it!
My expectations were very low, though:
- A widefield scope shooting a galaxy - that will be a problem!
- I was only able to get 3 hours of integration - my last shot of M101 had 11 hours - so that's going to be a problem
- I am shooting with some thin smoke from the Alberta Wildfires in the air - that IS a problem.
So why shoot it at all?
- Supernovae are one the coolest events in our night sky - I wanted to capture an image of that - even a poor one!
- I saw this as an opportunity to dive into what supernovae were all about and describe that in my web write-up
- I have the twisted part of my personality that likes the challenge of getting a better image out of compromised data
I drizzle processed, then cropped like mad, and took advantage of BlurXTerminator and NoiseXTerninaor to help improve a dicey image.
The final result is not wonderful, but it is not horrible either!
The full story of this imaging project, and some cool info on supernovae, can be found here:

Thanks,
Pat
