my new star adventurer finally enables some serious deep sky astrophotography. unfortunately, my 75-300mm is less than up to the task! very bad CA, strange stars and slow optics. despite this i tried it out on the globular cluster omega centauri as i only get a limited window of time to image this part of space given its incredibly southernly declination.

I saw two shooting stars last night
I wished on them but they were only satellites
Is it wrong to wish on space hardware
I wish, i wish, i wish you'd care
—Billy Bragg, "A New England"
We drove home from Toronto last night listening to a CD my brother made of Bragg's "Worker's Playtime" album. For some reason he added two versions of "A New England" — Bragg's and Kirsty MacColl's. That stanza stuck in my head all day today so I figured I'd wait for the International Space Station to fly by and exorcise it from me.
(This is a one minute exposure and as such the satellite leaves a streak in the sky. You don't actually see the streak in real life, just a bright, moving object.)

The Seattle Space Needle - Symbol of the 1962 World's Fair.
The photo was taken in the late afternoon with a low Sun. I thought it gave the structure a nice light.
The Space Needle is an observation tower in Seattle, Washington, a landmark of the Pacific Northwest, and a symbol of Seattle
Inspired by IC 1274
The IDIOTs (Intergalactic Digital Imaging Optical Technicians) continue to process data collected by the Hullbull Remote Space Telescope during last year's return trip from the Abell 2744 cluster of galaxies. Another small emission/reflection nebula powered by hot blue supergiant stars and some dark nebula in an area of dense main sequence stars in a galaxy far, far, away.
Not a real space photo. Light art.
Single exposure. Ingredients: One clear plate glass very recently broken into several shards, one shot of milky water, one shot of clear water, (one shot of tequila - not used in image), a little air, one flashlight with and without blue/cyan gel and orange/red gel, one ThinkGeek "Color Shine Flashlight" set to pinkish hue, red, blue and orange-yellow LEDs, one spray bottle, water, one crumpled wet paper towel, cross-screen diffraction filter, one sheet of wax paper. Lots of lenscap on, lenscap off.
There was a suburb very close to centre of Brisbane city, that included commercial, and it was past its use by date. The council decided to change the whole area into fully residential and supporting businesses, a process called urban renewal.
Amatil (Coca Cola) had a big site there are it was relocated in 1994 and the old buildings bulldozed, and from the rubble rose a glamorous area full of bistros, cinema, specialty stores, and over-priced glam.
You can get your driver to let you off at the Bang and Olufsen store so that you can point to an expensive digital widget and say "I'll take that" and sign a cheque for a couple of thousand, before Jeeves picks you up again.
So here we have the Space Store, and it is filled with all that European state of the art, oh so modern, nice to look at and very uncomfortable furniture.
I have seen sofas in here that are as uncomfortable as sitting on a park bench, yet look full of pizazz and have a price tag that took my breath away.
Apparently if you have to ask the price, you can't afford it :-)
I gave the shot a bit more pizazz by using a solarise filter, just so it had a Space Age look.
That's a big reflection in the window of some buildings across the street.

It's In The Details theme
The purpose of the space plant clean-up rover is to take any invasive space plant and take it to a sanctuary. This plant does not belong in the dessert, but more of a forest, so it will be moved.
"Designed for use inside nebula, this cruiser lacks sensors and relies instead on the guile and cunning of the Slugs."
The Man of War is the 'A' version of the Slug Cruiser from the roguelike space game FTL: Faster Than Light.
This model was inspired by the hinge construction in its nose, which replicates the lines on the in-game ship. It was great fun to build; this is probably my best MOC I've made to date.
This infrared image from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope shows the Helix nebula, a cosmic starlet often photographed by amateur astronomers for its vivid colors and eerie resemblance to a giant eye.
The nebula, located about 700 light-years away in the constellation Aquarius, belongs to a class of objects called planetary nebulae. Discovered in the 18th century, these cosmic butterflies were named for their resemblance to gas-giant planets.
Planetary nebulae are actually the remains of stars that once looked a lot like our sun.
When sun-like stars die, they puff out their outer gaseous layers. These layers are heated by the hot core of the dead star, called a white dwarf, and shine with infrared and visible-light colors. Our own sun will blossom into a planetary nebula when it dies in about five billion years.
In Spitzer's infrared view of the Helix nebula, the eye looks more like that of a green monster's. Infrared light from the outer gaseous layers is represented in blues and greens. The white dwarf is visible as a tiny white dot in the center of the picture. The red color in the middle of the eye denotes the final layers of gas blown out when the star died.
The brighter red circle in the very center is the glow of a dusty disk circling the white dwarf (the disk itself is too small to be resolved). This dust, discovered by Spitzer's infrared heat-seeking vision, was most likely kicked up by comets that survived the death of their star. Before the star died, its comets and possibly planets would have orbited the star in an orderly fashion. But when the star blew off its outer layers, the icy bodies and outer planets would have been tossed about and into each other, resulting in an ongoing cosmic dust storm. Any inner planets in the system would have burned up or been swallowed as their dying star expanded.
The Helix nebula is one of only a few dead-star systems in which evidence for comet survivors has been found.
This image is made up of data from Spitzer's infrared array camera and multiband imaging photometer. Blue shows infrared light of 3.6 to 4.5 microns; green shows infrared light of 5.8 to 8 microns; and red shows infrared light of 24 microns.

Created using 2 exposures (one for moons, one for the planet) combined into one image. Celestron Nexstar 6SE, ZWO asi224mc, ZWO ADC, 3 minute captures in SharpCap processed in PIPP, AutoStakkert3, RegiStax Wavelets and finished in Lightroom.
I wandered inside the Guggenheim in Bibao for the best part of a day - the interior views of the building's architecture were truely inspirational - as was the sympathetic placement and lighting of the art.
.The Canon 17-55 F2.8 was my chosen lens for this trip - it does have a softer result than some but it's relatively light to hand carry and has a very useful range for the kind of shots I knew I'd be taking.
This was shot is from the ground floor from amongst Richard Serra's installation 'The Matter of Time'. I've presented it in it's natural pastel colour and slightly darker than reality because that is more representative of my feeling for this space.
SpaceEngine - A free space simulation program that lets you explore the universe in three dimensions, from planet Earth to the most distant galaxies. Areas of the known universe are represented using actual astronomical data, while regions uncharted by astronomy are generated procedurally. Millions of galaxies, trillions of stars, countless planets - all available for exploration. You can land any planet, moon or asteroid and watch alien landscapes and celestial phenomena. You can even pilot starships and atmospheric shuttles.
