El complejo Rho Ophiuchus. Una de las zonas para mí más llamativas del verano en nuestras latitudes.
Podemos verlo muy cerca del centro de la vía láctea, guiándonos por la constelación de Escorpio y buscando su brillante estrella "alfa" Antares, de reconocible color amarillo.
Todo alrededor de ella parece un escaparate del cielo nocturno: nebulosas de reflexión, nebulosas de emisión, nebulosas oscuras, estrellas dobles, cúmulos y todo tipo de colores.
Es una pena que nuestro ojo no esté preparado para ello y sólo aparezca cuando usamos largas exposiciones.
Esta zona debe su nombre a una de las estrellas de la constelación Ofiuco, "ro", que es la que vemos rodeada de una azulada nube de gas. Aunque esté tan cerca de Escorpio no pertecene a ella.
Pero... ¿qué es eso de "alfa" o "ro"?
Para identificar las estrellas más brillantes, Johann Bayer en el año 1.603 ideó un sistema usando las letras griegas. Así, usan "alfa" para la más importante como es el caso de Antares de Escorpio, y luego irán "beta", "gamma", "delta" etc... En el puesto 17 está la letra "ro", que identifica la estrella que da nombre a este complejo, aunque si ampliáis la foto veréis que en realidad son varias.

Lake Bumbunga
South Australia
I drove to this location in the hope that with recent rains, there would be a sheen of water over this salt lake so that I could try to take some reflections of stars. Unfortunately, the water was all soaked into the ground which made it quite boggy in places but the stars were out for an hour before moonrise occurred. The lights are from the small town of Lochiel.
In the process of photographing each frame of this panel with light painting in between, I almost lost my boots which had submerged into the mud while standing there in the dark! It was a pretty grotty drive home lol
the skies have finally cleared & are dark enough to see the stars again — which always feels to me like a gentle rain after a long drought
Nothing says 'The Holidays' like children, sparkles, stars and wishes. I hope every single one of these comes true.
This is a photo i have wanted to take for a long time.

Bat stars.
Colourful bat stars (Patiria miniata) at low tide sit on a barnacle-covered rock, Burnaby Narrows, Gwaii Haanas, Haida Gwaii, BC. This was the most dense collection of bat stars that I saw at Burnaby Narrows, a location famous for its large numbers of bat stars before star fish wasting disease substantially reduced their numbers.

Space can be a cruel mistress, but she is a beautiful one.
As we await the launch of ESA astronaut Matthias Maurer and the return of Thomas Pesquet, let us marvel at the fact that humans live and work in space, an environment so inhospitable to us.
As Thomas nears the end of his six-month mission Alpha on the Space Station, he took this image, noting that living on the International Space Station “really feels like flying on a spaceship into the cosmos… or wait… that’s what we do.”
While astronauts are often pointing their cameras down to Earth, Thomas looked up for this image. “When you let your eyes adapt to the night, you start seeing millions of stars and it’s amazing…there’s also a lot of beauty in the cosmos itself, it’s just harder to see (and to photograph) at first.”
Thanks to collective human intelligence and cooperation, the International Space Station has been a reality for over 20 years, hosting astronauts who run experiments and monitor our planet from above. While launches are quite routine these days, delays happen but that’s the space business.
In that same spirit of partnership, humans are soon returning to the Moon on the Artemis missions, powered by the European Service Module, and preparing to build an outpost in lunar orbit. The Gateway will be a home far away from home and a stepping-stone to our next goal in space, humans on Mars.
Until then, make sure to look up and, like Thomas, savour the view. You’re almost home.

I captured this on a mountain road in Mammoth, CA.
Camera & Lens:
Nikon D 800E - Sigma 14-24 - 2.8
Stars:
MSM Tracker - F 8 - ISO 800 - 90 Sec
Foreground
F 2.8 - ISO 800 - 2 Minutes
There are 4 kinds of stars here:
• The main object is a 22-inch barn star
• A small gold star is attached to the center of the barn star
• One of the barn star points has star shaped cut-outs
• An overhead light projects thru the cut-outs and forms stars on the table underneath
A shot of my parents narrowboat on the Kennet and Avon canal. The clear starry night seemed quite fitting with the name of the boat!
Not one to hang on the wall unfortunately, as there is a lot of noise in the sky, which is not helped by the light pollution. A fun experiment though!
I welcome any constructive comments to help me improve.

Cape Hatteras LIghthouse. Orion standing on his head on the side.
The night sky is exceptionally clear here, especially for sea level. Outer Banks 2012.
This is the lighthouse that was moved in 1999: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cape_Hatteras_Light
It claims to be one of the most photographed lighthouses in the world. There may be some justification for that - the largest Flickr Outer Banks group has 13,000 photos, of those fully 780 return for a search of "Hatteras lighthouse". That's fully 6% plus of all group photos, and there are four other Outer Blanks lighthouses!
