Blue Eyes
Elton John
Blue eyes
Baby's got blue eyes
Like a deep blue sea
On a blue blue day
Blue eyes
Baby's got blue eyes
When the morning comes
I'll be far away
And I say
Blue eyes holding back the tears
Holding back the pain
Baby's got blue eyes
And she's alone
Again
Blue eyes
Baby's got blue eyes
Like a clear blue sky
Watching over me
Blue eyes
Ooh I love blue eyes
When I'm by her side
Where I long to be
I will see
Blue eyes laughing in the sun
Laughing in the rain
Baby's got blue eyes
And I am home, and I am home again
Blue eyes laughing in the sun
Laughing in the rain
Baby's got blue eyes
And I am home again

This is a mosaic made up of three panels with an integration of around 35 to 45 hours of exposure.
Caldwell 31, a huge, sprawling nebula spanning five light years and surrounding the ‘Flaming Star’, AE Aurigae, the bright star visible in the upper portion of the nebula. AE Aur (mag. +6) is an runaway star that is thought to have been one of three stars ejected from near the Trapezium in Orion 2.7 million years ago. It’s a class-O hydrogen fusing dwarf that is at least 30,000 times more luminous than our Sun. The nebula and the star lie around 1500 light years away.
The smaller nebula at the top is IC405, commonly known as the Tadpole Nebula for the small ‘tadpole-like’ structures of dense, cooler gas that are being shaped by the intense radiation from the hot stars of the young open cluster NGC 1893, embedded in the nebulosity. It’s just possible to see the tadpoles to the upper right of the largest dark section at the centre of the nebulosity, with the open cluster just above. IC405 lies 12,000 light years away.

The Antennae Galaxies or NGC 4038/NGC 4039 are a pair of interacting galaxies in the constellation Corvus. They are currently going through a starburst phase, in which the collision of clouds of gas and dust causes rapid star formation. NGC 4027 can also be seen down the bottom left of the frame.

The Horsehead Nebula sits in front of IC434 a bright emission nebula in the Orion complex - discovered William Herschel. The emission nebula's orange colour is caused by electrons recombining with protons to form hydrogen atoms. Toward the lower left of the image is the Flame Nebula, an orange-tinged nebula that also contains intricate filaments of dark dust. Emission nebula, NGC2023 just to the lower left of the Horsehead nebula is glowing due to reflecting light of its central star. 20 X 3min exposures using IDAS NBZ narrowband filter.

With the beauty, it does send
To your mind, to your eyes
Watch it fill up your skies
Watch it flow across the lake
As it does slowly make
Love to your mind and your eyes

Conjunction (close approach) of the crescent moon and Venus, seen from Sapporo in the evening of 31 January 2017. Venus's apparent magnitude (brightness) was -4.7, close to the possible maximum, which made it an unmissable object in the sky.
During the first days of March 2025, the waxing crescent moon will join Venus again in the western early evening sky. Watch out!

With thick, fluffy feathers the Great Gray Owl is well-adapted to survive our harsh Canadian winter. Taken from the warmth of my vehicle with the heated seat turned on (I’m not so well adapted some days). It’s been a cold month but we are on the way to Springtime!
A 40 minute drive from home and another 40 minute walk to this old disused Purbeck quarry in the early hours, I'd visited the location during the day to find a composition and then just hoped that sky would stay clear for my return. Some more popular locations can often have other photographers milling around in the dark with head torches shining in all directions don't get me wrong I know that I'm also one of those people but it's always nice to get the place to yourself and wonder at the night sky or early morning sky for that matter.

Last night after a long winded journey I ended up at Beer beach in east Devon to shoot the milky way.
I never tire of Beer beach as it offers various compositional opportunities and is very easy to get too.
This is a blend of a tracked sky and long exposure foreground.
I spent the night under the Pinnacles sky, watching the stars carve their paths across the darkness while rotating around the south celestial pole (SCP). The silence of the desert and the vast expanse above create a surreal atmosphere, making you feel both insignificant and deeply connected to the universe. Capturing these star trails is always a humbling reminder of how small we are, yet how beautiful and intricate the world can be when we take the time to truly look up. Every streak of light is a moment in time, a glimpse into the endless motion of our world.

Another RE Edit of some old data from July 2021 . Carina nebula or Eta Carinae Nebula . Shot with Canon 5Dsr on a Skywatcher Quattro 250P Telescope. 15 x 55 second exposures stacked with Calibration frames . There is so much to see in this area of the sky , I will probably do some crops of this image to zoom in on all the different areas .

Located in the rich part of the sky in the constellation Norma, NGC 6164 (popularly known as the Dragon’s Egg) forms a bipolar nebula. It was created by the ejection of material from a single massive star and is located approximately 4,200 light-years away.
This beautiful nebula has not been around long in astronomical terms. It was formed along with its central star about 3 or 4 million years ago.
