I made this one some time ago, but several others got in the way of it being released. I thought it was appropriately titled for this weekend, when many people have been watching the sky. Fortunately Hurricane Irene appears to have been pretty gentle.

この撮影をした1時間ほど前まではうっすら雲がかかっていたのですが、一気に澄んだ空に変わりました。
シーイングはイマイチでしたけどね。
今回は色収差があるというEDHFを使いましたが、L41というUV成分をカットするフィルターを併用しての撮影です。
カメラのモニター越しではあるのですが色収差は感じませんでした。

NGC3195 is a planetary nebula located in the constellation Chamaeleon. It is the most southern of all the bright sizable planetary nebula in the sky. Discovered by Sir John Herschel in 1835, this 11.6 apparent magnitude planetary nebula is slightly oval in shape, with dimensions of 40×35 arc seconds. The distance is about 5500 light years from the Earth. In hindsight, I shouldn’t have imaged this at 3000mm focal length because the seeing conditions were poor on the night.

Watch it with your looking eyes

Thor (from Old Norse: Þórr) is a prominent god in Germanic paganism. In Norse mythology, he is a hammer-wielding god associated with lightning, thunder, storms, sacred groves and trees, strength, the protection of humankind, hallowing, and fertility. Besides Old Norse Þórr, the deity occurs in Old English as Þunor, in Old Frisian as Thuner, in Old Saxon as Thunar, and in Old High German as Donar, all ultimately stemming from the Proto-Germanic theonym *Þun(a)raz, meaning 'Thunder'.

Photographed from mid-town Toronto, Canada, at 04.55 EST (Moon altitude: 41° | Sun 30° below the horizon)
* Temperature -6° C. ~ warmer than last week!
The Sun reached the December solstice - marking the start of winter in the northern hemisphere and of summer in the southern hemisphere - at 05.44 EST today. The subframes for this image of the Moon were obtained just 49 minutes earlier.
At the time of this photo the Moon had passed its last quarter phase exactly 8 hours earlier, so the Moon was in its waning crescent phase, with the terminator (the dividing line between day and night) already appearing slightly curved. Slightly less than half (actually, 46.7%) of the Moon is illuminated by the Sun in this photo.

Taken through a Sky-Watcher ED 80mm telescope shortly before moonset. 500mm focal length and f/6.75. The image has been cropped heavily.
The appearance of a comet visible to the naked eye this week came as a surprise to many sky watchers. Comet NEOWISE (named after the NASA space telescope that found it) survived a trip around the sun, unlike most dusty iceballs that make up the core of a comet, and began to glow in the eastern night sky in early July.
I first learned of this comet from a Flickr post, which prompted me to rise early the next morning to view it in the twilight sky. I got some decent photos, but was disappointed at missing any foreground interest. The next morning I got up at 3 and took a chance at seeing the comet rise over something of greater interest than city haze, and was fortunate to pick a spot that had distant enough foreground elements to show up well in a tele lens in dim light. The slopes of Grassy Top have wind sculpted trees that seem to delight in pointing to the comet on this morning.
Comet NEOWISE will be visible in the early mornings for the next week, but for those not liking early mornings it will be visible in the NW sky about 90 minutes after sunset after July 12.
