"Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, it's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope, and that enables you to laugh at life's realities."

The Great Andromeda Galaxy, M31, is the closest spiral galaxy to ours - and considered our mirror image. Visible by the unaided eye, from darker suburban skies, it occupies a region of the sky equivalent to almost 6 full moons - about 3 degrees. Between its size and brightness, M31 is easily discernible in even wide field DSLR images of the night sky - even relatively shot exposures without tracking.
Two satellite galaxies of Andromeda are also visible - M110 (top, center) and M32 (below and right of center).
Looks like my sensor needs some cleaning... dark areas in the extended nebulosity (top and left) are likely dust on the sensor.

The Lovell Telescope poking out of the fog. The remaining towers of Fiddler's Ferry (I think) in the background.
Peter and Oleg are looking at holiday photos
OLEG:
What are you doing there Peter?
PETER:
I'm looking over there. I thought maybe I'll see my dear princess Rosie and my best friend Scout in Australia. It's a tel...teo....eh .... binoculars.
You can see very far and big with them. But I saw everything in miniature.
OLEG:
Oh...you mean a telescope.
That's because you were looking into the wrong glass. You have to look at the other side of the telescope. Then, when it's dark, you can see the night sky properly. Australia is too far away, you can't see that with the telescope.
PETER:
I do want to see the night sky, are we going to Middelburg again?
OLEG:
Maybe next holiday
By the way, the statue you're sitting on is Mr Hans Lipperhey
Who invented the telescope in 1608.
PETER:
I think that Mr Hans was certainly very good at learning at school
The University of Manchester's Lovell telescope at Jodrel Bank is the third-largest steerable dish radio telescope in the world at 76.2 m (250 ft) in diameter
Scenic and spontaneous framing of a chacma baboon beside a telescope. Shot with a Canon EOS 700D from Cape of Good Hope.
If I read the map correctly, this is a photo of Telescope Peak,the highest point within Death Valley National Park at 3366m above sea level.
A lightning storm and some rain south-southwest of Kitt Peak puts on a good show with the Steward Observatory 90 inch telescope in the foreground. Viewed from the base of the 4-Meter Mayall telescope.
I'm still practicing my skills on photographing planets. And it's very difficult to focus through a dim image in the viewfinder.
Shot with my Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi and Celestron NexStar 102 SLT telescope
Death Valley's Telescope Peak awaits the warm light of the oncoming sunrise, slowly descending in the desert sky above.
For a short period before dawn you can see the approaching sunrise color descending toward the earth in the sky, while the sky below is still in the cool, blue shadow of the earth's horizon. This effect is maximized directly opposite the soon to be rising sun. Sometimes features in the landscape such as distant ridges and mountain ranges can exhibit that cool lighting, while the sky beyond has those first warm rays of the sun.
There's still an endless supply of beauty in the world. Soon we'll be allowed back out to experience it.
Be safe, Get through this. Learn what you can about virus symptoms, spread, current cases. This map and these statistics are updated daily:

Spoiler alert: known cases jumped from 30,000 to 43,000 from late Sunday afternoon to Monday evening.
Even if this virus doesn't affect you, being a single carrier and passing it along to two or three people can infect thousands in a short period of time. Acting like you have it or may get it saves others' lives. Don't be the next "Typhoid Mary".
Call your legislators' offices. It may often seem like they don't listen to or represent us, but apparently they do monitor public opinion as measured in calls. It's not my place to tell you what to tell them, if you've informed yourself (at the link I just gave and via your own online searches), in aggregate we should be telling them to do the right things.
