Acquired remotely from T08 wide-angle scope in Siding Springs Observatory, Australia. Field of view here is just under 4 degrees - about 7 moon-widths.
Subs processed by me in Limavady, Northern Ireland.
Minolta XD, MD 50/1.2, Reala.
Found it under the tree, it smelled and tasted so much better than the sold ones -- though I suspect it could be just my illusion, you know, the reverse version of "sour grapes"..
A ver qué os parece esta versión libre que he hecho de este solitario árbol. Ya sabéis, experimentando con la tecnología.
Female LESC, just like me. I was out looking at Brown's Ferry that had a bunch of breeding plumage male Ring-Necked Ducks, a few female Lesser Scaup, maybe one female Ring-Necked Duck, and no male Lesser Scaup. This was making me wonder seriously about my ID abilities, so I ran the pix by the What's this Bird group and they identified them they way I had. So I guess it's true. I wonder if all the male Lesser Scaup were chatting up the female Ring-Necked Ducks elsewhere in the vicinity. "Hey, we're all aythya..."
Thought a mono version of “Cloudy" was worth posting, i like the inky clouds. A7II/70-200mm.
Press L for a larger and nicer view :-)
Two Magellanic Clouds and huge G-shaped red emission of Gum Nebula are in the frame.
The Magellanic Clouds were visible easily at the dark site, but they were lower than south pole in May. The right lower corner was around 8 degree above horizon at the end of the session, and stars floated and moved while exposure due to refraction effect of thick layer of air.
A researcher of galactic astronomy asked me something on the image of Messier 31, and he kindly suggested that something is visible in this Magellanic Clouds photo. I dug blue channel of the photo deeper, until I got some traces of Magellanic Bridge.

Collage done inside a ruled, soft cover Moleskine; images are scans from books I had as a child (the background is the Dendera Temple complex in Egypt, the various minerals are from the DK Eyewitness Book Crystal & Gem); quote is by Sylvia Plath.
The other scan was bothering me night and day so I had to scan one where the bottom wasn't cut off.
