Astronomy and Space Science - For Explorers of All Ages

And so thanks to the incredible generosity of my best friend Vera (Professional Voice Actor - Click Here ), I got a loan to get me the Tamron 150-600mm G2 A022 Telescopic Lens, of which I trialled this morning, after waking far too early. It had occurred to me after receiving the lens I could use the full focal length and zoom in on garden pots, flowers and other blooms that are on balconies and out of reach areas, but look really good. So hence I leaned over my balcony and got this shot of a beautiful Night Sky Petunia, I actually came up with the title before I had ID'd the flower.
But now I have an ear worm of Metallica's cover of Astronomy from the Garage Days album playing in my head, so now with this massive, professional lens, I can now play with the big Boys and Girls! I've more shots on the way, stay tuned!
In the meantime, it's Friday so enjoy the weekend people and as always, thank you! :)
PS: Zoom in ;)

Beneath the Ancient Skies of Atacama
A moment of connection between Earth and the cosmos at Hierbas Buenas, one of the most remarkable archaeological sites in the Atacama Desert.
Above, the southern Milky Way shines in all its glory, revealing glowing hydrogen clouds, dark dust lanes, and billions of distant stars.
The milky way in the beginning of summer. The light come from a car near the road, in the opposite of the field. Canon EOS 760d + Samyang 16mm f2.
Probably my sharpest moon shot ever. Seeing conditions were quite good in Luxembourg on the 19th of february. Gear: C11 & 3x barlow lens. The luminance data comes from my ASI 1600mm pro equipped with an infrapass-filter while the colour was recorded with my ASI 178mc. Increased saturation to hightlight the mineral composition of the surface.

With an elaborate, and accurate, illusion created for the Hogwarts Astronomy class, many a student was literally starstruck at the sight. Caspian and Marigold, of course, ended up taking some time to enjoy a quiet moment to observe after class was over.
Horsehead and Flame nebulae shot in three sessions across two years (in 2021 - 2022). Preprocessed in APP and Pixinsight and post-processed in Lightroom.
250 minutes total exposure time.

Le stelle della via Lattea scorrono lente sopra gli alberi, mentre le nebulose rosse cominciano ad apparire in questa lunga esposizione di 60 secondi con inseguitore.
In basso a sinistra si vedono le Pleiadi, un ammasso di stelle nella costellazione del Toro, mentre poco sopra, verso il centro dell'immagine, spicca la nebulosa California, di colore rosso.

Waning gibbous phase with about 98% illumination.
The surface still appears almost entirely bathed in light, only a few hours after the Full Moon.
At this stage, contrasts remain relatively soft, but the terminator gradually begins to reveal more relief, allowing craters and lunar formations to appear with greater depth…

La chaîne de Markarian est un ensemble de galaxies appartenant à l'amas de la Vierge. Elle est nommée d'après Benjamin Markarian qui a découvert qu'elles étaient animées d'un mouvement commun. La chaîne comprend huit galaxies dont M84 (NGC 4374), M86 (NGC 4406), NGC 4477, NGC 4473, NGC 4461, NGC 4458, NGC 4438 et NGC 4435. D'autres galaxies sont visibles dans le champ visuel mais ne font pas partie de cette association. (Wikipedia).
