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.

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.
The Big Dipper and Little Dipper are asterisms (grouping of stars) in the sky that are not constellations. The Big and Little Dippers are perhaps the most recognizable asterism in the sky, serving as a guidepost for the northerly direction and one's latitude. In this image, the dippers are low near the horizon because I took this image in central Thailand at about 13 degrees north latitude. The North Star is therefore about 13 degrees above the north horizon point.
The Cave Nebula, Sh2-155 or Caldwell 9, is a dim and very diffuse bright nebula within a larger nebula complex containing emission, reflection, and dark nebulosity. It is located in the constellation Cepheus and is approximately 2400 light years from Earth.

The Omega Nebula, also known as the Swan Nebula, Checkmark Nebula, Lobster Nebula, and the Horseshoe Nebula (catalogued as Messier 17 or M17 or NGC 6618) is an H II region in the constellation Sagittarius. It was discovered by Philippe Loys de Chéseaux in 1745. Charles Messier catalogued it in 1764.

I didn't plan to wake up at 3:45 this morning, unable to get back to sleep before my working day started, but some ongoing abdominal pain took charge, and that's what time my day started. Our winter in Sydney, Australia, has been unusually dry this year, and our skies have been clear for weeks now. Since I was forced to be awake, I made the most of things and captured some shots of Jupiter, the Moon and the Pleiades star cluster looking delightful in the pre-dawn sky.
I took this photo with my Canon EOS 6D Mk II camera and a Sigma 35mm f/1.4 Art lens @ f/3.2, using an exposure time of 2.0 seconds @ ISO 200.
IC 2169 is a reflection nebula in the constellation Monoceros.

This is a 44 shot panorama of the Milky Way and the setting Moon at Sugarloaf Rock near Dunsborough in Western Australia, approximately 2.5hrs south of Perth. I shot the foreground with the moon first, to help illuminate the landscape then shot the sky after the Moon had set.

The Moon, at the time of capture, was at its meridian transit but a little high above the horizon (about 25 deg). At this height, any object is affected by atmospheric absorption. The hue is often warmer and a very high definition is not achieved. Normally all the details are softer than in a zenith capture.
