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 ;)
Good night friends, you have been missed. I am trying to get back into photography, dry spell for a few months now.
wednesday evening in Ersfjordbotn,
perfect conditions in the fjord with a great and strong aurora in the nightsky.
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.
First attempt with the Sigma 150-600mm. Looking to start stacking soon, just testing out the focus first. Quite happy with a single image of this so far!

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.

I had only recently purchased some narrow-band filters and was keen to give them a test run; for this, I chose NGC281. The aim was initially to capture data in LRGB along with Ha, OIII, and SII; the telescope and weather had other plans. I hadn’t looked at the data since the initial night, and using a process in Pixinsight inspired by Cuiv’s recent mastering Pixinsight YouTube video, I was able to bring together this HOO image of the nebula; it is a target that I plan to revisit this winter to capture more Ha and OIII, along with LRGB and SII data.
NGC 281, IC 11 or Sh2-184 is a bright emission nebula and part of an HII region in the northern constellation of Cassiopeia and is part of the Milky Way’s Perseus arm. This 20×30 -sized nebulosity is also associated with open cluster IC 1590, several Bok globules and the multiple star B 1. It collectively forms Sh2-184,[3]spanning over a larger area of 40 arcmin.[4] A recent distance from radio parallaxes of water masers at 22Ghz in 2014 is estimated to be 2.82±0.20 kpc. (9200 ly.) from us.[5] Colloquially, NGC 281 is also known as the Pacman Nebula for its resemblance to the video game character. Source: Wikipedia

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.
