A view of the El Sombrerico rock in Almería, Spain, in landscape mode, with the Milky Way right on top of it moments before the moon rising - in fact the reddish glow on the left belongs to the moon.

Una vista de la peña El Sombrerico en Mojácar, Almería, con la Vía Láctea justo sobre esta roca momentos antes de la salida de la luna - de hecho el resplandor rojizo de la izquierda corresponde precisamente a la luna.

Left of the moon is Jupiter the big gas giant rises around 11:40pm C.D.T and is about 4 degrees to the upper left of the moon. So get out this month, because Jupiter is magnificent to view 😊

The Rosette Nebula (also known as NGC 2237 and C 49) is a large, roughly circular H II region located on the edge of a giant molecular nebula in the constellation Unicorn. The nebula has an angular diameter of 1.3° and is located at a distance of 1600 parsecs (about 5200 light years) from the solar system; it is approximately 100 light-years in size. At the center of the Rosette Nebula is a bright open cluster known as NGC 2244; the blue stars of the cluster, forming part of the OB association known as Monoceros OB2, emit ultraviolet radiation, which excites the gas of the nebula leading it to emit red light. The stellar wind from the O and B group of stars is thought to exert pressure on the interstellar cloud causing compression, followed by star formation; in fact, many Bok globules have been observed in the region, believed to be the site of star formation.

I was treated to my first view of the Northern Lights last week on a trip to Lapland, Northern Finland.

The Milky Way's core hovers over Piedras Rojas, Atacama Desert in Chile.

Piedras Rojas is located about 150 km from San Pedro de Atacama and above 4300 meters of altitude. Far from any source of light pollution and accessible by the main road that crosses the Atacama, the sky in this place is certainly one of the most incredible on the planet.

In this image, with only 25 seconds of exposure, we can highlight the quality of the sky at this location for astrophotography, being able to highlight with a good level of detail the nucleus of the milky way and also the nebulae present in this portion of the sky, in addition to the beautiful Air Glow that gives color and brightness to the horizon of Piedras Rojas.

Stacked shot for noise reduction.

Story:

The Atacama sky is considered one of the best in the world for astrophotography for several reasons:

- Altitude: Much of the Atacama Desert is located at an altitude of around 2,400/4000 meters above sea level. The less amount of atmospheric air at this altitude means there is less distortion and turbulence in the atmosphere, which results in sharper, clearer images.

- Climate: The Atacama is the driest desert in the world, with an average of just 15mm of annual precipitation. This means there is little moisture in the air to absorb light and create distortions in the image. In addition, the sky is generally free of clouds, which allows for exceptional visibility.

- Geographic location: Atacama is located in a remote area of ​​Chile, far from city lights and far from bright light sources. This makes the sky much darker and ideal for stargazing.

- Air quality: the air in Atacama is clean and pure, with low atmospheric combustion and little human activity. This means there are fewer particles in the air that could interfere with image quality.

Due to these factors, the Atacama sky is considered one of the best in the world for astrophotography and stargazing. It's an amazing place to capture sharp and stunning images of the night sky, including the Milky Way, nebulae and distant galaxies.

M81 - Bode's Galaxy & M82 – The Cigar Galaxy (March 2024)

Messier 81 (also known as NGC 3031 or Bode's Galaxy/Nebula) is a spiral galaxy about 12 million light-years away in the constellation Ursa Major. M81 is about 95,000 light years across, just a little smaller than the Milky Way galaxy at 100,000 light years across.

Messier 82, a spiral galaxy (also known as, M82, NGC 3034 or the Cigar Galaxy) is also located in Ursa Major. It is about 11.4 to 12.4 million light years from earth and is 40,800 light years across. Known as a “starburst galaxy” due to its exceptionally high rate of star formation, it is about 5 times more luminous than the entire Milky Way with a central region that is 100 times more luminous than our own galaxy. We see M82 from an edge on perspective.

STORY:

Image taken on the last night of my Photo Tour in the Atacama Desert in a swampy area that appears in the middle of the desert, thus attracting a diversity of animals that live in this region.

Centralized in the image is Cerro Colorado, a stratovolcano belonging to the Sairecabur volcanic group.

This image was taken on the last night of my Photo Tour in the Atacama Desert. The temperature in the place, presented by the car's thermostat, was in the range of -7 degrees Celsius, without considering the wind, which certainly gave a thermal sensation of even colder.

The Air Glow, characteristic of the Atacama region, dyed the sky in shades of green, yellow and red, while the Milky Way cloud stood out in the scene, visible in detail in the night of the Chilean altiplano.
