The data for this Narrowband 10,P mosaic of SH2-115 and Abell 71 was shot at my Home observatory in Valencia and in Sicily by Carmelo.

SH2-115 an emission nebula. It is approximately 7500 light years away. Also featured in this image is the Planetary Nebula Abell 71.

By combining the data from these two very different telescopes the fast refractor telescope and Carmelo’s 16″ home build RC, we were able to benefit from the two very different optical systems.

The central element in this photo is a single dandelion seed with a water drop sitting in the centre of it.

 

This one turned out better than I expected. I was shooting with the setting sun directly behind the seed head.

 

I like how the sun in the lower right, the big drop, and the weird, colorful area of bouncing light in the lower left form a trio of elements in the classic pyramid. Not sure what's happening in the lower left. Almost looks like a visualization of data. Hmmm...that's what a digital photo is after all...

 

I shot this macro with my Casio EX-F1 through reversed 10x Celestron binoculars. Pretty awkward. Good optics though.

I know it is coming, and I do not fear it, because I believe there is nothing on the other side of death to fear. I hope to be spared as much pain as possible on the approach path. I was perfectly content before I was born, and I think of death as the same state. I am grateful for the gifts of intelligence, love, wonder and laughter. You can’t say it wasn’t interesting. - Roger Ebert

  

Today I re-read one of my favourite articles, "I do not fear death" by Roger Ebert. He talks about riding the celestial locomotive, and even though I'm sure this concept has been done many times before, today felt like a good day to give it a whirl :-)

This image is a stacked composite of 6 individual frames (20 secs, ISO 6400, ƒ/2.8, 14mm) which were captured down at Roches Point located at the east entrance to the Cork Harbour.

 

RAW files were processed using Adobe Lightroom and then stacked using Starry Landscape Stacker for noise reduction.

Conditions for this Milky Way Panorama workshop were already good and on this last night at Delicate Arch, we were super fortunate to see Aurora Borealis. But this was just the prelude… the real show got started soon after this sequence was captured. What a thrill that was!

 

My training partner, Darren White and I have just two more big events to go and we'll wind up our 2017 workshop season. With arcing Milky Way panoramas and Aurora Borealis and a cloud inversion and a big boatload of awesome students, this season was one for the history books! If you weren't part of the incredible experience this year, make sure to stay tuned for the 2018 schedule when it's released on December 1st from NightPhotographyWorkshop.com.

Happy Fence Friday!This quaint and neatly decorated barn and fence was found tucked away behind the Stony Point Elementary School in Albemarle County, Virginia.

Celestial: positioned in or relating to the sky. Or outer space as observed in astronomy. 4/12/25 Gainesville Florida

The cloudy Florida night made getting a shot of the Super Moon difficult. Shot on July 12th 2014.

Here is lower right-hand section of the Milky Way Galactic Core together with the colourful Rho Ophiuchi Nebular Complex. This was taken two nights ago at our favourite astrophotography shooting location in Beckwith Township about 30 kms west of Ottawa.

I felt a little wild and crazy this morning so I went a little nuts with the colour intensity! Enjoy!

Il cielo era di un blu notte e la luna sembrava giacere su di esso come una ninfea che galleggia seguendo una corrente invisibile.

 

Willa Sibert Cather

 

... se vi capita di guardare la luna nel cielo, in quei momenti a metà fra luce e buio, la potete sentire galleggiare nello spazio sospesa... così lontana, ma così vicina.
