This is my cousin Amilcar, a great Harp player which I had the chance to capture him and his harp under the million stars
This is a narrowband SHO image of the Crescent Nebula (NGC 6888), an emission nebula in the constellation Cygnus about 5000 light years from earth. The strong Oxygen III light helps the nebula stand out in the large nebulous region of gas and dust constituting a portion of the Northern Cross.
Slightly above and to the right of the Crescent Nebula in this image is the interesting Soap Bubble Nebula, a small, recently discovered planetary nebula. It looks like a semi-transparent blue bubble. Discovered by an amateur astronomer in 2008, it has been catalogued as PN G75.5+1.7.
This SHO image uses SII, Ha, and OIII narrowband filters. Each filter was captured for a duration of 120 minutes using a Williams Optics Zenithstar 73 telescope and an ASI294MM Pro camera, resulting in a total of 6 hours of imaging. The images were then processed using Pixinsight and Photoshop. The image was captured from Rockwood, Texas under Bortle 1 skies.

Update on my efforts to improve my photography: To advance and learn various art/design principles, I was taught to constantly take many photographs and to get out of my comfort zone. To this end I started to shoot with my smartphone camera in everyday situations. Since I am a parsimonious shooter and uncomfortable with the wide-angle view, this proves to be quite challenging. Nonetheless I face it eagerly. The prospect of shooting a good maybe a better photograph is captivating
This week in SSC:
"Coffee or Tea"
"Photograph anything to do with either one, or both if you like.
Post-process to your heart's content! "
Mostly I'm a coffee lover but I've had periods where I've enjoyed tea too and I've got these cool old tea boxes prove it. I think they might almost be vintage. My son always likes checking the expiration dates on stuff in our pantry when he visits since some things stay in there for quite a while lol. These actually expired in 2008 but they still smell really good and I love the artwork on them.
(I had fun playing around with the post-processing. You can see another pic below.)
And for Sight and Sound, a tiny song with lots of character:
Cat Stevens from his album "Tea for the Tillerman" (1970)
Deep Dream Generator, I could not make my mind up which one to post .... so I posted both you decide, www.flickr.com/photos/33235233@N05/53288417715/in/datepos...
When I shot this photo, in mid-April of 2019, I aimed to make the foreground foliage and the galactic core of the Milky Way seem to be only a matter of metres apart. In reality, that gap from the treetops to the stars, dark dust and gas structures at the centre of our galaxy is around 27,000 light-years. Somewhat closer to us here on Earth is the planet Jupiter–glowing white here through a slight haze that moistened the Autumn air–orbiting our Sun at an average distance of 760 million kilometres.
Due to the way that I lit the foreground, the pine tree that was closest to the camera looks very bright and has taken on the yellow tone that my LED lantern was putting out. I see those golden branches as the petals of a flower, with the taller tree canopy and the band of the Milky Way making up the stellar stamen, dispensing photons of pollen into the night. The location was Big Hill, New South Wales, Australia.
All of that is opinion and art. The facts of the photo are that it was taken with a Canon EOS 6D Mk II camera, a Yongnuo 50mm f/1.4 lens @ f/1.8, using an exposure time of 8.0 seconds @ ISO 6400.

My "Celestial Slingshot" is one of those images that tests your patience and perseverance as a photographer. I had gone out on more than one occasion to attempt this image. Even had the name beforehand.
There are many factors that kept me from getting the image I was envisioning. From getting up at 2am to drive out in the Summer months, to fisherman photo bombing me with their way to early rising headlights. Last night I thought it would be another disaster, as an airplane flew over as I was setting up & left the biggest contrail I have ever seen... right in the middle of my comp. But I waited and it eventually floated out of my frame.
The build up was so long, that I am not even sure how I feel about this image... at any rate here is my Celestial Slingshot!
