M103 is an open cluster of stars in the constellation of Cassiopeia over 7,000 light years away. The bright red star in the middle of the photograph is a red giant. The bright blue star to its right is a double star, that is to say these two stars orbit each other.
Fifty four 20 sec exposures at ISO3200 taken with a Nikon D300 were merged to create this image.
Very late tonight, I added the last few odds and ends from my drive SW of the city three days ago.
On 28 July 2020, it was so hot and we were under a Heat Warning! My place was unbearable and I just had to get out for a short drive so that I could be in an air-conditioned vehicle. The weather forecast was for sunshine. While I was driving along the country backroads, the temperature was 31°C. When I got back to the city, it was 33°C (91.4°F). The Heat Warning remained for the following day, too, but has been lifted since then, though we are continuing to have hot days.
My hope was that maybe it would be cooler in the forest. However, it didn't seem to make any difference and my walk left me feeling exhausted for a while. Not far into the forest, I thought I heard what sounded like very quiet thunder, but then I thought it might have been a small plane flying over. When I was almost at the point where I was going to turn around, it started to rain, fortunately only lightly. Once parts of the trail get wet, they turn muddy very quickly.
Though it is still early for the mushroom season, I thought I would check to see if anything was growing. There was very little to be found. The leader of our small fungus group had recently said that he was finding practically nothing anywhere, other than Boletes. He reckons that the very cold winter that we had has probably caused this. As far as rain goes, we have had almost endless rain this spring and summer, so I was feeling hopeful. Maybe things will improve - last year, 2019, was absolutely amazing fungi-wise.
There were very few birds to be seen, but they were probably trying to shelter from the heat.
M53, due north of our galaxy core, this is the most northern galactic globular cluster; it is approximately 60,000 light years away. I made this image by using DSS to stack 99 of the frames that I captured yesterday using a Canon EOS 60D mounted onto a Skywatcher 200 reflector

M5 is a globular cluster about 24,500 light-years from Earth seen in the constellation Serpens. It spans 165 light years and contains between 100,000 and 500,000 stars depending on different estimates. Not only is it one of the larger globular clusters known, at 13 billion years old it is also one of the older globulars associated with the Milky Way Galaxy. Taken on 9th March 2015 - 57 x 15 second exposures at 6400 ISO plus 10 dark frames and 8 flat frames.
I obviously use a format to take most of the shots of my records. Reason being that I'm prinarily documenting them as opposed to trying to compose good pictures. However, I could not get my cheap camera to focus on these covers so I resorted to this.
Explored at#493, thank you
A shot from my weekend at Aston Rowant.
I like this one because it has no antennae out of focus.
I was told that it was Chiltern Gentian, but Tico has put me right, and I've looked in
my flower book to check. Tico wins again.
