Aujourd’hui c’est un grand jour à bord de l’ISS : un peu comme un matin de Noël, on est tous très excités par l’arrivée du cargo NG-16. Il a fallu bien plus qu’un traineau pour nous apporter le Cygnus le plus lourd jamais envoyé vers l’ISS ! Lancé par une fusée Antarès, il transporte plus de 3 700 kg de ravitaillement et d’expériences scientifiques. Il nous poursuit depuis 2 jours, durant lesquels on s’est occupé de préparer sa capture et son arrivée. Megan et moi l’avons attrapé à l’aide d’un bras robotique de 17 m de long, piloté depuis une station avec vue panoramique sur la Terre… parfois mêmes les films de science-fiction n’ont pas un scénario aussi ambitieux ! On est toujours tellement concentrés que parfois j’ai besoin de faire un pas en arrière pour me rappeler à quel point ce qu’on fait ici sort de l’ordinaire, et combien d’efforts et de gens talentueux ça mobilise 👏

Today was a great day on the International Space Station: just like Christmas, we are excited to open our latest delivery 🎅 It took more than Santa’s reindeer to get the heaviest ever Cygnus cargo ship up here though. Launched atop atop a two-stage Antares rocket, and carrying more than 3,700 kg of cargo, this spacecraft spent two days chasing down our orbital outpost before Megan and I brought it in using a 17-m robotic arm piloted from a panoramic window overlooking Earth. Even science fiction film scenarios are not that bold sometimes!!! I often have to take a step back to realise just how unbelievable what we do up here is, and how much effort and talent so many brilliant colleagues put in for days like today to happen 👏

Please, visit my blog for more info about my photo, www.astroanarchy.blogspot.fi/2015/11/filaments-of-cygnus-...
Natural color composition from the emission of ionized elements.
This palette is very close to a visual spectrum.
As usually, I reprocessed the two frame mosaic of Cygnus filaments. The color balance and stars are better now and more details are visible. This area in Western Cygnus is rarely imaged since it has a low surface brightness and more attractive targets are nearby.
A pair of Whooper Swans takes a break outside my house, before going north for breeding and nesting.
The Cygnus Loop (a.k.a. Veil Nebula) in the constellation Cygnus, the remnants of a supernova explosion in which a star blew itself apart after exhausting its primary nuclear fuels.
A mosaic of 72 exposures, 300 sec. each in six overlapping fields in the light emitted by hydrogen gas. Explore Scientific ED102 0.1m f/7 refractor, Stellarvue 0.8x reducer/flattener, ZWO ASI294MC camera, 7nm H-alpha filter, iOptron CEM25P mount, ASIAir controller, autoguided. Processed in Astro Pixel Processor and Lightroom.
Here is a small clip of a massive panorama of the northern summer Milky Way that I am in the process of composing. This clip is of the Northern Cross, an asterism in the constellation Cygnus. This area is almost directly overhead in August and September skies in northern latitudes. The panorama under construction consists of 9-minute exposure (9 x 1 minute) using a Canon 100mm f/2.8 lens and Canon 6D camera.
Male Mute Swan. The UK's largest and heaviest flying bird - unless you consider the reintroduced Great Bustard, which I don't.
There are not many places that you can be at eye level with a flying swan. I was stood on the high bank as he flew along the river.
|t can be very challenging to get a 'different' shot of a Mute Swan, floating on the river in the middle of the day doesn't cut it - but on a misty morning or golden evening light they can look amazing. When they are defending their territory and looking for a mate in the spring things can get very interesting!
In the 'old' DSLR days getting eye focus on such a large bird would have been quite difficult and the AF would have probably jumped onto the background as he flew past the trees.
Whooper Swan, juvenile. They have been capable to fly a few days already.
Comeback of Whooper Swan is a remarkable success story in Finland. Once almost distinct due to shootists and egg-collectors but now breeding in whole country estimated population beeing 5000-7000 breeding couples. Population as a whole may be 15000-25000 individuals when immature birds are counted.

Die Schwäne (Cygnus) sind eine Gattung der Entenvögel (Anatidae). Schwäne sind die größten aller Entenvögel.
Taken at Attenborough NR, Attenborough, Nottinghamshire.
We started off at Warren Hills In Leicestershire which is quite close to the highest point in the county. It was so cold and windy with hail/snow showers we decided to relocate to Attenborough as we saw not a single bird.
Since arriving and joining the resident mute flock it has become very habituated allowing very close views, I spent most of my time going backwords to fit the whole bird in!
Snapped at the Cromford Canal at it's junction with Whatstandwell Railway Station.
Swans are very much like customs officers, they have very little in the way of a sense of humour or friendliness combined with a propensity to hiss a lot when they feel threatened.
Which, having no swan food with me, is why I took this with the Tamron 18-270mm :))

Elle peut sembler monochrome vue de loin, mais la Station spatiale internationale est en réalité très colorée. Sur le panneau solaire du Cygnus que vous aviez peut-être reconnu - depuis le temps 😉 - toutes les teintes de rouge s’affichent au milieu du jaune !
Another colourful zoom on Space Station hardware, you should be able to know what this is by now, the Cygnus solar panels photobomb many of our pictures, but it is fine, they are so beautiful! :) ☀☂

The Mute Swans parents are still incubating the eggs and tending over the nest. There are now several nest sites around Lake Morton in Lakeland Florida U.S.A.

Shot from the summit of Haleakala, I took this short integration while on a work trip for the ATLAS telescope. The bottom of the frame is the left side of the Pleiades shot that I also took this trip, and for comparison purposes it appears the planar misalignment is still off with either the camera or lens (unknown at this point).

Deneb is the brightest star at the top with the outline of the North America Nebula visible to the right of the image.
