The Veil Nebula is a cloud of heated and ionized gas and dust in the constellation Cygnus.

It constitutes the visible portions of the Cygnus Loop, a supernova remnant, many portions of which have acquired their own individual names and catalogue identifiers. The source supernova was a star 20 times more massive than the Sun which exploded between 10,000 and 20,000 years ago. At the time of explosion, the supernova would have appeared brighter than Venus in the sky, and visible in daytime. The remnants have since expanded to cover an area of the sky roughly 3 degrees in diameter (about 6 times the diameter, and 36 times the area, of the full Moon). While previous distance estimates have ranged from 1200 to 5800 light-years, a recent determination of 2400 light-years is based on direct astrometric measurements. (The distance estimates affect also the estimates of size and age.)

The Hubble Space Telescope captured several images of the nebula. The analysis of the emissions from the nebula indicate the presence of oxygen, sulfur, and hydrogen. The Cygnus Loop is also a strong emitter of radio waves and x-rays.

Elephant’s Trunk Nebula (IC1396), 08/18/2020

 

This was a fun night and an unexpected result. I took my equipment out to my favorite dark sky location to camp and capture photons. I was looking forward to showing off my hobby to my wife and some friends who were camping as well. I got my gear setup and took my first capture, but the frame was very faint and unexciting. Kind of boring. Oh well. Everything else was going well so I decided to stick with it and see. The next day I did a quick stack and process and DAMN there was a ton of detail there after all! I did not quite get the framing right but that only means I have a reason to try this one again.

 

I don’t know how someone saw an elephant trunk when looking at this but hey you discover it, you get to name it I guess. It is found in the constellation of Cepheus and is about 2,400 light-years from us. The “trunk” itself is over 20 light-years long. In 2003 several very young stars where discovered in the circular cavity in the tip of the trunk. The stellar wind from these hot young stars may have carved out this hole.

Nel tentativo di riprendere l'effetto lente gravitazionale denominato SDSSJ0851+3331 (in basso a sinistra rispetto al centro dell'immagine) ho raccolto 22 ore e mezza sulla galassia NGC2683, soprannominata "Galassia UFO". E' una galassia a spirale distante circa 25 milioni di anni luce nella costellazione della Lince. La lente non si vede ancora, l'anno prossimo cercherò di dedicare ulteriore tempo di integrazione per renderla evidente.

Tewkesbury, Québec, Canada - Automne 2016

 

Here is a very special picture, which requested a bit of luck to get the aurora and time for the star trails. The view is from the church in Tewkesbury, north of Quebec City. The northern lights have been slow to show up. From the beginning of the evening, I started a time lapse. My camera captured a photo every 20 seconds from 9:30 pm until 2:00 am. By stacking the pictures, I got the circular star movement effect caused by the rotation of the Earth.

---

Voici une photo bien spéciale, qui a demandé un brin de chance pour avoir les aurores et beaucoup de temps pour les trainées d'étoiles. La vue est celle de l'église à Tewkesbury, au nord de Québec. Les aurores ont mis du temps à se pointer le bout du nez. Dès le début de la soirée, j'ai démarré un timelapse. L'appareil a donc capturé une photo toutes les 20 secondes de 9h30 jusqu'à 2h du matin. En empilant toutes les photos, nous obtenons l'effet circulaire produit par la rotation de la Terre. Au centre de ce cercle, nous retrouvons l'étoile Polaire.

 

À bientôt,

Fred

Psychic TV & Cult Of Youth @ Club Zal, SPb, Russia, 30.10.2016

 

Psychic TV полностью сыграли новый альбом Alienist (2016), где внезапно есть каверы на The Creation - How Does it Feel To Feel? и малоизвестного у нас (точнее вообще неизвестного) Harry Nilsson - Jump Into the Fire (этот Гарри уже умер, но считается пионером экспериментов с overdub).

 

Начали концерт флагманы Sacred Bones — Cult Of Youth, и они мне нравятся до сих пор, ребята не растеряли бодрости духа, например — спасибо что вернулись, надеюсь они в процессе реализации новых идей, и скоро мы увидим их очередную пластинку.

 

Между прочим, та самая Jenny Hval выпускается тоже на Sacred Bones, и она их новый локомотив.

 

Программу PTV в СПб можно условно поделить на две части — сначала Alienist, и отдельно я бы отметил четыре последних песни, по 10 минут (всё как я люблю), начиная с Greyhounds of the Future — это тот самый трек, когда котек остаётся на сцене совсем один, и в середине песни начинает шаманить с наложениями и лупами. Очень люблю и эту их бесконечно длинную балладу Burning The Old Home, а-ля The Doors. На финальный трек (Suspicious) к PTV вышли Cult Of Youth, и на этой позитивной ноте двухчасовой шабаш завершился — мне кажется всем понравилось.

 

Жаль PTV не сыграли Silver Machine (Hawkwind) / Mother Sky (Can), как на Roadburn 2013, или SKIF 2012, и видимо в этой жизни я так и не дождусь живого исполнения Godstar. Супераншлага у нас не было, зал заполнился процентов на 70 (скорее меньше), при цене билетов ~2500. Поначалу были небольшие траблы с саундом, что удивительно для этого места, которое я всегда хвалил — и у PTV и у COY что-то коротило, насколько я понял, из-за штекера на полу, но специально обученные люди незаметно вышли на сцену, и к счастью в итоге всё починили.

 

Ребята выставили разный мерч, но мне больше всего понравилась худи OS звукаря PTV — с отличным лого Psychic TV, но он так и не догадался мне её подарить. Кстати, в Sala Apolo Barcelona, 30 мая 2016, их лайв был сильно короче, а Neil Andrew Megson с тех пор слегка похудел — это наверное хорошо, так что пожелаем ему успехов и держаться там!

The North American Nebula is a red emission nebula situated in the constellation Cygnus. Its name comes from its uncanny resemblance to the continent of North America. It is an area of new star formation in our Milky Way Galaxy. The nebula is composed of hydrogen gas and interstellar dust. It glows red because nearby stars stimulate the hydrogen gas to glow with their intense radiation from those stars striking the gas.

 

The nebula is located about 1,600 light-years from Earth. The distance across the widest span of the nebula is about 100 light-years. This is an enormous object considering the comparison that the distance from the Sun to the nearest star is about 4 light-years.

 

A Canon XSi camera with a Canon EF 200mm lens set to f/4 and an Astonomik Clip LPS filter were used to capture the image. The camera was set at ISO 1600. The camera was mounted on an Astrotrac computerized tracking mount. 60x60sec Lights were taken. No Flats were used. Post-processing was accomplished with DSS and GIMP.

I finally got DSS (DeepSkyStacker) working :-)

These are the first two real attempts of some deep sky objects.

New pictures of the Triangulum Galaxy and new processing skills. I'm pretty happy with how this turned out.

Veil Nebula NGC 6992

Taken at Calstar 2012 on the nights of September 13 and 14 while I was waiting for other targets to rise.

 

Heavily cropped due to poor framing. I would have liked to include more of the original mosiac, but the amp glow on the edge makes it difficult to smooth out these errors.

 

Stack of 21 subs of 10 minutes at 400 ISO using the cooled, full-spectrum Pentax K10D on the Stellarvue SV4 telescope at prime focus. Temperature range varied from 24-29C so I had to match darks with groups according to temperature. 100 total darks used to correspond to the range.

 

Stacking done with DSS 3.3.3 beta 47. PI 1.7 used to crop, annotate, apply DBE, masked stretch, and some NR. Final step in LR3.

 

I probably will return to this data set to see if I can reduce the size of the stars. There was some trailing caused by PEC and poor polar alignment.

The image shows the Rosette Nebula. It is named Rosette because it resembles a red rose to some degree. It is a cloud of dust and hydrogen gas located in interstellar space. It glows red because highly energetic radiation from nearby giant stars stimulates the hydrogen gas to glow. New stars are being formed in this nebula.

 

The image was taken with a Canon XSi 450D (Honis modified) camera and a 100mm lens. The camera was mounted on an Astrotrac DSLR tracking system. 88x1 min images were combined in DSS to make a single final image. The final image was refined in Photoshop CS5 to enhance the colors, contrast, and intensities. The image was captured in Reston, VA under light polluted suburban skies in a Bortle red zone.

New version of IC1848 with new material. The cooled monochrome camera increases the image quality considerably.
