This is a 22 shot panorama of the Milky Way rising above Buckley's Breakaway near Hyden, 4 hours east of Perth in Western Australia.

This was a tricky one for me. This is a stack of 12 x 3 minute exposures, tracked on an iOptron Sky Tracker. I originally tried stacking this both in DeepSkyStacker and Photoshop, but the results were blurry and not very good. That was because there was a lot of thin, wispy cloud blowing through as I was shooting this.

 

I tried stacking this one again tonight removing all the worse frames where clouds had obstructing too much of the frame. What started as 90 minutes worth of exposure was thereby whittled down to 36 mins. There were still clouds in the other pics, as can be witnessed by the halos around the brighter stars, but overall the amount of cloud was manageable so that median stacking would eliminate most of their effect. Then, rather than my usual method of processing Milky Way images, I used a workflow I'd normally use for deep sky objects. Due to the level of detail captured.

 

And this is the end result. It's not as perfect as I'd like it to be, but overall I'm pretty happy with the final result.

The Crescent Nebula NGC 6888

.

Cygnus alone has so many Deep Sky Objects, you can spend many nights imaging all of them... My scope is a bit small for the Crescent Nebula really, but since there is lots of other nebulosity, I still find the picture quite interesting.

 

Guide graph looked really good last night. A good polar alignment and a well balanced scope/mount do make a huge difference...

I probably do not have to tell you that Tuscany is a photographers paradise in daylight and it is also great at night, as this image from my last visit in May proves.

 

I have been revisiting the Val d'Orcia in Tuscany for four days this week, but this time, I have not done any nightscapes. That's partly because I was on a family vacation, but I could also blame it on the clouds, the moon phase, the season, the outstanding food, the excellent wine or all the cultural highlights of the area we had to visit.

 

Tuscany is a prime candidate for heaven on earth - for almost any reason you can dream up.

A hot and muggy summer night on the Paluxy River in Texas. Summers in Texas are hot, green, clear sky and tough on landscape photography. Best option- go nocturnal and photograph the stars. Here I was set up on rocky ledges on a small river trying to avoid the skeeters. The warm night really pushes the Sony A7R3 and I find it very noisy as a camera in warm weather. Noticeable difference from cold weather.

 

I was using the iOptron Sky Guider Pro star tracker and combining a pair of shots in post to blend sky and ground. Shots were back to back so I do a ground exposure with the tracker off and then a sky exposure with the tracker on.

In many of my posts I describe what is visible in the sky. I am fully aware that it is not easy to 'translate' a written description into an image and therefore decided to do an annotated tour of my last post "Contact".

 

As there is a lot going on in that sky, I will split the tour in two posts. In the first part we take a closer look at the constellations:

 

My main celestial target was Orion (the hunter), found directly above the radio dish. If you look at the constellation lines, it looks like an archer. The bight stars Rigel, Betelgeuze, Bellatrix, Saiph and the famous belt stars make it one of the best known asterisms in the sky.

 

Below the dish, you find Canis Major (the big dog) rising. Its main star is Sirius, the brightest star in our sky (except for the sun).

 

North (above) of Orion lies Taurus (the bull). It is one of the zodiac signs, because the sun passes through it on its apparent yearly path as seen from earth. The main star is reddish Aldebaran. It forms an easily recognizable V-shape with Ain and the brightest Hyades stars.

Further to the west (right) of Taurus you find two more zodiac signs, which are much less conspicuous: Aries (the ram) and Pisces (the fish).

 

South of them are two lesser known constellations that extend the water based theme from the zodiac signs Pisces and Aquarius (not in the image): Cetus (the whale), actually was a sea monster in Greek mythology, and Eridanus (the river).

 

If you follow the Milky Way along the left edge of the image, you can see Auriga (the charioteer), which forms a prominent pentagon with Capella beeing the brightest star. Further north lies Perseus (the hero) which also encompasses the galaxtic plane.

 

Finally, on the very top of the frame, you can find the Triangulum, a pretty obvious choice of name for this small constellation.

La nebulosa del Velo es una nube de gas caliente e ionizado. Es la parte visible del Bucle de Cygnus, también conocido como fuente de radio W78, o Sharpless 103. Es una nebulosa muy extensa y se suele dividir en tres grandes áreas: El velo Oriental: (Caldwell 34) que se halla cerca de la estrella 52 Cygni. El velo occidental (Caldwell 33), y el Triángulo de Pickering Wisp. Se trata del remanente de una supernova relativamente débil en la constelación del Cisne.

 

Los segmentos más brillantes de la nebulosa se enumeran en el Nuevo Catálogo General (NGC) con las designaciones de NGC 6960, 6979, 6992 y 6995. El segmento más fácil de encontrar es 6960, que corre a través de la estrella 52 Cygni. NGC 6979 (la parte central del complejo) es el Triángulo de Pickering

This is a 38 shot panorama of the Milky Way rising above an old farm shed at Walyormouring, 2 hours north east of Perth in Western Australia. I used a screw on hydrogen alpha filter along with my astro modded camera to capture the Ha regions, which are the prominent red regions of the sky, not normally captured using standard cameras.
