Parque natural de las Hoces del Río Duratón, Sepúlveda, España.

 

El parque natural de las Hoces del Río Duratón es un paraje protegido que comprende el entorno de las hoces que este río tiene en su tramo medio. Estas son el cañón que el Duratón, afluente del río Duero, ha excavado en una zona de roca caliza entre las localidades de Sepúlveda y Burgomillodo (anejo de Carrascal del Río), al noreste de la provincia de Segovia (Castilla y León, España).

 

Este paraje, constituido por el curso medio del Duratón, fue declarado Parque natural el 27 de junio de 1989 por las Cortes de Castilla y León, integrándose con los espacios protegidos de esa comunidad,​ declaración hecha en atención a la importancia de sus ecosistemas naturales y valores paisajísticos. La colonia de buitres leonados establecida en el área protegida está considerada como la mayor de Europa,​tanto por su número, 575 parejas censadas en el año 2003, como por su nivel reproductivo.​ Esta colonia se ha convertido en uno de los principales atractivos del parque.

 

The natural park of the Hoces del Río Duratón is a protected area that includes the environment of the sickles that this river has in its middle section. These are the canyon that the Duratón, a tributary of the Duero River, has excavated in an area of limestone between the towns of Sepúlveda and Burgomillodo (an annex of Carrascal del Río), northeast of the province of Segovia (Castilla y León, Spain) .

 

This place, constituted by the middle course of Duratón, was declared a Natural Park on June 27, 1989 by the Cortes of Castilla y León, integrating with the protected areas of that community, a statement made in response to the importance of its natural ecosystems and landscape values. The colony of griffon vultures established in the protected area is considered the largest in Europe, both because of its number, 575 couples registered in 2003, and because of its reproductive level.This colony has become one of the main attractions from the park.

Imaged the Heart Nebula located in the constellation Cassiopeia. This has been a lower priority target for me in the past but got bumped up once I went mono. I'm glad I was able to get a decent shot of it this year. My camera and scope combo give a good FOV on this faint target. Oiii was extremely faint, but luckily good narrowband processing techniques can mask that well.

I selected M100 but it is very small for my equipment.

The first testimage made with my new Paramount MX+ is done.

 

I had a big change in the software because windows 7 is no longer supported by TheSkyX. Instead of buying Windows 10, I installed Linux Mint. "Kstars Ekos" can be used to control the camera, OAG etc. and TheSkyX is used to control the Paramount. Has worked well so far without Ascom.

...this is one of my oldest images...but i relly love it...i never seen a scene like this before and after in berlin...she was in the park with her husband and kids...they played basketball...suddlendy she went up and through a few balls...luck that i have my camera with me...

...i hope some more people view and like it...

@{-->-- ... thank you all very much my friends...:)))

Looking northwestward at the High Falls of the Pigeon River and the canyon cut in the Rove Formation. Taken from a more distant vantagepoint, a bit farther downstream.

 

This photo more fully shows the falls's local context. At this time of year it seems almost as lushly verdant as a tropical rainforest.

 

Of special interest is the widened plunge pool beneath the dike of Mespeoterozoic diabase. Also note the narrower paths some of the falling water has taken. Together they form a sort of rectangular pattern that reflects the jointing in the rock.

 

The narrow river channel in the foreground is cut in the much softer sedimentary strata—mostly shale and graywacke—of the Paleoproterozoic Rove Formation. These beds were deposited in the Animikie foreland basin associated with the Penokean mountain-building episode.

 

Unlike the equivalent Thomson Formation farther to the southwest, the Rove strata have never been significantly deformed or metamorphosed during the 1.8 Ga of their existence. In fact, they constitute one of the oldest unaltered sedimentary units on this continent.

So here is my new look at the Great Nebula in Orion, this time made with narrowband filters and mapped color. Because the nebula is so bright a good image is possible with only seconds of integration - even in my bright skies here in Phoenix. But because it is so bright, it is also an opportunity to study the detailed structures of the nebula by making very long integrations. So this image was created from nearly 30 hours of integration time over several nights. That cluster of bright, young stars in the blue (oxygen emission) part of the nebula is the Trapezium cluster, the center of a stellar nursery where new stars are being born. These stars are lighting up the entire nebula which is roughly 25 light years in diameter - in angle, about the size of two Moons in Earth’s sky.

 

I feel so lucky that an infinitesimally small fraction of the photons created in this nebula travelled for such a long time (1500 years) through space and found their way into my tiny 6 inch telescope and onto my camera’s sensor. They subsequently produced an electronic signal that was recorded on a bit of silicon and finally rendered into an image viewable by our eyes and brains by even more silicon based devices. This all seems like a miracle to me.

 

And when we look at the image overall we see colors representing the different kinds of atoms in this amazing structure. These colors are not the colors we would see with our eyes if we were in a spaceship close enough to see colors with our unaided eyes. This image was made by assigning red, green, and blue colors to monochrome images made through filters that admit only a very specific color. Those filters are designed to pass photons coming from the atoms of sulfur, hydrogen, and oxygen. In the image here, yellow is a mixture of hydrogen and sulfur, red is mostly sulfur, and blue and shades of blue is oxygen. The molecular clouds and dust in the sky background are mostly a reddish brown.

IC 2944. Running Chicken Nebula, 10 hours and 25 minutes of integration in HSO with Planewave CDK24 610/3962 f 6/5 telescope, QHY 600M Pro camera, are 125 shots of which in Ha 42x300 seconds, in OIII 42x300 seconds and in SII 41x300 seconds, processing with Pixinsight and Photoshop. All data and shots were captured with Telescope Live. IC 2944 (also known as the Centauri Lambda Nebula, sometimes referred to as C 100) is a region of the southern Milky Way in the constellation Centaurus. its distance is about 2000 parsecs (6500 light years) and it is part of the Sagittarius Arm, the closest spiral arm of the Milky Way located more internally than ours.

 

The most well-known feature of this cloud is the presence of some dark cocoons, known as Thackeray's globules; Due to their instability, there would be no active star formation phenomena inside them, while their origin is due to the disruptive action of the radiation of the massive stars present in the region, which over time has eroded an ancient molecular cloud.

 

The galactic environment in which this cloud is found is among the most complex known among the spiral arms of the Milky Way: within a radius of just 500 parsecs from it there are in fact some of the most conspicuous stellar objects and nebulae in the southern sky; among these stands out the Carina Nebula, the massive clusters Tr 14 and Tr 16, as well as the bright cluster NGC 4755, the famous Casket of Jewels, visible in the constellation of the Southern Cross, plus other bright OB associations.

Im Straßenbild sieht man noch Minarette und Moscheen , aber die die meisten wurden einem anderen Zweck zugeführt. Geschichte kann man aber nicht ausradieren und ein friedlicher, harmonischer Mix aus Religionen, Architekturen, Kulturen kann doch nur bereichern.

There are still minarets and mosques in the street, but most of them have been brought to a different purpose. But you can not eradicate history and a peaceful, harmonious mix of religions, architecture, cultures can only enrich

I am taking a different turn in photography.

I love incorporating art with photographs so now I play with my iPad and Laminar software.

Thus allows me to layer my bits and pieces hopefully into a more interesting landscape.

 

"Echoes of Tomorrow" is a visual ode to a future where artificial intelligence and robotics seamlessly integrate with human aspirations. This series delves into the potentialities of architecture, design, and daily life, transformed by the limitless creativity and precision of AI. It captures a world where physical constraints persist, yet human ingenuity is amplified through the vast possibilities offered by technology. These images offer a glimpse into a plausible future where constructions and landscapes are crafted with a detail and scale currently unimaginable - a tribute to the unforeseen ahead.

 

Poem:

In the glow of gilded domes agleam,

Where the wheels of time ignite their spark,

She stands, a relic of a bygone dream,

Gazing forth at dawn's impending arc.

 

She watches robots weave thoughts and steel,

In a choreography of code's own verse,

Where the line betwixt creator and creation

Is blurred in technology's harmonious curse.

 

We don ourselves in dreams' attire,

Forge bridges from lucid streams of data,

In a world where AI's breath infuses life

Into abodes we cherish, ever fonder.

 

Haiku:

Golden domes rise high,

Dreams of AI gently bloom,

New dawn, hope descends.

Located in constellation Orion and at about 6,500 light years from us, NGC 2174 is an emission nebula, rich in hydrogen and oxygen, with an apparent diameter slightly larger than the full moon. Within it, there is a loose star cluster, NGC 2175, with recently born stars. The stellar winds and radiation from these high energetic regions carve the nebula, yielding these beautiful structures.

This design took absolutely forever to finish up. The shaping of the hind legs gave me nightmares until I came up with a way for integrating them onto the body itself.

 

I'm working on the pattern right now! :)
