Messier 3 (M3 or NGC 5272) is a globular cluster of stars in the northern constellation of Canes Venatici. It was discovered by Charles Messier on May 3, 1764, and resolved into stars by William Herschel around 1784.
This cluster is one of the largest and brightest, and is made up of around 500,000 stars. It is estimated to be 8 billion years old. It is located at a distance of about 33,900 light-years away from Earth.
A globular cluster is a spherical collection of stars that orbits a galactic core as as satellite. Globular clusters are very tightly bound by gravity, which gives them their spherical shapes and relatively high stellar densities toward their centres.

This was all taken as well during the full moon period, as Globular clusters are less affected by moonlight than other Deep Sky objects.
The alpacas look so cute and pretty, but they also make a mess in their barn. I gave them a scoop of their favorite food outside, so I could clean the barn while they were eating. That's Bambi on the left, and Luna.
This weekend was great for astrophotography! I took two nights for this image of Messier 101. The first night, I shot the luminance and second the color data.
After quite some time, I could use two full nights in a row. Unfortunately I had to throw away the first three RGB images, because M101 was a little low in the sky...
But there are still about 12 hours left in the image to play with in Pixinsight :)

I took this last evening as I noticed a rainbow outside but by the time I got upstairs, only a bit could be seen. Later on I heard the local weather presenter use the term 'messy weather'

Friday is baby day and I couldn't resist sharing this sweet image of Charlotte after my son finished feeding her carrots!
God Bless her... she loves to eat!
A view of the Bathing House near Howick, Northumberland just after sunrise. The low tide resulted in all the seaweed being exposed, which can be a bit messy, but it adds texture.

The alpacas all join me in their barn when I arrive to clean it, and often add to the mess while looking at me. I gave Bambi and the others a bowl of grain pellets to get them outside, to make cleaning the floor easier.
A globular cluster in the constellation Serpens. It spans 165 light-years in diameter. Total 9 minutes of exposure.
The light draw my attention and with some moving around creating a double sunstar between the trees...it are these magic moments I love so much during my photowalks.

Shane and Alys always did love doing silly things together... and a messy watermelon eating contest is definitely on that list. It's a much needed break from the chaos of wedding planning.

M15, is a globular star cluster located in the constellation Pegasus containing over 100,000 stars. It is estimated to be around 12 billion years old, making it one of the oldest globular clusters known..
This cluster is approximately 33,600 light-years from Earth with an apparent magnitude of 6.2, making it visible with binoculars or a small telescope under dark skies. It is roughly 175 light-years across with a very dense core, possibly harbouring a central black hole.
It has an absolute magnitude of −9.2, which translates to a total luminosity of 360,000 times that of the Sun. Messier 15 is one of the most densely packed globulars known in the Milky Way galaxy.

I've been looking through my archives at the photos of red squirrels on Brownsea Island that I'd never processed. It would be wonderful to go back one day - much as I enjoy watching grey squirrels, the reds are something special!

I remember someone who meant a great deal to me once said "try to keep things as simple as you can, life will always make them more complicated". He was right. Life is messy. But sometimes it's in the mess that you find the most beautiful things.
It's a messy shot isn't it, but I find something alluring in the snowy disused train track disappearing through the winter woods. I could have done with a beautiful bride in white walking down it or a white unicorn coming down the 'avenue', but nope, it wasn't going to happen. I just got this, a jumble of straggly young trees competing to grow tallest first. I kept thinking I heard a piercing steam whistle and had to check behind me to make sure there wasn't a ghost train rattling down the track. Can't be helped I'm afraid
