Metéora (em grego: "meio do céu") é um dos maiores e mais importantes complexos de mosteiros do Cristianismo Oriental, superado apenas pelo Monte Ato]. Os seis mosteiros foram construídos sobre pilares de rocha de arenito, na região noroeste da planície da Tessália, próximo ao rio Peneu e às montanhas Pindo, na Grécia central. A cidade mais próxima é Kalabáka.
O maior pico em que se localiza um mosteiro tem 549 metros. O menor, 305 metros.
Composite image of Perseid Meteor Shower - 8/12/2016,
Somewhere between 1am-3am.
Thankfully clouds cleared off for a small amount of time and was able to capture few meteor showers.
Totally worth my sleep.

Taken this morning @ 0600 with the moon setting just before sunrise. I didn't see the meteor until I looked at the LCD. Processing included Nik Silver Efex and a mask to retain the color of the meteor. Also a 1:1 crop and a gradient map in CS5. The illumination on the rock is from an LED headlamp.

It's cloudy and snowing here so I don't think we will get to see the Geminid Meteor Shower tonight, but I did see a few last night. This is looking south from our house to my little home town.
Last night I tried again to get a few shots of the Milky Way over the Hennepin Canal at Lock 11 just north of Tiskilwa, IL. This shot was taken just a few minutes before 1 o'clock this morning when a meteor just happened to streak through the Milky Way right near the galactic center. Of course the shot was pure luck. My camera's shutter just happened to be open for a 15 second exposure.
Despite the almost full moon I managed to capture this meteor and the constellation of Orion , the nebula is visible.
A meteor that was a football field wide hit this mountain range 300 million years ago. The impact of the meteor blasted a bowl in the mountains. The great flat valley that was created, this crater, would become a good place in Appalachia for the modern city of Middlesboro, Kentucky.
Here's another take of the Perseids Meteor Shower. This one is from the very early morning hours, which explains the blue color in the sky.
I didn't include this meteor in the composite I posted earlier as it wouldn't blend very well without a lot of alteration and I really liked how the single meteor plays here. You will also notice that both Mars and the Milky Way had moved well out of the frame at this point.
I hope you all got to see some meteors this year, it was a fabulous show!
The Perseid meteor shower peaks every year between August 11th and the 13th. This year was ideal with the moon setting before midnight and the sky washed clear by an earlier passing front. Around 2AM on the morning of August 12th an unexpected display of the auroras began and lasted for over an hour and a half. Switching gears from meteors to aurora, I was very fortunate to capture a bright Perseid meteor with the auroral display.

Rather cloudy last night for the quadrantid meteor shower, although a short break around 4.00 am enabled me to snap this one.
An interesting stop along Route 66 (actually I-40) is the privately owned Meteor Crater. The crater is a mile wide and 500 feet deep. It is not cheap to visit; general admission is $29. For that price you get to view the crater from two viewing platforms, visit a museum about meteors and craters and sign up for a short guided rim tour.
The day we visited, there were spectacular clouds in the sky. However, I confess I added the lovely sun rays.
Happy Slider Sunday!
From a meadow near Heart Lake on the White River Plateau, at 10,000 feet, I set up the tripod and camera and let the intervalometer do its work. In slightly over two hours it collected 452 star shots, each 15 sec long and from those I picked the 10 best shots containing meteor trails. I used four shots stacked in Starry Landscape Stacker to set the sky. Then layer masks in Photoshop dropped the 10 meteor trails onto the image of the night sky.
The Andromeda Galaxy is visible near the top of the photo, and if Andromeda is the center of a clock, a smaller galaxy is visible nearby at 4 o'clock. The Pleiades is the bright cluster just above the trees on the right. The meteors radiate from the constellation, in the Milky Way at the center of the photo.
At higher resolution one can see that most meteors start glowing green and then change to white, yellow or red.
A 13-frame point-and-shoot "panorama," scanned and then processed on Lightroom. This was a sidetrip off Interstate 40 as we headed to Santa Fe for a wedding.
From the other week in the Blue Mountains. The moon set around 2am so I got out of bed at 3am and walked down to the cliff edge at Katoomba to try to catch some meteors before dawn.
This one was very bright and white to my eyes but surprisingly the camera only captured the golden light. The other two on the left are just satellites.
