...silver surfing on planetary rings...
#MacroMondays
#Sphere
For lack-of-time reasons, I once again stayed in my comfort zone for our theme "Sphere" and picked beads I knew would look nice in a macro setting. Still, I wanted to make them look a little more interesting than just with a clear reflection (like last time, please see the first comment).
So at some point, I started playing around with my latest improvised reflector find, the lid of a "Vintersaga Ginger Thins" box (I wonder where the tin itself is; certainly not eaten like the delicious cookies).
I held the lid, silver-coloured inside up, behind the small scene (from the right; lights used: flat natural light photo lamp from above, LED flashlight placed at an angle from the left behind the beads; and two warm light LEDs from the left and right, slightly from below). What I got was, at first, a diagonally split background of silver and black, which looked nice. But when I kept moving the lid, I also got this wavy reflection that I thought looked even nicer.
The little scene reminded me of four moons, "meeting" for a special constellation on the rings of their mother star, off on a surfing spree.
I used in-camera focus stacking (15 images max.), but combined the single photos in Helicon Focus (method B, R21, S4).
HMM, Everyone! I will catch up with you later!

Standing by the sea, I look out into infinity.
My gaze sweeps from left to right, and I can see almost 180 degrees. With my own eyes, I can observe the curvature of the horizon. I’ve come face to face with the planet.
It does something to you, to see it with your own eyes, this incomprehensible scale of the ocean. It's liberating. You let go of left-brain knowledge and lose yourself in awe.
Our ancient ancestors all the way back to the first animals have been seeing oceans just like this, and if there are other living worlds out there, they may have similar watery expanses.
Standing by the sea, I feel the oneness of it all. I feel connected to eternity.

About 10,000 years ago, a star exploded and died here. The Helix Nebula, also known as the Helix or NGC 7293, is a large planetary nebula in the constellation Aquarius.
Karl Ludwig Harding, probably discovered it before 1824 and it is one of the closest objects to Earth among the planetary nebulae, about 700 light years from our Earth. Sixteen hours of exposure from El Sauce Observatory in Chile (TelescopeLive) and image processing with my interpretation of 178 raw images in PixInsight and PhotoShop.
Absolutely thrilled to photograph Venus, Jupiter and Mars this morning! We had hazy cloud but could still make out Mars with the naked eye ;0)
And wonderful to have this photograph featured amongst so many fantastic captured from around the world!

Keep looking up!
a faint and ancient planetary nebula located in the constellation Camelopardalis, also known as the Giraffe. With an expansive diameter of over one light-year, HFG1 is the remnant of a dying star that has shed its outer layers. Due to its age, it is relatively diffuse and faint, making it a challenging target for observation. The nebula is of particular interest due to the binary system at its core, consisting of a white dwarf and a companion star, which produces a prominent wake as the system moves through space.
Nearby, Abell 6 is another planetary nebula, cataloged in George Abell’s survey of planetary nebulae. Like HFG1, it is located in Camelopardalis, though it is visually smaller and slightly younger. Abell 6 is known for its spherical structure and distinct shell of ionized gas. Both HFG1 and Abell 6 offer unique insights into the late stages of stellar evolution, contributing valuable data for astronomers studying the life cycle of stars.

taken from my backyard in April/May 2021 telescope session , from two hundreds sub frames I choose 90 the best x 120 seconds exposure time each for stacking and processing in PixInsight .Thanks for looking :) I used my home build Newtonian telescope with QHY268C camera and Optolong UV/IR Cut filter . thanks for looking .
