The crystal sphere - Valued for seeing the future but I'm happy seeing the present. The glass ball is like a converging lens giving a lovely distortion with all lines pointing to the center. Like being in the middle of a snow globe or rather sun globe. The image is flipped so the scene in the ball is right side up, feels better this way.

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 .
On Friday, June 12, a spectacular planetary alignment took place just after sunset:
• Venus (top)
• Jupiter (below Venus — and if you zoom in on the photo, you can spot two of its moons: Ganymede and Callisto)
• Mercury (bottom)
• Earth 😉
Photographed in the Negev Desert.

From an APOD text summary
This pretty cosmic cloud lies some 1,500 light-years away, nested securely within the boundaries of the southern constellation Fornax. Recognized as a planetary nebula, it spans about 3 light-years with its shape and colour being reminiscent of a blue robin's egg. NGC 1360 doesn't represent a beginning though. Instead it corresponds to a brief and final phase in the evolution of an aging star. In fact, visible in this image is the central star of NGC 1360 is known to be a binary star system likely consisting of two evolved white dwarf stars, less massive but much hotter than the Sun. Their intense and otherwise invisible ultraviolet radiation has stripped away electrons from the atoms in the surrounding gaseous shroud. The predominant blue-green hue of NGC 1360 seen here is the strong emission produced as electrons recombine with doubly ionized oxygen atoms.
Thanks for looking.

Little water drop planets on an orchid, Denver Botanic Gardens.
13 images, focus stacked.
For those of you who have been asking, focus stacking involves taking a bunch of pictures with minute focus adjustments on each. I start with the front edge in focus and work my way back. You then use a program, like the excellent Zerene Stacker, to automatically align them. There's a bunch of cleanup to do afterward, also in Zerene Stacker.
This is an image of the beautifully bright planet Venus, our nearest planetary neighbour. The image was captured during the evening of the 22nd February blazing in the southwestern sky. The planet is residing in Pisces.
The planet was just over 20% illuminated giving this beautiful waning crescent. The phase will continue to wane over the coming days (together with a dwindling opportunity to capture cloud shading!), although its apparent size will increase, as it heads towards solar conjunction.
Some delicate, subtle shaded cloud areas are visible together with the characteristically brighter poles of the planet.
This is a false coloured image obtained by using a UV pass filter to capture some cloud areas within the dense atmosphere of Venus. This filter was used in conjunction with an IR pass filter to give the final image.
Imaged with a Celestron C11 and a ZWO 290MM camera using a Baader U filter and 685nm IR pass filter.
thanks for looking!
As I was picking flowers, I noticed a tunnel hidden in the tall shadows. Translucent rays of grain nourishing my iris.
I had to plunge my hand into it to feel what stayed behind.
The shadows swallowed it to reappear floating in the emptiness surrounding a distant planet.

Also known as Caldwell 27 and Sharpless 105. NGC6888 is an emission nebula in the constellation of Cygnus (The Swan), it formed from the fast stellar winds from star HD 19263 (Wolf-Rayet/WR136) colliding with and energizing the slower moving winds ejected by the star when it became a red giant around 400,000 years ago and the result is a shell of two shock waves, one moving outward and the other inwards. There is also a very faint reflection nebula in some areas. NGC6888 is 5,000 light years distant with a 10th magnification.

There is combination of two photos (difference about 12 hours) - night sky, milky way photo and blue-footed booby photo. Both photos done on Isabela Island.
Southern Cross and Milky Way Dark Constellations of the Incas are visible on the photo. Also you can see red airglow (also called nightglow) - faint emission of light by a planetary atmosphere.
The blue-footed booby (Sula nebouxii) is a marine bird. The blue-footed booby is distributed among the continental coasts of the eastern Pacific Ocean from California to the Galapagos Islands down into Peru. The blue color of the blue-footed booby's webbed feet comes from carotenoid pigments obtained from its diet of fresh fish.
I tried my best to include as many as all in the photo, but both are not in the picture. Jupiter is too low, and Saturn is too high. We can see the Mercury, Waning Crescent Moon, Mars, and Uranus.
Note: For August 11–12, 2026, the forecast calls for Morning clouds.
Planetary Conjunction Through Atmospheric Turbulence
Just after sunset on January 21st, 2020
Mountain time: 6:16 PM
Handheld.
I wish I had set the shutter speed at 1/80 sec or faster.
The rim of a large crater, with some smaller craters within. I originally planned to have this rim be at one end of my base, with the entire base inside the crater. But now I'm thinking of building parts of it outside, e.g. I have a few Windtraps that would make sense to have on the rim, to pick up the maximum amount of wind. Also, I have a force field barrier, that would make more sense to have on the outside than on the inside of the crater...

The planetary eruption is really one of those old lightning balls found in a clean up of a kid's wardrobe. It still works!!

This is a tight crop of an image of the Weinberger planetary nebula. I captured the outstanding OIII data for the planetary nebula last night. It was interesting to see the levels of oxygen emission from the PN with the new data added. OIII x 14 x18 , Ha 17x 1800 and SII 17x 1800. This would make an excellent target for longer focal length optics. May be next time round.
