Since I was missing some data along the eastern limb for a lunar mosaic, I decided to salvage the effort, and make a planetary mosaic that was befitting to a quote by Anaxagoras. It was chosen for Star Quote of the Day. www.starquoteoftheday.com/2014/08/09/star-quote-of-the-da...
The arrangement of these buttonbush flowers/buds reminded me of an orrery model of the solar system. It even came complete with a tiny flower fly spaceship.

The Land Fly is the perfect mate for any planet, any explorer, and any expedition. Multiple devices for sampling and collecting are avaliable to the user. The equipment is totally self-reliant with multiple back-up systems for charging it's powered core using the forces of nature.
The rover group has got me thinking about this type of thing with the month long campain to build rovers. This thing probably doesn't count as a classic space rover, but it was a fun little build inspired by the rover-revolution.

Opening reception this Saturday for the 9th Annual Fine Art of Photography Competition/Exhibit in Plymouth, Center for the Arts. My print 'Planetary explorers' was accepted into the show. (Fun fact: This is a straight photograph, taken in September last year during the fogxflo installation in the Back Bay Fens.)
If you want some gorgeous skies, go to Canada. xD
I was watching the news and some astronomer came on and said that Venus would be directly visible near the moon tonight. I, being a space geek, ran outside for proof. I'm pretty sure that that light across from the Moon is Venus. It was unusually bright.
My camera still isn't working. I'm going through photography withdrawal here. >.<

This is also called a blinking nebula, because if you look at it through a telelscope and move your eye around it appears to blink. I wasn't able to see it through the eye piece at all, but the camera picked it up just fine.
Project 365 // Day 274
Had a tough time deciding what to shoot for today's 365 project... so I looked around and brainstormed what I could do. I finally came up with something, but I had no idea how it would look, or if it would even work. I really like this end result, because it reminded me of a far away planet, but as some commenters have commented, it reminded them of Dragonballs (from the DBZ anime). I think revealing what it is would definitely ruin the mystery, so I won't, you're all welcome to guess though :)

Από την σύνοδο Δία – Κρόνου στις 16-12-2020. Η απόσταση των δύο πλανητών είναι 35’ της μοίρας .Την Δευτέρα 21 Δεκεμβρίου που θα κορυφωθεί το φαινόμενο η απόσταση θα είναι 0,06 μοίρες.

Jupiter – Saturn conjunction on 16-12-2020. The distance between the two planets was 0.35 degrees. On 21 December, and as Jupiter overtakes Saturn, they will be 0,06 degrees apart.
Patriotic Planetary Alignment tonight. Red, white, and blue. Red Mars, white (OK yellow) Saturn, blue Spica. Throw in the moon and Mary's Peak as a bonus.

Cosmic Ray's Starlight Cafe has become one of my favorite attractions at Walt Disney World, and that's not just because of the delicious toppings bar. It's because of this guy, whose excellent songs and side-splitting humor make the cafe the best little burger joint in the galaxy.
I don't know what it is about the original park characters that is alluring to me, but my favorite Disney characters, in order, are: Figment, Skippy (Alien Encounter), Sonny Eclipse, Lagoona Gator (Typhoon Lagoon), Ice Gator (Blizzard Beach), and Ludwig Von Drake (Non-Parks). I only wish Disney would promote these characters a little better and offer merchandise featuring them (I will readily admit, I am a sucker for merchandise).
Oh, and Ray, how about giving Sonny a raise? And I'm not talking soups and salad.
In its first glimpse following the successful December 1999 servicing mission, NASA's Hubble Space Telescope captured a majestic view of planetary nebula NGC 2392, the glowing remains of a dying, Sun-like star. This stellar relic was first spied by William Herschel in 1787. In this Hubble telescope image, the nebula displays a disk of material embellished with a ring of comet-shaped objects, with their tails streaming away from the central, dying star. Although the bright central region resembles a ball of twine, it is, in reality, a bubble of material being blown into space by the central star's intense "wind" of high-speed material.
The planetary nebula began forming about 10,000 years ago, when the dying star began flinging material into space. The nebula is composed of two elliptically shaped lobes of matter streaming above and below the dying star. In this photo, one bubble lies in front of the other, obscuring part of the second lobe.
Scientists believe that a ring of dense material around the star's equator, ejected during its red giant phase, created the nebula's shape. This dense waist of material is plodding along at 72,000 miles per hour (115,000 kilometers per hour), preventing high-velocity stellar winds from pushing matter along the equator. Instead, the 900,000-mile-per-hour (1.5-million-kilometer-per-hour) winds are sweeping the material above and below the star, creating the elongated bubbles. The bubbles are not smooth like balloons but have filaments of denser matter. Each bubble is about 1 light-year long and about half a light-year wide. Scientists are still puzzled about the origin of the comet-shaped features in the disk. One possible explanation is that these objects formed from a collision of slow- and fast-moving gases.
NGC 2392 is about 5,000 light-years from Earth in the constellation Gemini. The picture was taken January 10 and 11, 2000, with the Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2. The nebula's glowing gases produce the colors in this image: nitrogen (red), hydrogen (green), oxygen (blue), and helium (violet).

Abell61 Planetary nebula
A beautiful nebula in the constellation of the Swan, characterised by an almost perfectly round shape, was created by the small blue central star of magnitude 17. It is 4500 light years away from us and extends only 4 light years.
A very faint nebula, which can hardly be seen in the individual shots, with 4 hours of data it can be highlighted more, although I had to give up before I reached the amount of photos I had hoped for, due to the death of my PC.
I still wanted to process it to have a memory of those nights spent in the observatory headbutting the telescope gone mad.

There was a rogue planet poking out on the left but I've cloned it out in case it was inhabited by Klingons :-)

Happy Flickring in 2013 friends. I look forward to seeing your New Year images and hope everything comes into focus.
I subscribe to Damian Peach's Patreon Astrophotography channel and he kindly provides raw data on the planets.
This is his data from imaging on the 30th of Septmber 2020 as Mars nears opposition.
Takahashi Mewlon 300 scope with ZWO ASI120MM-S camera
The data was provided as unsharpened RG and B files. I have sharpened them individually in RegiStax6 then used WInJupos to derotate and produce master RG and B files which were then combined into a colour image.
I used Photoshop to clean some derotation artefacts ( R channel as partial mask), enhance contrast and colour grade.
