A male great horned owl flew in for a drink at Ayer Lake at Boyce Thompson Arboretum. But only the paranoid survive so he took the time to scope things out between drinks.
This from the BioSpere in Potsdam, Germany just outside Berlin. It's a great place of reptiles, butterflies, birds and an absolute array of plant and flower species. As I mentioned in another posting from the BioSphere this was a challenge with no flash but I think this worked out.
I cannot wait to get back there at some point.
Belated HNY to everyone and I hope everyone's 2019 is going to be great.
I've been so busy recently I can't post as much and I haven't been able to get out as much with the camera, but anyway, much love to everyone and as always, thank you! :)

The Horsehead and Flame Nebula, a stack of 11 shots processed in Photoshop. 1 of the frames was 10 minutes at ISO800, the rest were 20 minutes per frame, ISO400. Uncooled Nikon D810A on a Celestron CGEM2 mount, APT controlling the camera, ZWO guide camera with 60mm Sbvony scope for guiding with PHD2. The main scope is a Nikkor 600mm f/4 VR lens, shot wide open here. I had to keep adjusting the focus about every 40 minutes as the temp dropped, which is a pain! When I tried to do the meridian flip I messed it up and the scope lost its aligment, which for some reason I couldn't re-establish. I lost so much time I gave up for the night! Something I have to work on!

I was checking out the Cimarron River area in prep for aspen color season. It's especially pretty, from the pics I've seen.

Annapolis Royal is located in Nova Scotia and has history leading back to the 16th century. And, that is saying something for Canada. It is a quaint and delightful place, rather like stepping into an Agatha Christie novel but without the murders. I got an early start that day heading out before dawn and was rewarded with colors in the areas I had scoped out the day before.
October 1942
As I stare through my scope, my hands tremble with fear! The Russians are all through the streets and alleyways! like vermin their numbers multiply day by day. I can't pick them off quick enough. Is this tipping point?
The artistic reputation of Léon Spilliaert (1881-1946) has increased considerably in recent years. Not helped or hindered (cross out what is desired) by academic training, he developed a unique style in which he balances painting and drawing. The fact that he paints with Indian ink is already challenging, the subtle addition of colored pencil is completely unusual.
Spilliaert's depictions are highly symbolic (see also previous post in this stream). In a late ink painting like 'Firebreak between the firs' the year is important to understand the scope. In 1944, the last year of the Second World War, Hitler's defeat was already looming, but the end was bitter. Hunger, cold and the death of hundreds of thousands of soldiers preceded peace.
This exhibition in The Hague builds a bridge between Léon Spilliaert and Dirk Braeckman, who never knew each other. What is that bridge? “That is visualizing what you cannot see,” says curator Thijs de Raedt. “Both are nocturnal animals that intuitively head for the magic of deep black.”
The fact that we now see similarities between the two artists also has to do with the revaluation of symbolism and Spilliaert in particular. In the 1970s, there was a renewed sensitivity to indeterminate and uncanny places. In Belgium, a victim of two World Wars, people are perhaps more receptive to that than elsewhere.

NGC2070, The Tarantula Nebula, is a large region of ionized gas surrounding a collection of newly-forming stars at the eastern end of the stellar bar in the Large Magellanic Cloud and is located approximately 170000 light years away.
It has been several months of less than ideal conditions to setup for Deep Sky Astrophotography, so when we had a clear moonless night last night, I took the opportunity to capture a couple of hours on the Tarantula Nebula. I was concerned that as it had been quite a while since my last image, that I would have forgotten the process. The ASIAir and ZWO equipment worked like clockwork with no issues at all. I managed only 20 x 180 seconds (1 hour) each of Ha and Oiii, but am very happy with the final image.

I've seen tons of amazing pictures created for Enchantment's The Iliad and the Odyssey event! Why not enter them in the contest? :) Read the guidelines below:
The Iliad and The Odyssey by Homer are the earliest works of Western literature and are the wellspring for much of Western culture. Both stories are considered Epic literature due to the scope in size of the events taking place within the story. It is believed that "Homer" was not one person but multiple people who wrote these epic tales.
The Iliad focuses on some of the significant events of the final weeks of the Trojan War and the Greek siege of the city of Troy. The Odyssey takes the fall of the city of Troy (the end of the Iliad) as its starting point and crafts a new epic around the struggle of one of those Greek warriors, the hero Odysseus.
