M81 and M82 are a pair of interacting galaxies found in the constellation of Ursa Major.
M81 was discovered by Johann Alert Bode in 1774. The galaxy is approximately 11.5 million light years from earth and is one of the brightest galaxies in the night sky.
M82 also discovered by Johann Alert Bode, is known for its elongated cigar shape seen from Earth and contains high levels of star formation giving its alternative name the Starburst Galaxy. M82 is approximately 12 million light years from Earth.
This wide field image also includes NGC 3077, NGC 2961, NGC 2959 and NGC 2976.
One of the objectives for this wide field image was to capture the IFN (Integrated Flux Nebula) that surrounds the region. This is why over 50 hours of imaging was taken to pick up the weak background signal.
Primarily the RGB was taken using a UV/UR cut filter during the moonless nights, and then the Ha data was added from a narrowband session using the Optolong L-Extreme 3nm filter during brighter moonlit nights. This narrowband data improves the definition of the red Ha jets being ejected from the galaxy core go M82.
Imaged from my home in Gergal, Spain over 8 nights in February and March 2023.

Evening sun on the slopes of Scope End. Although Scope End (right) looks like a distinct peak, it is actually only on a ridge leading up to Hindscarth (back centre) and there is no drop between the two.
Was tickled to see the Brown Thrasher today while doing some birdwatching.
These guys don't show up too often out in the open, but they do like to check out the ground underneath the feeders from time to time. Today was one of those days.
They remind be a bit of Roadrunners because they usually seem to run from place to place instead of the slow gait most birds do when foraging under the feeders.
Managed to grab an hour this morning, I've been meening to get this shot for a while, I'm still not 100% happy with it, might have to re-visit this one when I finaly get myself a new tripod that gave up the ghost shortly after this.Then went home and knocked my sons tooth out with a ball - not the best of days for Badger or young Badger junior:(

Astrobin Image Of The Day 9th January 2020
Amateur Astronomy Image Of The Day 25th January 2020 AAPOD2
Published in Universo Magico 27 March 2020
EGB 4 (a nebula discovered by Ellis, Grayson, & Bond in 1984) is NOT a comet, despite it's comet-like appearance. It is an emission nebula surrounding a catacylismic binary star system called BZ Cam in the constellation of Camelopardis.
It has an unusual bow-shock structure as BZ Cam (with it's associated wind) moves through the interstellar medium, similar to the bow wave in front of a ship that is moving through water.
BZ Cam is believed to be a white dwarf star that is accreting mass from an accompanying main-sequence star of 0.3-0.4 solar masses.
It is around 2,500 light years away, and has a space velocity of 125 km/second.
I can only find one previous image of EGB 4 online, a NASA APOD from 2000, so I believe this could be the first amateur image and the first colour image.

I wasn't going to throw this one on Flickr, but Mari kept telling me how cute she thought this shot of a squirrel I found at Stanley Park was. Not only was he standing up, he also let me get really close to him. June 21, 2008.

Still crazy after all these years and there have been a lot of them. I doubt there will be any relief until Covid is no longer a serious threat and I can be released from this lockdown stage.

Sometimes it's really hard to stay focused and follow that path. Many undertakings could have been such a better experience if not all that noise around it. Everything and everyone want's a piece of that undertaking, it's like late passengers hopping on a train leaving the station. These life distractions will definitely slow you down and you might achieve a lot but not necessarily what you really want. You might reach your goal but the taste of victory has been spoiled.

Always be ready for an adventure. Typically W9 and I don't share our space with many people. A nice mix of bird watchers and twitchers packed the Marsh yesterday. Scope/camera lady tipped us off to the location of the rare Eurasian Wigeon. Thank you.
It wasn't a very cooperative duck and after 200+ photos we moved along. The newly constructed bridge on the Marsh is finally open to foot traffic. It was a no-brainer to check it out. Suddenly Scope/camera lady charges out from the brush waving her arms overhead and yelling for us to stay away. A moment later she was walking over to us and thanking us for being so understanding. She explained that she was on a deadline to find 250 birds.
W9 and I are watchers. Finding a new bird can be reason to celebrate. But it really is the adventure of the journey ... learning something new and being able to recall and connect the information we've stuffed into our heads. Giving the game our best effort and still getting it wrong sometimes. Humbling. Thrilling.
Wakering Photography Group Spring Photo Marathon 2022.
Six images in Five hours on Six given topics.
Category 1 :- Remember When (National Retro Day).
The group met up at 10.00 am Sunday 27th February 2022 at Morleys Nursery Tea Room Great Wakering to register their empty camera card for the challenge, the categories were given at that time.
1/ Remember When…National Retro Day.
2/ Something Sweet.
3/ Fluffy.
4/ Balanced.
5/ Yellow.
6/ Reflections
All images had to be in Jpeg, No Post Processing, just one image per category, we had to return to our groups meeting place, the Great Wakering Royal British Legion Club by 3.00 pm.
The images were downloaded to our club laptop and were stored for judging by three independent judges, the results will be declared at our Photography Group meeting Monday 11th April 2022.
Around 1958 this Vista 3D screen was a Weetabix promotion, you had to cut the voucher from the cereal box and send it off in the post.
The cards were then added to the subsequent cereal boxes, these cards and viewers can still be found on on the usual internet sites.
Needless to say this is a cherished family artefact, my Grandchildren still love to look at the images today.
I am delighted to say this was voted in 1st place in this category.
I would like to express my thanks to my Daughter Helen our Photography Group Secretary and Organiser for all her hard work time and effort in running a fabulous set of challenges.
One of the very few interesting shots I was able to get during my recent visit to Oxley Nature Center. But, this is the sort of thing that keeps me coming back for more.

Last evening I went for a long drive out west and north. The clouds and the colors in the sky were promising a great sunset. I couldn't resist so I hung out in the far northwest country and scoped out locations to shoot the sunset.
If you look close on the horizon about 1/4 of the way in from the left, you'll see the Byron steam stacks. They look so far away but they didn't seem that far when I was standing here shooting this scene. I was just east of Interstate 39 on some country dirt road north of Illinois 72.
Have a great week ahead everyone :-)
Yesterday I saw an IR scope, I tought i make one -->this is the result of my one day work. Enjoy!

The MOPRA radio telescope facility is located near Coonabarabran / Siding Spring Observatory / Warrumbungle National Park in NSW, Australia. It is 22 metres in diameter and is operated by the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO).
A bit of interference "noise" from the scope is apparent.
Taken in April, 2018 during the inaugural Astrophotography / iTelescope Masterclass held by Dr. Christian Sasse at Siding Spring Observatory.
Timelapse shot on April 18, 2018.

This was something hard to start actually. But it is finished now! Fully recolorable after first ungroup.
Thanks to Alexander for the markings.

Feel free to use this image, but give credit to writtenartist.com with an active link.
This design took a while too make, the design has so much color density. The color has so many different variations that it is well pleasing to the eye. Each individual color was hand picked and placed accordingly.
The shapes have also got there own special touch and swirl!
The other day, my boss was looking at my photography and mentioned that my photo "Reaching for the Water" reminded him of one of his favorite places in our general area. He claimed that it was as gorgeous as Rocky Mountain National Park, but with almost no people. When I got home, I did a lot of searching to find photos of the area, but all of them seemed to be shot with 7 year old point and shoots at midday. Determined to be one of the first with good quality photos, I decided to check it out today and plan for a future sunrise/sunset trip. After scoping it out, I can absolutely back up his claims...
Of the probably 100+ lakes in the area, this was amazingly one of the least interesting I came across. I typically wouldn't post a shot from one of my scoping trips (in fact, I usually don't even take any pictures on them), but I am just so psyched to go there again that I will anyway.
Weather permitting, I will be heading up very, very early on Monday to shoot the sunrise at the most mindblowing of the locations I visited today. Stay tuned! UPDATE: Weather permitting failed as there isn't supposed to be a cloud in the sky all day. Wednesday it is.
Shot with my Sigma 10-20mm @ around 11mm and new B+W ND110 to try to compensate for the boring, nearly midday sky.
Plushi-scope leads Teddy Team 6. He wears a fairly mobile mech unit purposed for long range sniping and surveillance. He can survey the battle field well guiding other fluffy in their combat against nightmares.
Not the best light or colour yesterday morning (until we had packed up and were heading home) so the best option was a long exposure and mono conversion :-)

It's a rather large code, and it contains some white shapes, but mounting it on a rail shouldn't be a problem!
The aftermath of the EF4 tornado that wiped out a good portion of the rural areas of Douglas and Leavenworth County can clearly be seen with all of the mangled trees here as this train works around the curve coming up on MP 31 on the UP Kansas Sub.
This was the first time I've popped the drone up in this location and I think I will be back and scoping out a couple other shots I've found on Google Earth.
We had an unusually warm Feb. day here in Ohio but very dreary, rainy and even flooding.
Planned on heading to a zoo but with the weather decided to take a road trip with fellow flickrer dfbsjf and drove around half the state scoping out good photo ops for spring time.
Found quite a few misty rivers out there with the cold water and warm temps. This one is from Mohican State Park. Should be posting a few of these over the coming days.
