Es war eine total faszinierende und stürmische Nacht.
Still und doch pfiff der Föhnsturm mir um die Ohren.

"It’s true; you may be a little cold some nights on mountain tops above the timber-line, but you will see the stars, and by and by, when the time comes, you can sleep enough in your town bed, or at least in your grave. So make the most of what you have. I felt glad, rich, and almost comfortable." - John Muir

Used the Move-Shoot-Move tracker to help star trailing since the Sony Fe 14-14mm F4 isn't a speed demon. Roughly aligned to Polaris.

I used a LiPo filter to help a bit with the distant light dome.
There was a storm off to the right but the lightning strikes were sadly out of my field of view.

Meu primeiro registro da pequena (em tamanho aparente/angular) Galáxia do Sombreiro. O processamento foi bastante trabalhoso. Preciso estudar melhores formas de captação/processamento para essa galáxia. Neste registro estão somados frames captados em dois dias consecutivos, totalizando 6 horas e 38 minutos de exposição empilhados. Aproximadamente metade dos frames foram realizados sem filtro e a outra metade com o filtro Optolong L-eNhance.
"A galáxia do Sombreiro (Messier 104, NGC 4594), é uma galáxia espiral com núcleo brilhante rodeado por um disco achatado de material escuro, que fica a 28 milhões de anos-luz de distância. Essa brilhante galáxia é conhecida como sombreiro devido a sua aparência característica que se assemelha a um chapéu. A galáxia possui uma magnitude aparente de +8,3". Fonte: Wikipedia.org

A shot of the Milky Way taken back in 2019 from a location close to the famous “Navagio” (meaning shipwreck, there is really a sunken boat very close to the coast) in Epanomi, a very popular beach in summer. The foreground was illuminated by the rotating lighthouse beam a few hundred meters away, thus providing a means of light painting of the scene. The bright beacon on the right is planet Jupiter.
My deepest thanks and warmest wishes to everyone - stay healthy and keep looking up!

Luna creciente de julio al 67%, el campo está bien iluminado como para montar cómodamente el equipo sin necesidad de linternas ni frontales, la Vía Láctea no es tan visible como en luna nueva, por eso en este caso usé una montura ecuatorial, en la cual monté un sistema de doble rótula para poder girar en horizontal una segunda rótula con orientación picada hacia el cielo, pues el arco se hallaba ya bastante alto, sin este método es imposible efectuar panorámicas sobre una montura ecuatorial, pues su base nunca está horizontal sino muy inclinada, en un plano paralelo al eje de ascensión recta o lo que es lo mismo, al eje de rotación terrestre..

My first attempt to use the minitrack LX2 after the curfew, finally could go out the whole night. Spent the whole day editing and re-editing, maybe tomorrow as well. 32 lightframes of 1 minute, 17 darkframes, ISO 800, Nikon D3100, 50mm. Processed in Sequator and PS CC.
I had another go at processing my star trails from Castle Hill the other day by using fewer shots. When stacking the 60 shots using Sequator I forgot to set it to stack for star trails. Instead Sequator tried to align all the stars. The result I got was totally unexpected and literally out of this world!
First I took the foreground 240 sec exposure, f/5.0, ISO 3200. Next I took a timelapse of 120 images, 30 sec exposure,, f/2.8, ISO 1000, but I only used 30 images for this. Denoised in DxO PhotoLab 6.5. Star trails stacked using Sequator (using aligment). Finally composited with the foreground using Affinity Photo.
This is a photo of comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS) taken on October 14th, 2024 (details below). Despite thin clouds, the nucleus was visible about 45 minutes after sunset, about halfway between Venus (bright star at lower left) and Arcturus. Then after about 30 minutes, it was clearly visible with the unaided eye and magnificent through binoculars.
Discovered in early 2023, Comet A3 made a fine appearance in Earth’s skies in October 2024. Dubbed as “the comet of the century”, I think it should instead be called the most photographed comet of all times.
Originating in the distant Oort cloud, where billions of small, icy bodies, relics of the solar system's formation abound, it travelled towards the Sun and the Earth, starting its journey towards the inner solar system thousands of years ago.
As the Sun's heat slowly but steadily warmed its icy surface, mixed with rocks and dust, the icy crust began to sublimate and gases and dust particles started to form an atmosphere around its nucleus. The steady flow of the solar wind shaped the dust and gas into a long tail, extending for millions of miles into space, opposite to the direction of the Sun. But at the time this photo was taken, an anti-tail pointing to the sun also formed, an optical illusion from dust left to drift in the comet’s orbit, reflecting sunlight towards us.
At its maximum brightness, the comet was relatively easy to spot with unaided eye and fabulous with binoculars. It remained visible for some time but it is now below naked-eye visibility limit. Recent calculations suggest it might have an open (hyperbolic orbit) that will eventually send it away from our solar system and that it will never return. Let’s hope another bright one is on course to the inner solar system.
Wishing everyone health and clear skies!

It was a clear night, so I ventured down to the lighthouse. I quickly set up and started shooting. My plan was to take my normal 15 shots to stack in Sequator. Once I got the photos into Sequator, the stacking didn’t look right, the rays from the lighthouse made a strange pattern. So this is a single shot processed in ACR and Photoshop.

It felt really spooky at Ladram Bay Holiday Resort with the entire complex closed down in mid summer. However, with a low tide it is always a good spot for viewing the Milky Way without too much light pollution. Got there just in time before the core went round the headland and before some clouds rolled in. So pretty lucky to get the shot really.

I felt like having a walk down to the beach to see if I could get some stars on a clearish night the other day, once I got to the coast though I found that they have been renovating the railway lines and they had a massive industrial light that was blindingly bright all the way up to the sea as they were working through the night, This was really frustrating and probably took a lot of the darkness from the sky as well as making it hard to compose a photo without overexposing the foreground !!
Keep in mind also that this is an extremely light polluted area ( bortle 5 ) as well as having the whole right side of the photo blown out from a nearby nuclear power plant lol
I just wanted to see what was possibly in this area and I'm actually really really happy with the result, I have really limited experience shooting astro and have a lot to learn, first attempt of something like this really, I cant believe how many stars I could capture and how much structure of the Milky way I could get from this photo
Technically, this photo is made up of 6 photos stitched as a pano and each of those photos were made from 6 photos too, stacked then in Sequator and merged as the pano in Lightroom

last night I went to Saint Werburgh's Church Wembury, to shoot the Milky Way. I visited here a couple of weeks ago but my efforts where thwarted by the ferry departing so desperately wanted to return and see if I could get a better shot.
For anyone interested this is a 2 shot vertical panorama of 15 shots stacked per row.
Note the St George's cross flag is at half mast out of respect for her majesty the Queen who's funeral was today.
EXPLORE 16th September.
This was taken Monday evening 14th July at 10.00pm when it was also high tide. This was taken from Pagham Harbour Wall looking out across the harbor This is about 2 miles from home. Pagham Harbour is a nature reserve so there is a reduction in the near continuous coastal light pollution. That night the moon did not rise to 2.00am and it was a perfect clear sky so ideal conditions. The picture was looking due south. The bright star in the centre to the left of the Milky Way is Jupiter and to the left of that and up a bit is Saturn.
This was taken with a Sigma 10-20mm wide angle lens at 20mm at F5 and 25 seconds and 2000 ISO. 15 pictures were taken and stacked together using Sequator software which aligns stars together.
After processing in Sequator the image was processed in Capture One Raw and then taken into Photoshop and processed in Topaz Clarity and Topaz DeNoise. A single image was RAW processed and brought in as a layer with a mask for the foreground

EYE OF THE DRAGON: The water beyond the trees belongs to a beautiful, secluded bay on the Kassandra “first leg” in Chalkidiki, Greece. Many times, while swimming there, I saw the curving body of a sleeping dragon half submerged, a tail formed by the undulating hills covered with trees, a head at the end of the promontory, just above the bay, and then a small opening in the trees exactly where the eye of the beast should be (quite an imagination!). There is a small chapel just at the eye opening, at the end of a sinuous downward road among the trees, just a few meters above the small bay. So, I decided to visit this place a hot summer night last year, hoping for clear skies and a nice foreground to the backdrop of the Milky Way Galaxy at the south.
My main concern was the lights beyond the bay at the south and that there might be people driving their cars at night with for night swimming and camping, and that therefore I would not be able to get a long enough exposure for the Milky Way, without being interrupted by car lights. I knew that many boats go to that bay at daytime all summer long, since it’s a very popular place. Well, it turned out that there was another more annoying factor, that I had not expected.
A DUSTY ROAD: This could of course refer to the fine dust particles that are part of the interstellar space between the stars and that in many places obscure the continuity of the gases (mostly hydrogen) that comprise the Milky Way, giving it the characteristic dark lanes. If you look carefully at the photo, you will spot the Dark Horse feature in the Milky Way, just above the center of the photo.
But in this case, I am talking about the dust on the road that leading from the top of the hill down to the small chapel, a narrow sinuous soil road among tall trees. In every step, I felt that I was going to sink below the dust, and I had to wear a face mask to protect my lungs from swallowing all the fine dust particles. I did leave my car at the top, since the road is also very rough and difficult, unless you had an SUV or similar vehicle. I kept thinking that if indeed some cars did come up or down the road while I had set up my camera to take the shots, my main concern would not be the lights, but how on earth I was going to clean my gear later.
Well, as it turned out, over the whole period I spend taking the shots, only one car did pass by, just as was setting up my tripod, bur the driver was very careful and going slowly. There were certainly more people down at the beach that night, but I managed to finish the session without any other interruption.
Apart from the insane amount of dust and the distant lights that distract from the beauty of the sky, the night sky was close to excellent, especially near the zenith, and I could not resist spending more time after the shots, to marvel at the wonderful summer constellations and the Milky Way above, with the sound of the water breaking on the rocks below and the soft whisper of the trees around me, as the sea breeze caressed their leaves.
While going up the road on my return, I was wondering whether any of the hundreds of people coming to that bay every day, enjoying the beautiful sea all summer long, had ever seen such a glorious night sky, filled with thousands of sparkling lights and invisible, infinitesimal dust grains, ancient heroes and wild beasts, among which most certainly lies a huge sleeping dragon.

Sali con la intención de captar mi primera VL de la temporada, tras varias semanas de lluvia por fin parecía que la noche estaría despejada, no fue exactamente así..
Después de dos horas de carretera y media hora de aproximación con el equipo, las brumas no se terminaban de ir, una noche tremendamete oscura, menos mal que el faro de las Sirenas alumbraba el Cabo y algo de luz se reflejaba, mientras montaba equipo la noche abrió un poco y aproveché para empezar a disparar. Tenía la montura ecuatorial preparada pero olvidé cambiar pilas así que no funcionó.
La única alternativa era realizar disparos simples, menos mal que al menos llevaba mi 20mm f-1.8, al poco tiempo se volvió a nublar tapando por completo la VL, así que después de todo puedo considerarme afortunado. la magia de la noche y el disfrute del lugar están siempre garantizados.
