Nel mio dialetto, la parola ancarvarò indica un cielo pieno di nuvole in movimento, estremamente mutevole. E questo è il cielo tipico della primavera che, dopo il lungo inverno, sembra essere finalmente arrivata su queste colline.

The "windmolen" hunting. In Haarlem we have 5 windmills (molen in Dutch). So I decide to take all of them in one night using the milky way day as well. Groenendaalse Molen has been build in 1780. Note this is a stack of many photos (a pano, exposure, wider sky, milky way, reflections). There is even a car trail that makes the picture quite unique. Comments welcomed.
Less than a mile from the Garden is where I did much of my first "birding" such as it was. And one of my first encounters with what was one of my longest lasting nemeses, the male Belted Kingfisher.
First, this was at Heather Farm Reserve when it was more wildlife than human. There is a very large pond with an island that creates a lagoon. And in this lagoon lived (maybe still does) a Belted Kingfisher which have a ratcheting call and a bill like an Australian Kookaburra. He would perch on a favorite snag (which the city cut off five years later) and call. As soon as you'd come running, he would fly to the other side of the island and, dutifully, I would run to try and get just one decent shot. This training of humans - I wasn't the only one - went on for almost five years when I spotted him before he saw me.
This was not the greatest shot, and it has been archived for eight years until my software came with a clarity brush and I was able to bring this character out in the open.
I keep mentioning the male. That is because the female Belted Kingfisher was only seen once and that was in 2019. The female has two bars across the chest, an example of sexual dimosphism. I saw her once, and never again.
When the City began pruning, chopping, fencing and doing other inane things to a park that had existed for over 100 years, the wildlife left and me along with them. I saw one of the people I used to see every day at the Reserve (now at the Garden), and she told me it has been dead as a doornail for three years. That includes the dragonflies because the ponds are low, no fish, and unsuitable for even the small number of Odonata we used to have.
I feel like a Burrowing Owl who keeps getting moved by planning developers, something I witnessed first hand and four times with the local colonies. Now, they're too far for me to go...

Here is the continuation of my large summer-2018 project.
I had imaged this region for about 13 nights altogether between July and October 2018. You can call me crazy, using so many nights for just one object, in a region where clear nights are rare :) But I really wanted to see if I could catch this beautiful Supernova remnant, and I'm glad it succeeded :)
Recently Pixinsight was supplied with the new Starnet++ module, which you can use to completely separate the stars from the background. I used this software to enhance the very weak nebulosity and was astonished to see how much more could be drawn from the background compared to the processing I did last year. All other processing was performed using Astropixelprocessor and photoshop.
Supernova remnants (SNR) are formed when a large star ends its life in a supernova explosion. About 300 of these remnants are currently known in our galaxy. One of the most famous remnants, the Veil Nebula, is located in the constellation of Cygnus. Although this is the most famous one in this constellation, it’s not the only SNR. Cygnus contains several obscure SNR’s, among which SNR 65.3+5.7 (also known as SNR 65.2+5.7).
SNR G65.3+5.7 was discovered by Gull et al. (1977) during an OIII survey of the Milky Way. Some parts of this SNR were already catalogued by Stewart Sharpless in his SH2 catalog as SH2-91, SH2-94 and SH2-96, but they were not recognized as being part of a bigger structure at that time. The idea that they could be part of a larger SNR was postulated by Sidney van den Bergh in 1960, but it took until 1977 for this to be confirmed.
This is one of the larger SNR in the sky spanning a region of roughly 4.0x3.3 degrees. Mavromatakis et al. (2002) determined the age of the SNR to be 20.000-25.000 years and the distance about 2.600 – 3.200 lightyears. The shell has a diameter of roughly 230 lightyears! This SNR is a predominantly OIII shell with also some H-alpha signal.
This supernova shell is quite weak and there are hardly any high-resolution images of this region. In the internet maybe 5-10 deep images of this shell can be found and, in most cases, they don’t cover the entire shell or the resolution is quite low because it was done by using photo lenses at short focal lengths. That’s why I decided to see if I could try to image the entire shell using my equipment, a TMB92 refractor in combination with a QSI583ws ccd camera. Because of its large size I needed to make a 3x3 mosaic to cover the whole region.
As so many nights were already necessary to cover the region in OIII I didn’t succeed in grabbing the H-alpha data, but on the internet I found the MDWsurvey (mdwskysurvey.org) initiated by David Mittelman (†), Dennis di Cicco, and Sean Walker (MDW). This is a marvelous project with the goal to image the entire northern sky in H-alpha at a resolution of 3.17”/pixel. I contacted them and told them of my effort to grab imagery of this SNR and they were very kind to provide me with the H-alpha imagery of this region, so that the entire SNR could be brought into view in reasonable high resolution.
This bicolor image shows a combination of about 53h of OIII data (made by myself) and 20 hours of Ha-data (made by the MDW survey) in a single image. In this way the full span of the shell can be seen in all its glory.

As spring months gave way to summer, the sunrises get earlier and earlier. So here we were last week at one of our usual spots, waiting for our light-filled friend to appear. The grey sky affected the dawn colors very much, and we were not quite satisfied with the results.
So we drove on, on our photographic journey with a heavy heart. As we crossed one of the bridges on the way, I saw a potential subject through the corner of my eye, and my car stopped. I backed up a bit and we got down with our gear.
The sun was hiding perfectly behind an electric pole, and ensuring a beautiful silhouette. I framed it and clicked a few shots. I could not see much through the view finder as the light was intense. For a few minutes my eyes could only see bright white light. When my vision got normal and I reviewed my images, I smiled. My angel of luck had accompanied me. Check out my High Voltage Friend, flying into the sky.

I spent half an hour learning/evaluating Affinity by Canva.
It's not an intuitive software, especially for those who aren't very experienced with editing, but it quickly makes you realize it's not one of those toy apps. Affinity is powerful, however, and includes a wealth of editing and graphics tools on par with more well-known and very expensive software.
It's not a product for astrophotography, so its value can be best demonstrated by its performance on non-ordinary images.
I limited myself to the Pixel section, i.e., photo editing, and after some testing, I ventured into processing a raw TIFF image of M42 (box 1), a subject rich in nuances, tones, and a myriad of details.
Even with the basic settings (box 2), the result is very satisfying. However, it's by exploring the advanced tools that I discover extremely useful applications for astrophotography, such as generating false-color images (box 3) and applying powerful and incredibly simple deconvolutional algorithms.
The use of deep learning in many tools is all too evident, and it's important/recommended not to get too carried away. The experienced user will know how much to use and, above all, when to stop to avoid entering the minefield of overprocessing, which is unfortunately widespread, where artifacts are considered objective details.
For software that has become free, can you expect more?

The image above is a 2000 X 1250 pixel scan from an original slide. Anything that is not from an original Kodachrome™ is noted as such, including later digital images and a limited number of scanned prints. The vast majority of Kodachrome™ shots were scanned during the period 2007-2014. As of 2022, there remains thousands of scanned, and unscanned images yet to go.
Early uploads were done in a 1024 X 683 pixel size. Since then, technology and software has improved, so I am beginning to re-upload in the much larger 2000 X 1250 pixel size, with the eventual goal of having only that format.
The images in the various galleries come mostly from my slide collection, gathered over the past 40+ years. They are a combination of my own photographs and others acquired over those years through trading, purchasing, and attending conventions.
This photostream was created in 2017 for the sole purpose of holding my slide collection as an archive, and has had over 10 million image views (to 2023)

Part of my pictures from the past series. I'm not sure you can take this viewpoint anymore. I edited this old pic using the new software technology that is available and I am very pleased with the results. I used AI sharpen first , at 100% the pic was a little blurry , then edited in Studio 2 finally back into PS for a little dodging not to be confused with dogging.

Giving Nik Software HDR efex Pro 2 a test run. I'm not big into HDR, but sometimes it's just kinda necessary (in small amounts). Now that I've got an awesome tripod of awesomeness, it's time I learned to embrace it.
Also thinking it might be time to leave my beloved CNX2. I love it. I wish they would upgrade it and fix all the problems with it and maybe give us a few more features, but it's been YEARS since NX2 was released, there's been no news from nik software of any intention of upgrading it, and their newest versions of the plug-ins aren't even compatible with NX..... sigh....
Testing CS6 with the nik software plug-ins now to see if I can make it close enough to NX2 to convince myself to make the switch.
