Since Hogwarts is my home, staying home for Christmas seems to be not so bad ...
I always liked this time of the year, the snowy silence full of expectations, the soft tinking of bells, occasionally interrupted by singing armours or suddenly swooping snowballs.
Although there is still much homework to do, I'm really looking forward to one of our pleasurable Christmas traditions and the best sport ever : Base-jumping in the restricted section!
But first we have to get our portkey to Stonehenge to celebrate the Solstice and the Christmas Star in the Great Conjunction 🌠 - oh, what a night!
🎄❄️⛄⚡🎄
Happy Solstice & Merry Christmas!

I did have help from Google and Youtube...........so here you have a 65mm Cube, Blood Sweat and Tears !
Ha and OIII
Managed to grab a small amount of OIII last night.
(Still a lot of noise, because of the lack of data ...and UK weather ;-) )

Solving puzzles is a hobby, addiction or compulsiveness? This is not as easy as it seems the maze pass is just barely big enough for the BB to fall through and really easy to come back out LOL. It is a close up, the puzzle is right at 3 inch across. I thought it was too big so quartered the puzzle to a 1-1/2 inch square frame to make it macro.
Problems to be solved. Entering the creative space where problems swirl and answers form.

As I walked the short, beautiful trail along the Sturgeon River to Canyon Falls, I came across this gentleman. Like most of us photographers, he is coming to a decision on how he wants to capture the scene . . . usually quite differently than someone capturing a 'selfie' . . .
"You did the right thing, yeah
When you went and looked my way
I know, I know what you wanna say
You wrote it all on your face
(On, on, your)
Just beam me up, beam me up, leave me, don't bring me down
You've been fighting from the gallows
The shadows just come on out
(But you know)
It's all good when it's all bad
Be hurting all day but it's all math
You're losing your brain
And falling right back
It's all good when it's all bad
Been looking all day but it's all math
Just solve the equation
Get it all back." - QUIÑ ♫
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!

Iconic Sutro Tower reaches high above San Francisco to greet the new day. Before the construction of Sutro Tower in 1973 television reception in San Francisco was spotty due to the many hills. The solution: erect a giant three pronged tower that dominates the skyline. Problem solved.

There were many questions with my last post of the red bellied woodpeckers but this solves the problem everyone had. Such a wonderful pair and delight to photograph !
Wishing everyone a memorable Memorial Day and a Day we give thanks to the men who fought and gave the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom . We think of their families and friends and pray for them today and always !! Thank you !

There were two of these gorgeous trees in full bloom at Lake St. Clair Metropark. The leaves looked like chestnut trees but the flowers were colored like buckeye tree flowers. Both of those trees have large palmate compound leaves. What were they, I wondered.
Later, I remembered seeing trees like these many years ago in Paris. They lined many of the streets and boulevards of Paris. There were the Horse-chestnuts with whitish flowers, and these pink/red flowers of the Red Horse-chestnut trees.
This picture is of Red Horse-chestnuts, a hybrid of Red Buckeye and Horse-chestnut...mystery solved (again).

World's first steam powered clock
The insides of this clock is where the magic begins....
Raymond Saunders' first steam clock was built in 1977 to solve the issue of a steam vent in a popular sidewalk for the renovated Gastown district of Vancouver. Owned by the City of Vancouver, BC Canada
In memory of Raymond Saunders who sadly passed away - November 24, 2024
www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/gastown-steam-clo...
The steam clock's plaque reads:
THE GASTOWN STEAM CLOCK
Designed and built by
Raymond L. Saunders
Horologist
The world's first steam powered clock has been created for the enjoyment of everyone. The live steam winds the weights and blows the whistles. Every 4.5 minutes one steel weight will travel by steam power to the top of the clock. The gravity driven "falling ball" drive was 'engineered' by Douglas L. Smith. Each quarter hour the clock will sound the Westminster Chimes. The large whistle will sound once on the hour. The steam is supplied by the underground system of Central Heat Distributor's Limited. The component parts cost $42,000 and the clock weighs over two tons.
A few years ago the clock was refit and is not entirely steam powered. It also has three small electric motors to help operate two internal fans, one of which blows the steam out the top, and another that controls the valves that play the tunes on the five steam whistles mounted atop the clock case.
The large central whistle, which was taken off the CPR steam tug Naramata, counts off the full hours while the four auxiliary whistles chime the Westminster Quarters every quarter hour. The number of chimes matches the number of quarter hours that have passed.
Gastown is the original settlement that became the core of the creation of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Currently, it is a national historic site and a neighbourhood in the northwest end of Downtown Eastside, adjacent to Downtown Vancouver.

Timmy’s biggest problem right now is getting enough cuddles. With this heat, I hardly ever see him except at 7:30 a.m. for breakfast and at 9:30 p.m. for dinner. If I’m lucky, like now, he hears me when I go out to the garden in the early evening. He comes out, still half-asleep, and climbs up his ladder. I have to go down two steps on the little staircase to the garden. Then our heads are at the same height, and we can relax and cuddle to our hearts’ content.

M31 or NGC224 and previously referred to as the Great Andromeda Nebula before it was known to be a galaxy is the closest major galaxy to the Milky Way with a mere 2.5 million light years away. Like our own Milky Way, Andromeda is a spiral galaxy but it is more than twice as big with some 220,000 light years across, it is also the largest galaxy in the local group, the Milky Way is the second largest of the 44 galaxies in the group. Andromeda and the Milky Way are in a collision path and when they collide in 3.75 billion years they will probably form a huge elliptical or disk galaxy eventually. The space in between stars is so vast that very few stars will collide; however, the strong gravitational changes will create all sort of galactic weather. The two supermassive black holes at the center of them will gravitate each other in a binary back hole system and finally merge. Andromeda appears in the constellation of Andromeda with an apparent magnitude of 3.44. All the stars in any picture of Andromeda are local stars in the Milky Way, the small galaxy in the top left is M32, a satellite galaxy of Andromeda.

Sod the photo, I've finally found a way to solve my problem of wonky images with sloping horizons and waterlines... shoot everything from a moving boat!
This image of presumable someone's home or holiday home (most jealous) is as taken - dead centre, dead level (oh alright... I've cropped it a little but it's still central and level). Captured on the way back from Riva del Garda via Limone to Malcesine, this house is just north of Limone.
NGC 2403 is a Spiral Galaxy in the constellation Camelopardalis. It is 8 million light years away. It is quite bright at magnitude 8.9
This image is the result of 1 hour 20 minutes of exposure, with Darks and Bias frames.
Conditions were poor, quite windy, which kept exposures down to 3 or 4 minutes at 800 ISO and 1600 ISO It needs longer to bring out more detail.
Equipment: Celestron 8 inch Reflector on AVX mount and Canon 500D. Guided with ZWO 60mm guidescope and SSAG with PHD 2.6
Finished in DSS and PS

After a bath this male wood duck did not require a towel. Just give the head a good shake. Problem solved.
Here I used stroboscopic (multi) flash mode while spinning the Rubik's cube to emphasise the process of solving it.
someone should've told me about tone mapping sooner. Controlling the (limited) dynamic range in a shot has always been a headache I mostly solved with local lights.

A wee bit tricky to process this as the Red-filter image wasn't properly focused.
