M101 (181 exp). There is a supernova here - I'm just not sure where. I took a better picture of this galaxy - the pinwheel in Ursa Major - last year on a darker night
Refractography has its charms, and as I experiment further I'm beginning to understand some of the secrets to great images. Read on to hear how this image was created! I call it "Supernova":
This is a photograph of refracted light from a thin glass flower vase directly hitting my camera sensor with no lens on the camera. A flashlight shines light through the glass vase, which bends light in interesting ways through its curves and contours and spits out an interesting light pattern on the other side. This is the same phenomenon that creates bright patterns at the bottom of a swimming pool on a sunny day.
There are a few challenges, of course. The first being the direction of light. You'll need the light to be traveling as straight as possible, and I use a Better Beamer fresnel lens to keep the light as focused as possible. Between the vase and the camera I also have a simple one-lens optic from an old film camera that I hold in my hands to refocus the light to the sensor on the other side. For those curious, it's a Contaflex S 115mm. :)
The real trick is finding a "refractive object" or a combination of objects that results in an interesting pattern. Colour can be added either in Photoshop or by strategically placing coloured gel filters in the light path. Oh, and you're pretty much guaranteed a dirty camera sensor after shooting this way. You've been warned!
As far as warnings go, also never ever use a laser. Say goodbye to your camera sensor of a laser is part of the equation.
You can barely call this "photography" by the standard definition, but it's a great way to understand light.... and understanding light makes you a better photographer!

Everybody loves it. Everybody drinks it. So good idea to get the dusty equipment out of the basement and give the old EOS M a good time and lets see what it can do.
For those whiskymaniacs out there: the Ardbeg Supernova was hard to get. When the shop opens the system got a breakdown and I tried for over an hour to get it. But thats most of the time when awesome bottles get released.

aber irgendwas ist da schiefgelaufen.
Aber egal, der Effekt ist genial !

This image of the supernova RCW 86 shows X-ray data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory. Astronomers used these data to determine that a Type Ia supernova explosion, which was witnessed nearly 2,000 years ago by Chinese astronomers, was the source of the RCW 86 remnant seen today. Type Ia supernovas are created when an otherwise stable white dwarf is pushed beyond the brink of stability when a companion star dumps material onto it.

NASA's Fermi Closes on Source of Cosmic Rays
New images from NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope show where supernova remnants emit radiation a billion times more energetic than visible light. The images bring astronomers a step closer to understanding the source of some of the universe's most energetic particles -- cosmic rays.
This composite shows the Cassiopeia A supernova remnant across the spectrum: Gamma rays (magenta) from NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope; X-rays (blue, green) from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory; visible light (yellow) from the Hubble Space Telescope; infrared (red) from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope; and radio (orange) from the Very Large Array near Socorro, N.M.

It seems like yesterday that the plants in this patch of sunflowers were mere seedlings. And now they're having seeds of their own!

Another doll to debox today. This back to back deboxing is fun, but quite stressful also. But, I'm almost there, only 4 more to go before I'm all caught up.
I was super excited when I saw Supernova's first photos. I love, love, love the old Colette sculpt and when I saw this one, I was thrilled. Not only was old Colette back, but she was gorgeous and different and awesome.
That skintone, the crimped hair, the pouty face--what's not to love? She has the presence of a goddess.
Deboxing her was a thrill. She is not only beautiful but comes with an accessory pack that does not seem to end--the choker, the hair ornament, numerous bangles, rings, earrings, shoes that are works of art, an awesome purse. I had worried that she would be too bright. Well, she is super bright and funky from head to toe, yet a joy to behold. She is what NuFace should be, pushing the limits.
The same sunrise as this photo, but at a different angle and without the light difference.
I really like this one as well, because it kind of looks like an entirely different planet, with a smaller sun closer to it.
This rounds out the photos I took on our trip. Hope you all enjoyed them! :)

A widefield HaRGB mosaic of the Veil Nebula Complex (Supernova Remnant).
The Veil Nebula is a cloud of heated and ionized gas and dust in the constellation Cygnus. It constitutes the visible portions of the Cygnus Loop (radio source W78, or Sharpless 103), a large but relatively faint supernova remnant. The source supernova exploded circa 3,000 BC to 6,000 BC, and the remnants have since expanded to cover an area roughly 3 degrees in diameter (about 6 times the diameter, or 36 times the area, of the full moon).
The Veil Nebula Complex has three main visual components:
The Western Veil (also known as Caldwell 34), consisting of NGC 6960 (the "Witch's Broom", "Finger of God", or "Filamentary Nebula") near the foreground star 52 Cygni;
The Eastern Veil (also known as Caldwell 33), whose brightest area is NGC 6992, trailing off farther south into NGC 6995 (together with NGC 6992 also known as "Network Nebula") and IC 1340; and
Pickering's Triangle (or Pickering's Triangular Wisp), brightest at the north central edge of the loop, but visible in photographs continuing toward the central area of the loop.
NGC 6974 and NGC 6979 are luminous knots in a fainter patch of nebulosity on the northern rim between NGC 6992 and Pickering's Triangle.
About Star Colors:
You will notice that star colors differ from red, orange and yellow, to blue. This is an indication of the temperature of the star's Nuclear Fusion process. This is determined by the size and mass of the star, and the stage of its life cycle. In short, the blue stars are hotter, and the red ones are cooler.

A supernova and its host galaxy are the subject of today’s NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope Picture of the Week. The galaxy in question is LEDA 132905, which is situated in the constellation Sculptor. Even at over 400 million light-years away, LEDA 132905’s spiral structure is faintly visible, as are patches of bright blue stars.
The bright white dot directly in the centre of the image, between the bright centre of the galaxy and its faint left edge, is a supernova named SN 2022abvt. SN 2022abvt was discovered in late 2022, and Hubble observed the explosion about two months later. This image was constructed from data collected to study Type Ia supernovae, which occur when the exposed core of a dead star ignites in a sudden, destructive burst of nuclear fusion. Researchers are interested in this type of supernova because they can be used to measure precise distances to other galaxies.
The Universe is a big place, and supernova explosions are fleeting. How is it possible to be in the right place at the right time to catch a supernova when it happens? Today, most supernovae are discovered by robotic telescopes that continuously scan the night sky. But some are still found the old-fashioned way, by careful observers who take repeated images of the sky and search for changes. SN 2022abvt was spotted by the Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System, or ATLAS. As the name suggests, ATLAS was designed to track down the faint, fast-moving signals from asteroids close to Earth. In addition to searching out asteroids, ATLAS also keeps tabs on objects that brighten or fade suddenly, like supernovae, variable stars and galactic centres powered by hungry black holes.
[Image Description: In the exact centre a supernova is seen as a small but bright blue dot. It lies atop a spiral galaxy, close to the glowing centre and next to some bright patches of blue stars in the galaxy. A small number of more minor galaxies are visible around the comparatively large spiral as small glowing discs, while further distant galaxies are seen as mere orangish spots and smudges, all on a black background.]
