The bright red star to the far right is RR Ursae Minoris a 4.7 magnitude binary.
-Magnitude is used to measure the brightness of stellar objects, the higher the number, the fainter the object.
-A binary star belongs to a system of two stars that are gravitationally bound together and locked in orbit around each other.

It could be but it's not.
It's my new fitness watch.
Like many others, we have gained a few "pandemic pounds" we need to get rid of. We thought fitness watches might provide some motivation to get off the couch more often. My wife did the research and our son (the resident techie) helped us figure them out.
It incorporates more features than I can understand but learning how to use it has been a fun project.
It even vibrates every hour to suggest I get up and move around. It's surprising how quickly a sedentary hour passes these days.
Tracking my activities (steps taken, flights of stairs climbed, kilometres cycled or walked, etc.) really has provided motivation to be more active. It has been too easy to spend time indoors (and close to the refrigerator).
I know... we shouldn't need another digital assistant to get us off the couch, but so far this gadget has given us the boost we needed.
Another shot from our Christmas stay in Wales. Reminds me of the film Brigadoon:-)
Recovery disks turned up Monday but unfortunately I had no success with them. Techie guy reckons my new hard drive is a duff one:-( Engineer is coming out on Friday to hopefully fix it, so we are still without our home computer - boo hoo. Mind you yesterday I would have found it difficult to focus on anything after a very 'merry' New Year's Eve party - lol. Spent the day vegging on the sofa watching TV.
Look for it 27,000 light years away in the constellation of Hercules. Also known as NGC 6341 it is one of the oldest star clusters in the Milky Way and was first discovered by Johann Elert Bode in 1777.
With an estimated 300,000 stars 100 light years across it should be quite easy to find in a pair of 10x50 binoculars, the best month for observing it is July.

This is a planetary nebula around 2,600 light years away.
Planetary nebula is formed after a star very much like our own Sun burns through all it's fuel. The star swells up in size and then rapidly shrinks right down to become a white dwarf. As it shrinks, it's gaseous outer layers are left to just simply drift outwards continually expanding. This particular one is approximately 2 light years across.
It gets it's name the Owl Nebula from the two dark patches that kind of look like big beady eyes.

This is an open star cluster in the constellation of Auriga. Sometimes called the Salt & Pepper cluster.
It was first discovered in the early 1650's by Giovanni Battista Hodierna. Later to be independently discovered by Charles Messier in 1764.
The cluster lies 4,511 light years away from us and is estimated to be between 350 and 550 million years old. Quite a few red giants can be seen within the 500+ stars that make up the cluster.
The best time to observe M37 or NGC 2099 as its listed in the New General Catalogue is the months of December, January and february.

As I was leaving an office yesterday, I noticed this book on a table in the waiting room. At first I thought it was.a new issue of National Geographic magazine. Then I realized it is a book.

My friend David Barnes has been following my Black Rock/Brighton Marina series and has sent me some images he took in late 60’s/early 70’s showing the construction of the marina. For the techie’s amongst you the image was taken on Ilford HP4. Brilliant quality.
This diffuse emission nebula also designated SH2-86 in the Sharpless catalogue is the home of the young open star cluster NGC 6823, visible in the centre of the image.
The nebula is estimated to be just under 6,000 light years from us and can be found in the constellation Vulpecula.

I found a place to download some fonts, found the one that I thought would work, downloaded it and managed to install it. It only works with photoshop, but that's what I wanted it for today. Then I coloured the letters and set up the shot using a macro ring. If I wasn't busy the rest of the day, I'd re-set it up, and shoot it on my lightbox rather than the kitchen counter - I didn't 'see' that the pattern of the countertop made the white paper look off... I was needed in the kitchen, so yada yada yada... Have a great day everyone!
About 9,000 light years away in the constellation of Cepheus lies a stellar nursery known as The Northern Lagoon Nebula and designated 7538 in the New General Catalogue.
So far at least thirteen of the newly forming stars within this nebula, known as proto stars, are estimated to have the mass 40x that of our Sun!

Located in the constellation Cepheus and probably better known as the Wizard Nebula. I have to say, from the perspective we see it from 7,000 light years away here on Earth, it does look like a wizard wearing a pointy hat in a robe with baggy sleeves.
The NGC number 7380 is actually for the young 5 million year old open star cluster that has formed within the nebula.
Do you see the wizard in the image?

The pinwheel is a face on spiral galaxy found in the constellation of Ursa major, the great bear. Which is a circumpolar constellation, meaning that it never sets below the horizon in the Northern hemisphere.
21 million light years away and some 170,000 light years in diameter, the galaxy is estimated to contain upwards of one trillion stars. It was first observed by Pierre Méchain on the 21st of March 1781.
M101 is just about visible through a pair of 10x50 binoculars under a dark sky with the right conditions. Though a telescope of 6" and above would be preferable.

M106 can be found in the constellation Canes Venatici. Binoculars will show it as a smudge in a dark enough sky. However, an 8 inch telescope will start to reveal some detail. It's a wonder we see it at all, given that it's almost 24 million light years away from us. Maybe it's the light of the estimated 400 billion stars it holds within that helps us to see it.

NGC 7635 The Bubble Nebula.
The open star cluster to the upper left is M52 the Salt & Pepper cluster.
Discovered by William Herschel in 1787, the Bubble Nebula lies within the boundaries of the constellation of Cassiopeia at a distance of 7,100 light years away. The bubble itself spans some 7 light years across. For perspective the nearest star to our Sun is only 4 light years.
The bubble is expanding at a phenomenal rate. There is a super massive star that is creating the 'stellar winds' causing the bubble to expand. It can be seen in the image to the upper centre within the bubble. These 'stellar winds' are moving at upwards of 4 million miles per hour!
The star is estimated at 4 million years old, so it's just a baby really. Though because it's so massive, it will burn through it's fuel much more quickly. NASA estimate just 10 - 20 million years before it goes BANG as a supernova.
The open star cluster M52, contains over 100 stars and is a little closer to us than the Bubble Nebula. Discovered by Charles Messier in 1774 it's distance is estimated to be somewhere around 4000-5000 light years away.

Darn, this is how I am feeling: I just spent a very frustrating hour trying to figure out how to make layers in Adobe Elements 6, and how to merge two photos. Absolutey no success, unless elevating my blood pressure and learning several new swear words can be called success! SH...!!!! My book doesn't give basic info, and the web online advice does not either. I could not even get the layers palette to open or figure out how to see which photos I had already opened...grrrrrr..I need a tutor! Hug a Horse showed me once and made it look so easy (well, for her..she's the sister with the techie brain!)
Note :This is revised: I cropped the door window frame out as suggested by mississaugapictures
I also found some good BASIC info on About.com and printed it all off so I can try to follow the steps...wish me luck..!

Melanie, me and Christina! I remember this very well, I think it was 1989. Recently back in touch with Chris - am so glad there's a picture of us from that time. Melanie (Christina's sister) now works as a fashion designer, Chris is a computer techie and does a lot of climbing and surfing in her free time. Both are very glam these days. I don't know what I do, really... but I still co ordinate my tops and accessories.
We're in my garden holding guinea pigs Pearl & Barney's babies. I'd forgotten about the rope ladder.
Also known as The Crescent Nebula.
When you see some of the amazing widefield views of this nebula shot with triplet & quad refractors and narrowband filters it almost looks like a brain in space!
Found in the constellation of Cygnus the Swan, the Crescent Nebula is approx 25 light years across.
Around some of the edges you can just make out some faint bluish hue, these are oxygen atoms, these look really awesome in good narrowband images. One day I may have the money to go down that path.

This is a planetary nebula in the constellation of Lyra. Planetary nebula are so named because, they are small, round and look like planets.
A planetary nebula is a star entering the final phases of it's life cycle. The more massive stars go out in spectacular style as a supernova. The smaller stars, like that of our Sun. Enter their penultimate phase, that of a white dwarf star, with a little less pazzazz. Though they are no less beautiful.

Astoria Bridge 1 - www.grantmurrayphotography.com
I was in Oregon for two weeks over August into September this year for a family getaway. My wife took pity on me and encouraged me to go out and spend a bunch of time doing my photography. For anyone with a baby, you will know that free time and "me" time isn't in abundant supply.
I have seen so many images of Astoria Bridge, so trying to create something unique isn't easy...anyhoo, this is my contribution to the burgeoning supply of Astoria Bridge images...I hope you like it.
I used a 10 stop and 3 stop ND filter, plus a 3 stop hard grad ND filter, to get the right level of contrast in the sky, water and around the bridge and pilings.

It's believed that there are over 500,000 stars within this cluster!
That's over half a million Sun's packed together! Can you imagine living on a planet orbiting one of them? You'd need some serious sunblock!

This set of star trails just tickles me, on an eve when I had more or less decided I'm saturated with the challenges of such exercises. (1) I wasn't sure if I was going to get North, because I had some restriction on where I could put the tripod. This cool old stone structure was actually on a curve on a dirt road - to get any further away from it would put my tripod in the road (not that I expected anyone to be driving a rough old dirt road after dark) and I wanted to show the corner to get two sides of the structure, which meant pointing NE in this case. And I wanted to be low so the stars would show through the openings. (2) There are 3 - count 'em, 3 Iridium flares from satellites in this image. Two are really bright and longer than the 3rd, which is over the left side of the structure. Amazing stuff.
Techie notes: Canon 5D Mark III with 14mm F2.8L, ISO 2500, 30 sec @ F2.8 x 154, or about 1 hour 20 min. I also lighted the interior with a blue neon glow stick at the end but decided it took away from the stars so I dropped that image.

I was in San Fran a couple of weeks ago for the "A Slice of Time - SF Bay Photowalk 2013". This image is from the Saturday morning when I co-led the Architecture workshop with the awesome Steve Landeros, Brian Day and Nathan Wirth.
This is an image of the less famous Bay Bridge and Pier One, along the Embarcadero in San Francisco looking towards Yerba Buena Island.
It was an amazing day and a joy to see so many photographers lined up along the waterfront. I loved every minute of being there and the fact that I got an image or two that I'm really happy with is a huge bonus.
I used a 10 ND filter, and stacked a 3 and 1 stop hard grad ND filter, to get the right level of contrast in the the clouds, water and around the pilings.
