Let's just keep driving on
All the stars jumping in through the windows
Let's go where we belong
Headed fast as we can for the unknown
You can stay there
And it's not fair
Those were the days when we laughed all the while
When the fireflies
Lit up our skies
Those were the nights when the world made us smile

The Great Andromeda Galaxy, M31, is the closest spiral galaxy to ours - and considered our mirror image. Visible by the unaided eye, from darker suburban skies, it occupies a region of the sky equivalent to almost 6 full moons - about 3 degrees. Between its size and brightness, M31 is easily discernible in even wide field DSLR images of the night sky - even relatively shot exposures without tracking.
Two satellite galaxies of Andromeda are also visible - M110 (top, center) and M32 (below and right of center).
Looks like my sensor needs some cleaning... dark areas in the extended nebulosity (top and left) are likely dust on the sensor.

The Lovell Telescope poking out of the fog. The remaining towers of Fiddler's Ferry (I think) in the background.
Peter and Oleg are looking at holiday photos
OLEG:
What are you doing there Peter?
PETER:
I'm looking over there. I thought maybe I'll see my dear princess Rosie and my best friend Scout in Australia. It's a tel...teo....eh .... binoculars.
You can see very far and big with them. But I saw everything in miniature.
OLEG:
Oh...you mean a telescope.
That's because you were looking into the wrong glass. You have to look at the other side of the telescope. Then, when it's dark, you can see the night sky properly. Australia is too far away, you can't see that with the telescope.
PETER:
I do want to see the night sky, are we going to Middelburg again?
OLEG:
Maybe next holiday
By the way, the statue you're sitting on is Mr Hans Lipperhey
Who invented the telescope in 1608.
PETER:
I think that Mr Hans was certainly very good at learning at school

Hopefully tomorrow I'll be back on the network as the engineer is coming to connect me to fiber optic broadband!
Lors du lancement du télescope spatial Hubble il y a 35 ans, personne n'aurait pu imaginer à quel point il allait transformer notre vision de l'espace. Lancé le 24 avril 1990, le télescope poursuit aujourd'hui sa mission. Pour célébrer son anniversaire, la NASA a publié quatre images récentes prises par Hubble, qui prouvent sa pérennité, même après trois décennies !

When the launched 35 years ago, no one would have guessed how much it would shape the way we view space. Launched on April 24, 1990, the telescope continues its mission today. To celebrate its anniversary, NASA released four recent images taken by Hubble that prove its staying power even after three decades !

This image is comprised of Ha and OIII band data, and for the first time I have a target where the OIII signal is far stronger than the Ha signal. In my rendering of this image that I posted a week ago, I could barely, if at all, see any evidence of the Ha in the image.
I altered my PixInsight workflow three ways to improve the original image and obtain this result. Before mapping the Ha and OIII to the RGB channels, I applied LinearFit to increase the intensity of the Ha data to match the OIII. After mapping Ha and OIII to the RGB channels, I applied SPCC, this time with Ideal QE Curve selected, and using Photon Flux for the Whte Reference. And lastly, I selected OIII as luminance when I mixed the colors in NarrowbandNormalization.
As a result of the alternate processing, I can see Ha depicted as a goldish color in the outlying wispy areas, and within the target object.
Equipment:
ZWO ASI6200MM-P/EFW 2" x 7 (HO)
TeleVue NP101is (4" f/4.3)
Losmandy G11
Software:
Captured in NINA
Processed in PixInsight
Finished in Affinity Photo
Integration:
Ha 20 x 600s = 3:20
OIII 26 x 600s = 4:20
Total integration: 7:40

Nothing extraordinary about this post except that this might be my last upload for this month as tomorrow onwards, I'll be on vacation to India for Diwali.
Since I have become so addicted to flickr so I still donno how I'll manage without visiting your uploads and obviously without uploading some new pics :)
But I think, it is a much deserved break from my routine busy life. I hope you have a great month...Keep clicking and keep uploading. I'll be back to visit them as soon as possible. :)
And yes, Wish u all a very happy and prosperous Diwali.
For my friends who don't know what Diwali is, here is a description from Wiki:
'Diwali (also spelled Devali in certain regions) or Deepawali, popularly known as the "festival of lights", is an important festival in Hinduism, Jainism, and Sikhism, celebrated for different reasons, occurring between mid-October and mid-November. For Hindus, Diwali is one of the most important festivals of the year and is celebrated in families by performing traditional activities together in their homes. For Jains, Diwali marks the attainment of moksha or nirvana by Mahavira in 527 BC. For Sikhs, Diwali is celebrated as Bandhi Chhor Diwas (The Celebration of Freedom), and celebrates the release from prison of the sixth guru, Guru Hargobind, who also rescued 52 Hindu kings held captive by Mughal Emperor with him in the Gwalior Fort in 1619.
Deepavali is an official holiday in India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Mauritius, Guyana, Trinidad & Tobago, Suriname, Malaysia, Singapore, and Fiji.
The name "Diwali" is a contraction of "Deepavali" (Sanskrit: दीपावली Dīpāvalī), which translates into "row of lamps". Diwali involves the lighting of small clay lamps (diyas or dīpas) in Sanskrit: दीप) filled with oil to signify the triumph of good over evil. During Diwali, all the celebrants wear new clothes and share sweets and snacks with family members and friends.
Diwali commemorates the return of Lord Rama, along with Sita and Lakshmana, from his 14-year-long exile and vanquishing the demon-king Ravana. In joyous celebration of the return of their king, the people of Ayodhya, the Capital of Rama, illuminated the kingdom with earthen diyas and by bursting firecrackers.'
HBW!!!!
If I read the map correctly, this is a photo of Telescope Peak,the highest point within Death Valley National Park at 3366m above sea level.
Dad's Taxi duties very nearly torpedoed all of my plans yesterday evening, but I finally managed to escape just before sunset using the tried and tested 'Monty needs his walk!' excuse.
We had some quite intense showers in these parts that cleared very suddenly. This left a very definite line of dark clouds that were lit up by the setting sun.
In a flash of inspiration I made a detour from my intended walk at Croome down to the nearby radio telescope at Defford. The dish and the workings underneath are painted white, and I thought they would look good under dark skies in the fading light.
It turned out to be quite a productive half hour or so.

I'm still practicing my skills on photographing planets. And it's very difficult to focus through a dim image in the viewfinder.

I was happy to see Telescope Live recently imaged this, so I go the data and processed using Astro Pixel Processor, PS and LR.

I originally processed data from Roboscopes to get this image:

but I'm much happier with the shot you see here.
Sunset over snow-covered Telescope Peak in the Panamint Valley. I went to Death Valley National Park over a recent weekend and was lucky enough to see this sunset and view on the drive home.
This image is looking back toward the east at the range that marks the western boundry of Death Valley. The Panamint valley runs parllel to Death Valley but is one mountain range further west.
Photo taken in the Panamint Valley near the junction of Highway 190 and Panamint Valley Road (California, USA).
This 1 km ball of ice was a remarkable visitor for 2021
Different colors are due to different materials being illuminated.
The green at the tip is primarily due to unstable C2 molecules.
The tail shows great variability.
