25/2/19 #2247. Today's image presented itself when I came in to the kitchen this morning - my Amaryllis is coming in to flower.
A shot of what I am told is the Triffid nebula (I am open to any expert help on this ID) taken with my old Canon 6D and a basic 200mm prime lens. I was lucky to live in a country town in Victoria near some very dark sky sites, but this was just taken from my back garden.
Tripod mounted. I had to crank up the ISO as I couldn't go much more than 4 seconds on the exposure time due to star trails being an issue. These days, there is all sorts of wonderful image stacking software to get around this, but I was pleased to get this from a basic set up and a single exposure. I did boost the saturation a little to help bring out the colour and detail.
I wasn't actually setting out to get this nebula - I just thought I would point the camera straight up at a bright section of the milky way and see what was there! I am constantly amazed at the night sky!
ExPLoReD! No 386 on 27th March 2012. Thanks guys and gals.
We couldn't resist taking a photo of these scary triffid like trees, which as we speak, are marching across Norfolk in their quest for world domination!
Something terrible is happening at AL's.
Years and years ago AL was paid by a stranger without credits with some Pulchrosa Tryffida Sideralis seeds (an indigenous plant from planet Hathilles). He planted those seeds just in front of his diner, because this particular species can survive even in absence of atmosphere and he wanted to embellish the facade, and he also claimed he had green fingers. What he didn't know, at the time, was that those plants are carnivorous. Most of his occasional clients don't know it either. So, every now and then, someone is eaten up by these plants.
That's what is happening to Harris right now. He arranged to meet Violet for dinner at AL's; actually, a colleague of him set them up on a blind date. She was waiting on the bench, just in front of the diner and he was late because he got trouble with the engines of his spaceship. And as if that wasn't enough, he forgot home the flowers he bought for her. So, when he arrived, without being seen, he plucked some flowers from the nearer triffid and...well, you know! Definitely worst date ever!

Well, yeah, I shamelessly copied his triffids

Without the roof. You can see the bar, the kitchen (on top right) and the Space Cola stockroom (on top left).
The uncurling stamens of a bottlebrush flower.
It's hard to believe that these twisted stamens will straighten to give the flower the characteristic appearance of a bottlebrush (see below).

In this image M21 is the star cluster top left with M20, known as the Triffid nebula, lower right.
M20, at a maximum height above my horizon between 12 and 15 degrees is just about the lowest deep sky object I can sensibly capture from my observatory, anything lower on the horizon isn't clear of obstructions long enough to capture a decent image without a very long run of clear nights. M8 is just about possible but has a shorter window of opportunity than M20.
This is a combination of H Alpha, green and blue data to create a colour image.

Have a Fabulous Hump Day Wednesday Ya'll..:)
It looks like the triffids are looking to an upsurge in reinforcements to wipe out mankind, we have to make sure that they don't become as one General.!!...
Alien forces would out number us 2.to 1 at the very least.
Contact command centre and tell them of our predicament.. General... They have to call the War Council to make a prompt response to the situation !!!!!!
Time is something that we don't have, we need to ATTACK NOW. We have to Stop the reinforcements from making contact with the Alien Army while we find a way to make sure Alied Force's are able to Win this War not just the Battle and to send a message to All alien forces that MANKIND has the technology to repel them all.. General..!!! We have a war to win, Let's Do it.....
One thing that sprung to mind as I was standing amoungst the fields of sunflowers... Will the flowers suddenly start waking like they did in Day of the Triffids?

Not seen that often and thought to be due to the high winds caused by Storm Gertrude. My friend Doug 1st alerted me to these the evening before when he saw them above his house but I missed them. But there they were again this morning as I was leaving for work. I only had time to shoot about a dozen hasty pictures from my drive before starting my commute. They reminded me of the meteor shower in John Wyndham's 'Day Of The Triffids'... Maybe tomorrow we'll all wake up blind... It's the end of the world!
Planet Venus at magnitude -4.6 visiting the Milky Way. The planet was just in the middle of the great rift next to the Lagoon and Trifid nebulas.
This scene will repeat itself in 2021 as Venus comes back to exactly the same position in the sky every 8 years.
The Trifid Nebula (M20, NGC 6514) is located in the north-west of Sagittarius in a star-forming region in the Scutum–Centaurus Arm of the Milky Way. The object is an unusual combination of an open cluster of stars, an emission nebula (the relatively dense, reddish-pink portion), a reflection nebula (the blue portion), and a dark nebula (the 'gaps' in the red area that cause the trifurcated appearance.
The image was obtained with a Celestron Origin automatic telescope.
I just finished grabbing the data for this one on Saturday night, remotely from Spain...Its the first data set from the new camera..... M20 The Triffid Nebula, Imaged with the 17in Planewave and FLI Kepler KL4040 ....Its taken a little time to get my head around this camera but I think I'm finally there with it now. Exposure time was only 1hr each in LRGB, luminance were 60s subs, and the RGB were all 120s....
Imaged at 20 degrees so not the best for such a long focal length but Im still very pleased with the result.
Thanks for looking

Messier 20, commonly known as the Trifid Nebula, is a Hydrogen II region in Sagittarius that is located about 5000 light years from earth. The name "Trifid" means "divided into three lobes" and this describes the impression when seen visually in a Telescope. This object is a combination of an open cluster of stars, an emission nebula (the red portion), and a reflection nebula (the blue portion), making it a rich target for astrophotography. The dark lanes are concentrations of dust and gas that form nurseries for the formation of new stars.
The Open Cluster that can be seen on the bottom towards the left is M21.
This is my first attempt on M20 and is the result of 27 stacked images of two minutes each. It was a very windy evening and my guiding was the worse I have ever seen, but my star images still came out pretty round so I appear to have gotten away with it!
Shot with a William Optics 132mm FLT APO refractor on a IOptron CEM60 mount. Camera was a ZWO ASI294MC-Pro. 30 Dark, 45 flat, and 45 bias calibration exposures. Processed via DeepSky Stacker, Pixinsight and Photoshop. This is preliminary processing to assess last night's capture. I will more carefully reprocess this on a cloudy night!
