In the picture above, the sun has set, but still illuminates the Sierra de las Peñas Blancas, on leaving the Blue Moon, and the mountain of Cerro de la Culebra, on which stands the castle of Alange. The southern base of the hill was habited in 1700 BC, and in the East still use baths built by the Romans. They erected a fortress on top of strategic mound, which was then occupied by Visigoths, Arabs in the ninth century and Christians finally, in 1234, whose remains are those preserved. It was abandoned in the mid-sixteenth century.There is a fault between the rock formations of the Cerro de la Culebra.
En la imagen de arriba, el Sol ya se ha puesto, pero todavía ilumina la Sierra de las Peñas Blancas, sobre la que sale la Luna Azul, y el monte del Cerro de la Culebra, sobre el que se levanta el castillo de Alange. La base Sur del cerro ya estaba habitada en el 1700 ac, y en el lado Este aún se utilizan unas termas construidas por los romanos. Estos levantaron una fortaleza en la cima del estratégico montículo, que después fue ocupada por visigodos, árabes en el siglo IX y finalmente cristianos, en 1234, cuyos restos son los que se conservan. Fue abandonado a mediados del siglo XVI. Se observa una falla entre las formaciones rocosas del Cerro de la Culebra.

Copyright: Daniel Herron I had the pleasure of going to the 1st last roll out (she had two that mission due to external tank issues)of the Space Shuttle Discovery for her last mission, STS133. On her way to the launch pad she passed less than 60 feet from us and I snapped a lot of images as she passed. I took two of those pictures and created a stereoscopic "wiggle" GIF that makes it look like it is either taking off or in 3D!

Very strange to watch, Daniel :shock: , but immensely fun, too. Thanks :ssmile:

Have loved this galaxy since, let's see -- Lincoln was President, I think. This comes from the moderately light polluted skies above Littleton, Colorado, and comprises about 8 hours of LRGB data through an 80mm Stellarvue refractor with an ST-8e on a Paramount ME. Many thanks for viewing; it is a true labor of love.

I finally tried out the Comet Star Trail technique using some time-lapse frames over the largest aperture solar telescope in the world, The McMath-Pierce Solar Telescope at Kitt Peak Observatory in Tucson, Arizona. I also added in a still frame to give this photo more contrast of still-life and movement.

My latest version of the Andromeda Galaxy was shot from my humble back yard observatory in Fremont MI using a very modest in size 4 inch refractor (TMB92SS), 2 different CCD cameras, a monochrome CCD and a One Shot Color CCD, the final image includes sub exposures using a 3nm H-Alpha filter to highlights the HII Regions and nebulae within the Andromeda Galaxy, some of which are larger than the Great Orion Nebula within our very own Milky Way Galaxy.
The image consists of 2 minute combined with 5 and 10 minute exposures for the luminance, 5 and 10 minute exposures for the RGB, 15 minute exposures with a one shot color CCD and finally 20 minute exposures using the 3nm H-Alpha filter using a monochrome CCD Camera.
Total Exposure Time is 18.7 hours.
That is a beauty, Terry. Thanks for the post.

Pelican Nebula wide field. Captured from Corinthia, Greece at 24-26 August 2012. Image orientation is not vertical as for showing the pelican better, but horizontal as it comes from the camera. The whole region is filled with nebulosity.
