Below is a wide field image of NGC6888 in HST palette with the surrounding gas clouds in the region. Directly above the bright star (lower centre of image) can be seen very faintly the "Soap Bubble Nebula". This can be seen more clearly in the full size image at the link below. Total exposure time is over 11 hours

I drove out to the back country area above Hanmer Springs on the South Island of New Zealand to capture this 360 degree seamless pano of the night sky.

There's quite a lot going on with this image - you have the Milky Way which can be seen arching over the landscape in the right of frame, and below that you can see a natural phenomena know as gravity waves. The glow in the centre of frame is from the lights of Christchurch 130km away, and to the left of that are the Magellanic Clouds, which are a duo of irregular dwarf galaxies visible only from the Southern Hemisphere. The faint triangular glow to the far left of frame is the Zodiacal Light, which is caused by sunlight scattered by space dust in the zodiacal cloud, and in this case, is seen just before morning twilight.

Super or Perigee Moon

Post by conemmil » Mon Jul 14, 2014 8:48 pm

Last Saturday the New Moon would be aligned precisely with the temple of Poseidon in Sounion Athens. I drove many kilometers from northern Greece to make this image and had to pass between a big bushfire close to the area of the temple. Luckily calculations and the sky was perfectly clear to see the event with awe and get inspiration. I wonder what the ancient greeks were thinking about when watching something similar!

The image was made with a Takahashi FSQ106 refracting telescope and a DSLR camera.

Universal Love

The stars and the galactic core of our Milky Way shine bright over my girlfriend and I at Coolum Beach, Australia. Cropped from a full 360 panorama. 120s, f3.2, ISO3200 for the foreground. 60s, f2.8, ISO3200 for stars (tracked using Astrotrac). Hope you enjoy.
