Penas das Rodas

Post by dllamas » Fri Sep 25, 2015 9:39 am

It´s autumn, in Spain Milky Way has hidden its center, but when Scorpion lows and disappears into horizon, other wonders appear over it.

In this resolution is complicated, but into this picture we see a lot of things.

At right we see, clearly, the Pleiades and Andromeda, more complicated is observed Aldebaran, above Pleiades, lost between light pollution. Near the arch of the Milky Way we see, very bright, Capella.

At center, if you see at right rock Polaris and to his left, near the trees, Vega. Rising from it we find Deneb in the middle of the arc of the Milky Way.

At left, following Vega and going through Milky Way Altair.

Photo is made at Penas das Rodas, Galicia, Spain. This area is surrounded by towns, but still have a great firmament.

15 vertical photos are covering 270º in two rows. And, of course, it´s a selfie!!! :D

Sorry for my poor english.

The Moon with natural hues but exaggerated color saturation.
For the colors, the mean of 54 separate exposures was computed to keep noise down before increasing saturation. Atmospheric distortion caused the the 54-frame average image to be slightly blurry, so colors from that image were transferred onto a grayscale version of a single, sharper exposure.

I trully like the event, not because of the light that gets to the ground when the earth is between the Sun and the Moon, I love this event, because it's the only way we can trully perciben (see) earth's spherical shape.. Yup, pure science evidence.

Transit of the ISS during the lunar eclipse

Post by Thierry Legault » Mon Sep 28, 2015 10:27 am

Hello,
I had a transit of the ISS during the lunar eclipse, only 10 miles away from my home. The Moon was very low on the horizon (16°), so the ISS was quite far (1100 km).
To my knwoledge, this is the first lunar eclipse photographed with a simultaneous transit of the ISS.
