Beautiful, Bogdan Borz. I have just become aware of your great astrophotography.

What I love most about your picture is that it "puts Westerlund 2 into perspective". When I looked at your picture of the Carina Nebula, I recognized everything in it except the little blue crescent at upper right. The reason why didn't recognize it is because I had never before seen a wide angle picture where we can actually see the location in the sky of this great cluster and nebula.
Wikipedia wrote:
April 23, 2015: NASA and ESA are celebrating the Hubble Space Telescope's silver anniversary of 25 years in space by unveiling some of nature's own fireworks — a giant cluster of about 3,000 stars called Westerlund 2. The cluster resides inside a vibrant stellar breeding ground known as Gum 29, located 20,000 light-years away in the constellation Carina. The comparatively young, 2-million-year-old star cluster contains some of our galaxy's hottest, brightest, and most massive stars. The largest stars are unleashing a torrent of ultraviolet light and hurricane-force winds that etch away the enveloping hydrogen gas cloud. This creates a fantasy celestial landscape of pillars, ridges, and valleys.

ABOUT THIS IMAGE: The brilliant tapestry of young stars flaring to life resemble a glittering fireworks display in the 25th anniversary NASA Hubble Space Telescope image to commemorate a quarter century of exploring the solar system and beyond since its launch on April 24, 1990.

Thank you very much Ann ! Sorry for the delayed response, I was less active lately because of the pandemic and I just saw the notification. Now I will recognize it too, I wasn't aware that it was on the field. Really interesting.

Best regards,
Bogdan

M64 Going into the gravity of the Blak Hole Eye Galaxy

The Black Eye Galaxy (also called Evil Eye Galaxy and designated Messier 64, M64, or NGC 4826) is a relatively isolated.

The Black Eye Galaxy, also known as Messier 64 (M64), is a famous spiral galaxy located in the constellation Coma Berenices.

The galaxy is also sometimes called the Evil Eye Galaxy or Sleeping Beauty Galaxy. It has the designation NGC 4826 in the New General.

Catalogue Messier 64 is also notable for being composed of two counter-rotating disks, roughly equal in mass. The inner disk contains the galaxy’s spectacular dust clouds and lanes. All the stars in the Black Eye Galaxy rotate in the same direction as the gas in M64’s core region, clockwise, while the gas in the outer regions rotates in the other direction.</r>

NGC 4535 is a barred galaxy and one of the largest galaxies in the Virgo Cluster, a massive cluster of as many as 2000 galaxies, about 50 million light-years away. Although the Virgo Cluster is not much larger in diameter than the Local Group — the galaxy cluster to which the Milky Way belongs — it contains almost fifty times as many galaxies.

The small nucleus is of type HII, meaning the spectrum resembles that of and H II region, as you can see if you make zoom, you will see it.

Thank you for this highly detailed view of NGC 2442 and its surroundings, Mark. It's a lot of fun to look at the full size image and try to figure out which grayish patches are stellar halos around galaxies and which are IFN. Then again, maybe some of the gray stuff is a cloud of gas torn loose from NGC 2442?
Wikipedia wrote:

Associated with this galaxy is HIPASS J0731-69, a cloud of gas devoid of any stars.[3] It is likely that the cloud was torn loose from NGC 2442 by a companion.
Your image also allowed me to find a nearby dwarf galaxy seemingly situated next to bright NGC 2442 at about 50 million light-years away. The dwarf galaxy, which I took the liberty of copying from you image, is partly resolved, even though it is so faint and contains so few stars and such faint clusters. It must be quite nearby.

Thanks again!

At this time you can observe an interesting encounter between Venus and Pleiades in the constellation Taurus. Visibility may be worse because of the present moon, but it also opens up new possibilities for creative photography.

The object in the background is the Remote Radar Post in Stara Ves nad Ondrejnici, Czech Republic. This RRP is (as far as I know) in operation since 1977 and the last known unit present at this station was in 2003. Current inhabitants of the base are unknown, but the place is still guarded by a military unit.

IC 2631 is a blue reflection nebula in the far southern constellation of Chamaeleon. It surrounds a young T Tauri star HD973000, about 500 light years away. It lies in the Chamaeleon Cloud Complex which is a large star forming region that includes the Chamaeleon I, Chamaeleon II, and Chamaeleon III dark clouds. The Chamaeleon Complex occupies nearly all of the constellation Chamaeleon and overlaps into Apus, Musca, Carina and Octans. The dust partially or nearly totally obscures the stars within and behind it.

Geoff, I hope you don't mind, but I inserted a small version of a small part of your image, because I thought it would be nice if people could see something of your image.

Note to everybody: Geoff''s image is much wider, much more highly resolved and, of course, just generally much better. Do take a look at the large version of it!

Venus and Orion from the South

In the southern hemisphere, Orion is a summer constellation so seeing it setting in the west in the evenings signals the end of the summer and the transition to longer and colder nights ahead. Venus shining brightly in the twilight is always welcome!
