Starship Asterisk*

I think it is a really nice image...

Stunning image... it is somewhat diffuse around the edges...is this due to gravitational influences from the Milky Way, or one of its own satellites?

Always an awesome video...

A wondrous and dusty place...

Awesome and very CRISP view...

It is a great image, good overall detail...

Well, I hope the research bears this out...

Great image... despite the description...

Ciao...

The description says that the Moon and Jupiter rose together in the southwest after sunset. I don't think that it is possible for the Moon or any of the planets to rise the southwest. Oops! I was going to comment the same... they ROSE in the east, long before Sunset...they were..."nearer the s...

Very nice, and detailed...

Here is one from 1890!!! I think it is AMAZING!! You can see some "whispy" details...

Awesome... Clicking on the image...looking at the turned large image...with your pareidolia kicking in...it looked to me like a "cosmic ballerina" dancing... Awesome "scape" of my favorite DSO...I am trying to figure out just what is in the picture. The Trapezium is the large whi...

What amazing contrasts between so apparently close objects...

Nice image. I like the inner part of the halo...the lighter gray-whitish areas... I have rarely seen that.

Awesome image...very vivid... I had gotten a copy of "Barnard's Handbook", it is a loose leaf notebook and thick. I was suppose the have gotten a second volume, but they had a fire at the time... I think I have some updated paperback version of those...I am not sure... and it is too hard t...

Ooooh... double lenticulars...awesome...

I have only seen a couple here...but thanks to APOD was able to recognized them...

Isn't that amazing?!
Look at the detail around the edges of the nebula, and if you stand on your head you can make out "The Running Man Nebula" at bottom...

Here is an 1890's image of the Pleiades, I found...I don't know any details about the photo, sorry...

How much energy is released when a meteor disintegrates in a flash?

Nice image... very calm

Super cool pic... but the Moon is upside down....

Great work. I love the colors of the dusty areas on the Moon... I don't see that in my photos, will have to check...

I find both to be eye pleasing... the RGB has a more 3D depth to me, and the "Fairy" has a more solid look. Thanks Ann, also for the "Ghost of Jupiter" Nebula as well. In the Hubble pallet image the dusty areas remind me of Octopus Ink in water... My CLOSEUP of the Pillars...lowe...

Looks like a Noctilucent cloud... um...but at DAWN...soo....Dawnilucent????

Great photo...
