Starship Asterisk*

Whether or not you think APOD should feature videos from time to time, today's moving picture would have been much less compelling without the video. I have never seen a pulsating aurora before, even as a video. I wouldn't know what to make of the picture if it were a still photo and the descriptio...

Hello, Thank you to appreciate. Sorry, Dr. Bob, but transcribe a phenomenon so dynamic, is impossible, other than with a video. For technical reasons, the filmed portions are quite narrow (full frame camera, 24mm lens, F1,4). To the naked eye, it seemed a flow of energy, extremely fast, that were fl...

Hello, Thank you all to enjoy this picture. I am very honored to be able to share it with you. For these "explosive" aurora, you must make very short exposure as not to smooth the shining effect. You must also use an ultra wide angle lens at full aperture. For this picture, the lens used i...

I understand your uncertainty, watch24, to the river that seems leaning. The reason is simple. As you read my post above, you would have seen that the picture is taken with a 24X36 camera and a ultra wide angle lens (18 mm), which causes a significant distortion in the picture.
