LAGOON NEBULA. . We’ve finally had a few stella

LAGOON NEBULA.
.
We’ve finally had a few stellar evenings during this week’s new moon, making up for several really crappy months of new moon weather, just in time for peak milky way core viewing at our latitude. Last night was exceptionally stunning - by around 2am the full milky way arch was clearly visible to the naked eye and the night sky really had that “3D” look where you really feel you are but a tiny part of the cosmos. Really not bad for Bortle 4 skies.
.
So… lots of pics to share once manage to catch up with processing. This one was taken last night in our driveway - swipe to see a detail and the position of the nebula in the sky at around 1am.
.
The Lagoon Nebula is a giant interstellar cloud in the constellation Sagittarius. It’s estimated to be between 4,000-6,000 light-years away from the Earth with a size of about 110 by 50 light years. It is one of only two star-forming nebulae faintly visible to the eye from mid-northern latitudes.
.
Other names: Messier 8 or M8, NGC 6523, Sharpless 25, RCW 146, and Gum 72.
.
Shot info: Nikon Z7a with 70-200mm f/2.8 and 1.4x TC (at 280mm f/5) and CCD clip-in filter. Tracked exposures of only 16 x 2min and some dark frames.

Happy to report that the young magpie we rescued last week after a night of extreme winds was released a few days later and rejoined its siblings. We spotted its parents feeding it shortly after it made its way to its nest, so we’re confident it was reintegrated successfully. 🥰 ❤️
.
This image was taken about an hour after its release, on its way up to its nest.

Core of Cygnus 🦢 🔭
.
Swipe to see its location in the sky if you’re not sure.
.
Last night we finally had wonderfully clear skies - first nice evening in so long! Unfortunately I couldn’t stay up to late but managed about 15 x 90sec exposures before having to call it a night. The sky doesn’t get quite dark enough these days until about 23:15, so there’s a much shorter window of opportunity compared to winter astrophotography.
.
So, this is only about 20 min total exposure time on the central part of the Swan, featuring the North American Nebula in the bottom left. You may have to tilt your head to the left to “see” it.

Happy Earth Day 🌱 🌎
.
Everyone you have ever known, every memory you have ever made is on that “Pale Blue Dot”.
.
Image, of course, from @nasa
Words from #carlsagan
.
Carl Sagan was a member of the Voyager Imaging Team. He had the original idea in 1981 to use the cameras on one of the two Voyager spacecraft to image Earth. He realized that because the spacecraft were so far away the images might not show much. This was precisely why Sagan and other members of the Voyager team felt the images were needed — they wanted humanity to see Earth’s vulnerability and that our home world is just a tiny, fragile speck in the cosmic ocean.

Starless image of the Heart and Soul Nebulae. This

Starless image of the Heart and Soul Nebulae. This is my first image taken with my newly astro-modified Nikon Z (from @lifepixelinfrared ), so was eager to get a couple of hours of data with it last night. The 45MP are wonderful to work with! However, with my cold fingers last night I just missed perfect focus on the stars and basically messed up a nice, sharp image. It was also quite windy at times. So here’s a starless version nevertheless, which is still worth sharing IMHO 🙂 ✨ 🌌.
.
.
Roughly 25 subs of 2 minutes each, with Nikon 70-200 f/2.8 (at f/3.5 and 135mm), cropped.
.
.

(from NASA): Located near the constellation Cassiopeia, about 6,000 light-years from Earth, the Heart and Soul nebulae form a vast star-forming complex that makes up part of the Perseus spiral arm of our Milky Way galaxy. The nebula at the bottom is the Heart, designated IC 1805 and named after its resemblance to a human heart. Above it is the Soul nebula, also known as the Embryo nebula, IC 1848 or W5. The Perseus arm lies further from the center of the Milky Way than the arm that contains our sun. The Heart and Soul nebulae stretch out nearly 580 light-years across, covering a small portion of the diameter of the Milky Way, which is roughly 100,000 light-years across. The two nebulae are both massive star-making factories, marked by giant bubbles that were blown into surrounding dust by radiation and winds from the stars.

It’s been so windy these past few nights... frustrating when there’s no moon and clear skies! I captured about 3 hours of data last night of the Jellyfish nebula and maybe only 5 of the 2-min subs were free of camera shake due to the wind.

Mars has been in the news a lot these days! With NASA’s successful landing of the #perseverance rover we’ve seen some incredible images coming back.
.
On March 3, 2021, Mars and the Pleiades star cluster – also known as the Seven Sisters – were at their closest conjunction in 30 years and they won’t appear to be this close again until 2038.
.
This stacked image was taken last night in my driveway (March 8), so not quite in conjunction but pretty close. Mars seems to be “glowing” because several of my subs had a thin veil of high clouds which were semi-concealing Mars, acting as a diffuser.

California Nebula. I’ve rotated and cropped the image to more or less match the state for which it bears its nickname.
.
More formally known as NGC 1499, it is an emission nebula located in the constellation Perseus, about 1000 light years from earth.
.
Taken from my driveway last night. About 25 stacked images of 120 seconds each plus about 10 dark frames. ISO 800 on Nikon D5500a at about 200mm.

My first attempt at Andromeda Galaxy. Taken last night in the backyard.
.
The almost-full-moon rose at about 9pm last night, so I only had about 1 hour of decent darkness to capture this image before the sky was more or less washed out.
.
About 20 stacked images at 90sec each + some dark frames. Nikon D5500a at 280mm (70-200 f/2.8 + 1.4TC).
.
Andromeda is the nearest galaxy to the Milky Way, at about 2.5 million light years. It’s the most distant object and the only spiral galaxy outside our Milky Way able to be seen with the naked eye. If you live in a (decently) dark sky area, you can probably spot it with binoculars once you let your eyes adjust to the night.
.
I hope you are enjoying my adventures into astro photography! ... I’m loving it. 🌌 ✨

Top nine from 2020, but with only 1 pic actually taken in 2020 in this grid - the one from the Cliffs of Moher, taken 2 weeks before the 💩 hit the fan with covid19. All the others are from my recent archives. 🤷🏻‍♂️

This year I’ll be focusing a lot more on improving my astrophotography, as it is a genre that I can more frequently shoot from my backyard. A few trips are indeed planned, but there’s no telling when travel will resume as before. I think it may be a while...

Soon these guys will be back in our garden for the winter. Wary, but very photogenic (aren’t all birds? 😉).

Repost from a couple of years ago: Watch this Eurasian Jay go to work on this feeder. I call them the “backyard bullies” since they chase everything else away when they’re around, including woodpeckers and magpies.
.
Like many birds, I love how they meticulously dismantle the larger seeds, while the little ones go down in a two-step “grab-and-gulp” process. See the middle part of the video at 25% speed to see what I mean...

Yet another star trail shot around Polaris. Not much foreground in this one but this composite has almost 500 exposures... 492 to be precise. 15 seconds each with 5 seconds between exposures for 3 images per minute.
.
In order that Photoshop doesn’t grind to a halt I process these in batches - I export 4000px jpegs from Lightroom (half resolution of D850), then work in stacked groups of 100 images in order to mask the numerous plane light trails. Finally I stack these individual composites together for a final image to retouch and flatten. Exporting the images from Lightroom takes a while but once that’s done it takes about an hour...

A star trail stack of about 100 images from August

A star trail stack of about 100 images from August 20 (new moon), taken from our driveway. Bit of distortion in the corners but I don’t mind the result, even with Instagram-crop. The orange glow is light from the town of La Chaux-de-Fonds, about 10km away.
.
I limited the ISO to 1000 in order to not blow out (whiten/overexpose) the colour of the stars.
.
Nikon D850 and Samyang 14mm f/2.8.
.
2 images per minute @ 20 second exposure each ✨
