Black Sand Beach (Reynisfjara/Vík)
Location: Reynisfjara beach near Vík í Mýrdal, Southern Iceland, is famous for its striking black volcanic sand and dramatic basalt sea stacks (Reynisdrangar) rising from the ocean.
Coordinates: 63.403° N, 19.045° W
Terrain: Volcanic black sand beach with towering sea stacks, a unique backdrop for astrophotography, especially with clear skies.
Mars & Jupiter near Orion (September 10, 2024)
Mars: On September 10, 2024, Mars will be located in the constellation Gemini, near Orion’s right side. It will be visible in the evening sky, about 20° above the horizon, making it a prominent feature for your shot.
Jupiter: At this time, Jupiter will be in Taurus, positioned near Aldebaran (the eye of the bull). Jupiter will be brighter than Mars and slightly to the left of Orion, with an apparent magnitude of around -2.6, making it easily visible in dark skies above the beach.
Orion Rising: By early September, Orion will begin to rise in the eastern sky in the pre-dawn hours, with its characteristic three-star belt and red supergiant Betelgeuse. On this night, it will rise around midnight from the east, positioning itself above the iconic rock formations of Vík’s black sand beach.
Astrophotography Data:
Captured with Canon EOS RA,Askar h alpha filter, Sigma art 28 mm lens 3 pannel panorma RGBHA
Time for best capture: Around 3 am to early morning, Capture the rising Orion, Mars, and Jupiter.
H-alpha signal: Orion contains several H-alpha-emitting nebulae, such as the Orion Nebula (M42) and the Horsehead Nebula, making it ideal for capturing red emission highlights
