Re: APOD: Lightning over Colorado (2016 Dec 05)
I was in Colorado at that time and took this picture from just east of Bailey. It was a seriously impressive storm. I've done no image manipulation other than cropping. My location was 39.439300, -105.413331 which is about 50-60 miles north northwest of Palmer Park. My camera says it was 8:28pm loca...

My first thought was toasted marshmallow, but I also thought pillow. Seeing the different filter versions, it looks like it has a pillow inside the outer parts.
So I vote for Pillowcase Nebula.

Re: APOD: Cas A: Optical and X ray (2013 Jan 17)
I love seeing multiwavelength composites of interesting things that span quite a large part of the electromagnetic spectrum! However, I think this APOD would have been better if it showed the optical and the x-ray image was a mouseover, this would make comparion easier. That is a good idea, thanks!...

Aviatress, I believe you owe Bud Kuenzli a public apology in this forum. Given the depth and multitude of his aurora photos, he has no reason to copy a photo of aurora from a desktop wallpaper file. None. The two photos aren't even close to the same. Yes, they are green aurora. But the Vista one isn...
