The image was made with a Takahashi FS60C and a Canon 5D.

Bright and colorful Perseid meteor!
The show is getting more intense and my camera just made it capturing this bright Perseid meteor before the clouds came in.

Moon from Spaceship Earth!
Many times we don't realize that we are living aboard a fast moving spaceship and sometimes we need to remind ourselves about that, since its the only one we've got!

Electrical City!
Last Sunday, a major thunderstorm came into our city and gave us a spectacular view which reminded me the laser shows of Jean Michelle Jarre!

Re: Submissions: 2013 July
The joy of astronomy! Under the pristine dark skies of Mt Grammos Greece, amateur astronomers from all around the country, gathered to enjoy the splendors of the night sky. I was lucky enough to make this image of gamma Cygni with the proper name Sadr and its neighborhood hydrogen nebula. Its so nic...

The father of Alexander the Great is watching comet Panstarrs in Thessaloniki Greece. I wonder what is he thinking now? Maybe he sees the comet as a good sign for a future military expedition? Maybe not. Anyway, it is always remarkable when two great icons are joined together! http://www.stellar-exp...

Stop Mr. Comet, we have to see you!
Comet Panstarrs is moving fast to the western horizon, besides the street lights! I could see it with naked eyes today and could see the tail. Beautiful! http://www.stellar-explosions.com/StopComet!.jpg I wish it wasn't moving as fast so I could enjoy the beautiful view more. Constantine Emmanouilidi
