Me and the Milky Way
http://www.lucperrot.fr/
Copyright: Luc Perrot For this self-portrait, I had the idea to placing me right at the base of the Milky Way. The South Cross is located just above my head. In the top right of the image, we see the LMC and the brilliant Canopus
Location: Plaine des Sables (2200m) / Réunion Island.

Luc Perrot, that's a beautiful image! With the clouds "radiating away" from the horizon and the bar of the Large Magellanic Cloud apparently being "catapulted away" in the same direction, it almost looks as if you were setting off a super-fantastic cosmic fireworks display, with multicolored lights popping everywhere overhead and streamers of stars flying away above us!

I took this image at my dark sky site with a 4" TSA refractor and QSI camera.
I hope you consider it worthy of selection

I was looking for a good title for this photo. "Cosmic Fireworks" seems to be a great idea. Thanks a lot Ann!it almost looks as if you were setting off a super-fantastic cosmic fireworks display
Re: Recent Submissions: 2011 February 1-3
That's a very fine image of the Orion Nebula, Paul Haese. I like the structural detail, the varying degrees of "illumination" across the face of the nebula, and the colors.

Hello
Here is a colorful drawing, published in the newspaper "Le Parisien", on Sunday 15th May 1910. At this time, the Halley cometa appeared in the sky, thus parisians went out to see it, at night, on the roofs of the city. The Halley cometa aroused everybody's curiosity.
I hope you enjoy it
Céline
PS: credits for the Observatory of Paris, where i have taken the picture.
I wanted to attach a bigger picture, but maximum allowed size is 320 KiB. It is strange because sometimes i have the impression i can attach bigger picture. I assume maybe it is due to the fact this picture is a "macro" (little, for instance when you take flowers, very closely, in picture) with a "flash" (light).

Re: Recent Submissions: 2011 February 1-3
As a student I used to live in Paris in the 1970-ies and went out to the suburbs in 1973 with some friend to observe Kohoutek, the "comet of the century". We were approached by an old man who told us about his observations of Halleys comet in 1910. My expectations were very high for the next 13 years waiting for the hyped return of Halley in 1986 but it was a big let-down just like Kohotek had been previously. But still, I was under the impression of observing an historic comet thanks to the encounter with that old man.Here is a colorful drawing, published in the newspaper "Le Parisien", on Sunday 15th May 1910. At this time, the Halley cometa appeared in the sky, thus parisians went out to see it, at night, on the roofs of the city. The Halley cometa aroused everybody's curiosity.

Hi, This is my first post here. I wanted to share my 8 frame mosaic of the Orion region. This was shot over 9 nights from my backyard in El Paso, Texas. Total exposure time is about 30 hours. The final image is HUGE, over 60 megapixels.
Equipment used:
Takahashi FSQ-106ED with Astrodon MMOAG
Fingerlakes Instruments ML11002 CCD
Baader Ha filter
Losmandy G11 Gemini, with an Ovision worm
Guided with a Meade DSI Pro
Stacked & Calibrated in Maxim DL, Registered in Registar and assembled and Photoshop
Thanks for looking,
Eric

Click on the image above to see a high-resolution version and a mouse-over with object and constellation identifications.
There's also a little visitor present. For a small challenge, see if you can find it and figure out what it is before you do the mouse-over.

That's a delightfully detailed image, Jerry! I love it.
This is what I found in the picture:
Thanks for that cosmic treasure trove, Jerry!

Hmm - maybe I shouldn't have written that, if people want to take Jerry's challenge seriously. I don't know how to use the spoiler function. Owlice, can you edit my post and just keep the first line, then add "This is what I found in the picture" and then use the spoiler function to hide the rest?

Re: Recent Submissions: 2011 February 1-3
Good idea, Ann, and done!
The "spoiler" tag works just like the others: highlight what you want in the spoiler, and click the spoiler button. Cool tag, I think!
