Re: Recent Submissions
On the morning of the 18th I was able to catch the Chinese Tiangong1 Space Station module under a bright moon and sun rise but just enough to capture some frames (less then 15 sec.). It just cross the star cluster Pleades when detected and heading towards the brightness of the sky.

Circumpolar Star Trails above Alamo Lake

Circumpolar Star Trails over Alamo Lake by Radical Retinoscopy, on Flickr
Two and a half hours of circumpolar star trails are photographed under a moonlit sky at Alamo Lake State Park. The composite was made of 442 twenty second exposures with a Sigma 10-20 mm lens set to 14mm (f/5.0 / ISO 800 / Canon EOS 350D). I was aiming for four hours of exposure time but my battery gave out at around 2.5 hours. Alamo Lake is one of the best dark sky sites in all of Arizona and remains relatively free of light pollution. The distinctive peak in the background is Artillery Peak.

the hour of Pegasus
![Image](http://homepage.univie.ac.at/peter.wienerroither/temp/20111001-012c.jpg)
One day I saw a statue of Pegasus in Vienna and immediately remembered the constellation, so I waited until the constellation had the right place behind the statue and shot the photo.

Re: Recent Submissions
There are very many nice images here, but I only have time for a few comments.
César, thank you for the comparison between the Sun and the Moon! It's a very fine image, and it's a reminder of one of those incredible coincidences of life here on Earth, that the Sun and the Moon, which are so incredibly different in size, seem to have the same angular size when from the Earth. Amazing.
Tunç Tezel, you are another of the highly skilled mainstays of this forum. I love images like the one you posted here. Apart from showing the general brilliance of the winter sky, it sure does justice to Jupiter's magnificence this autumn.
Catalin Beldea, that's a lovely image of a small part of the little blue miracle that is our home in the cosmos.
Chandrashekar, that is such a beautiful image of a starry sky and thunderstorm clouds! And I was happy to identify the Teapot, Sagittarius.
Jimmy Westlake, that's a lovely image. Note brilliant Jupiter, delightful Pleiades, the Alpha Persei group and the Andromeda Galaxy!
Michał Żołnowski, that's a very interesting narrowband image of the IC 410 and NGC 1893 region in Auriga.
Leonardo Orazi, I'm always happy to see your delightful RGB images here!
Lorenzo Siciliano, that's a great image of NGC 6946. The Fireworks Galaxy, indeed! What a supernova factory!
Manuel Jimenez, that's a great deep portrait of the Ring Nebula, M57, and spiral galaxy IC 1296.
Pitwi, Peter, I love your horse statue with constellation Pegasus in the background. I'm always particularly happy to see one of my favorite blue stars, Gamma Pegasi, being photographed!
There are a lot of truly impressive Sun prominences and sunspot images here. Thanks to all who contributed!
Rolf Geissinger, I like both of your NGC 7822 images! Thanks!
Again, thanks to all who contributed!
