NGC 4647
Copyright: Based on observations made with the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, and obtained from the Hubble Legacy Archive, which is a collaboration between the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI/NASA), the Space Telescope European Coordinating Facility (ST-ECF/ESA) and the Canadian Astronomy Data Centre (CADC/NRC/CSA). Processing: Gilles Chapdelaine Composition of this image had been done using Hubble's frame taken with following filters: F555W(for blue), F814W(for red) and a mix of these two for the green.

Giant Molecular cloud in Perseus
This is a giant molecular cloud stretching from IC348 (left) to NGC1333 (right). I shot this data 18 months ago and reprocessed March 2012

Castle vs Moon
This is a 360 degree little planet night panorama of a medieval castle at Fyla, Evia - Greece. The bright spot at the left is the overexposed Moon.
During the shooting and later at post processing, I didn't expect that the final result would resemble an alien, pacman like creature, moments before devouring our celestial neighbor!

Re: Recent Submissions: 2012 March 5-7
Time for a few comments here!
Stewart Watt, I love your Loch full of stars. I don't know what that yellow light is, but I guess it's some sort of light pollution. But it's fun to pretend that it's some sort of fire floating on the water, and the the Milky Way is like blue smoke rising from that fire!
Chris Bosshard, I like your four planets to scale. I appreciate the brilliant whiteness of Venus. Tell me, is that moon Ganymede?
Máximo Ruiz, I really like your fine RGB portrait of planetary nebula Jones-Emberson 1. I like the delicate red shell, the almost imperceptible blueness of the interior, and the fascinating inner "bumps" or "hills", which change in color from pink to white to blue. Also I love the intensely blue white dwarf inside. It is clearly the hottest star in this field, and its color proves it! (By the way, I checked out your homepage too, and I was delighted at this portrait of the Pleiades. The cluster looks like a magnificent blue butterfly or bird!
M. Raşid Tuğral, I like your contemplation of Venus and Jupiter. I, too, have stood much like that looking out the window!
chapdelaine, that's a fine processing of the Hubble data of small spiral galaxy NGC 4647. Unless I'm mistaken, this is the poor little spiral that is on its way to colliding with giant elliptical galaxy M60!
Lynn Hilborn, that's a splendid portrait of a giant molecular cloud. I love the soft and subtle colors and the sense of windblown dynamism of this cloud.
Siggi, that's a fine portrait of the Horsehead and Alnitak region.
Chris Kotsiopoulos, your image is definitely one of my favorites in this thread. You pointed out that you think that your castle looks like an alien, pacman-like creature on its way to devouring the Moon! I have to agree with you that it looks just like that, but I see something else in it, too. Let me call it "Star Wars: A Thousand Years Later". The castle would be a spent and broken wreck of a spaceship drifting aimlessly in space, all that remains of an all-out cosmic war. I found that interpretation quite poignant.
José Manuel Sánchez and João Vieira, you have both posted fine images of the Rosette Nebula.
Wolfgang Promper, I like the "mysteriousness" of your nebula.
Philippe TOSI, isn't that what the constellations look like as winter is turning into spring! Orion and the Hyades are leaning heavily to the right, and the Pleiades has sunk already!
Rothko, I think that your images are so well-composed and beautiful. You make the landscape and lonely trees "harmonize" with a beautiful sky.
Vegastar, I like the blue light of the moonlit sky. It's really true that the moonlit sky is blue, just like the cloudless daytime sky. And that's a fine portrait of the Lady in the Moon, sitting so whitely in the center of all that soft light of blue!
Thanks to everyone who contributed images to this thread!
