The Night Sky over Frank Lloyd Wright's First Christian Church

The Night Sky over Frank Lloyd Wright's First Christian Church by Radical Retinoscopy, on Flickr

A star trail photograph was made of seventy 10 second exposures. Each exposure was made with a 17-40L lens at 24 mm. (f/5.6, 400 ISO). The exposures were kept relatively short to abate the prominent light pollution in Phoenix.

The First Christian Church is located at 6750 N. 7th Avenue in north-central Phoenix. The church is an authentic Frank Lloyd Wright design that was finished in 1973. The characteristic spire rises to a height of seventy-seven feet and has become a Phoenix landmark. The design was commissioned for the Southwest Christian Seminary in 1949; however, construction was never initiated at that time. After Mr. Wright’s death the plans were released by his estate to facilitate construction by the First Christian Church in 1971.

This morning (July 14, 2012) I had the fortune to admire from the beach of Lido di Dante (Ravenna, Italy) a spectacular sunrise with the huge AR1520 sunspot rising on an omega shaped Sun over the sea.

Best regards

Stefano

Milky Way over sunflowers

It's a panorama image of 7 individual photoes taken at a sunflower field near Veszprem, Hungary. There's some orange coloured light pollution of Veszprem visible on the small clouds at the left side but between and above these clouds the very faint purple colouration is an aurora. (The aurora was also seen in the Czech Republic on the night of 15/16th July, and of course at many other places being closer to the magnetic north pole). I could not see the aurora but when checking my pics I noticed it on many of them taken in about 30 minutes. Later it disappeared. Crops were lit by a small pocket flashlight.
A cold front sweeped my sky clear so the seeing was very good that's why the Milky Way was so bright despite being only at 3 kms distance of my hometown.

Here's a bigger size version of the panorama pic:

I received a suggestion from someone on Google+ to post my recent (15 July) photo of Aurora Australis from Christchurch, New Zealand, on APoD. Copyright Gavin Treadgold, and yes, I give you permission to use it, should you choose

These colours weren't visible to the naked eye at the time, the colour was only achieved by a 20 second exposure. It was faint green to the naked eye.
