The reddish medium size star in the center of the image is Proxima Centauri

Proxima in Latin means "next to" or "nearest to" is the closest star to our planet after the Sun and lies about 4.2 light years. Although its proximity is too fain to be seen with the naked eye due to its low 11.05 apparent magnitude. Proxima Centauri may be part of a triple star system conformed with Alpha Centauri A and B. It was discovered in 1915 by Robert Innes from the Union Observatory in South Africa. Seen from the Earth, Proxima has a large, proper motion and moves against the multitude of background stars at about 3.85 arc seconds per year. From an observer's perspective, this will carry it at a length in the sky of about a full width of the moon every 500 years.

The image and more information can be seen below

It's not only about stargazing or how to catch the sky with a camera, sometimes it's about how to write the sky! I hope you will enjoy.

As an amateur astronomer, I suggested to a Swiss company (Caran d'Ache) to create that astronomical pen and here is the result. Astronomy and poetry are linked with ink now.

Last night I finally was able to gather more data to finish my NGC7822 image in hubble palette.

The image was made using a Tak FSQ106 with SXV-H9 ccd. A DMK618 was used for autoguiding on a NEQ6...

Whole sequence of images of a sunset on Playa de la Barrosa, Cádiz (Spain), took each 5 seconds. Some show green flashes, remarkably the last one. Not sure it qualifies for an APOD, just wanted to share.

Hello,

I never thought that basketball and stars could be combined, but an old court proved otherwise. In my birthday night, I thought that I could spend time under the stars but never imagined that I was gonna shoot hoops with them!
