Interesting contrast between the younger Blue stars of M35 and the older and further away Red stars of NGC2158.

The coming days Moon and planet Jupiter are getting closer and closer. This is a shot from tonight when they were 16°22' apart.

Twists and Bubbles
This is a segment of the Vela SNR comprising 39.5 hours of data. There are many twists of the Ha and OIII data as well as numerous bubbles displayed in the image. This image is a bicolour image of the two band passes.

My IC434 and nearby DSO's.
The HA was taken under heavily moonlit skies and originally was only meant as a test run of my new Borg 125. 16x1200 seconds of HA.
However the results where impressive so as an experiment I blended the HA with my old Borg 101 RGB data. 16x600. I liked these results even more so processed fully to this image.
Mounted on and AP 1200 and imaged with a QSI 683 - Astrodon Ha 5nm and Baader RGB.
Thanks for looking - hope you like.

"The moon was up, painting the world silver, making things look just a little more alive." -- N.D. Wilson

This star trail photo was made of 50 twenty second exposures. (Canon T2i, Canon 8-15L f/4.0 lens @ 9 mm, F/5.0, ISO 400). The individual photos were stacked in StarStaX and processed in Lightroom.

To boldly go where no-one has gone before: an INTEGRAL travel through Galactic space

A first-ever: from behind the Galactic Centre we are facing towards our Sun (the tiny yellow blob just above the centre of the image). This image is a still from the movie containing the results from the Galactic bulge monitoring program and a 3D journey through Galactic space (see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lfexQlB8GOc). During the first part of the movie a time-lapse view of our Galactic Centre region is shown in 2D in hard X-rays / soft gamma-rays: it is a kind of Christmas tree, with high-energy sources brightening and fading on all time scales. During the second, 3D part of the movie one first zooms out of the Galaxy, showing a bird's eye view of the gamma and hard X-ray sources in our Galaxy detected by INTEGRAL, and then conclude with a fly-through of the central part of the Galactic bulge, before returning to our Solar System and the orbit of INTEGRAL around Earth. More stills, as well as more movies can be found at http://integral.esac.esa.int/BULGE/links/Movies.html.
