It took me so long to process my images of Supermoon eclipse. Right now I would like to share the final image of the Moon immersed in the shadow of the Earth. I hope you'll like it. You can find the better resolution imaga at http://www.obserwatorium.lubomir.weglow ... lIX15.html Please notice the observatory webpage is written in Polish language.

Any questions you can ask using the e-mail obserwatorium (at) weglowka.pl

This is an image of IC1795, the Fishhead Nebula



I took this image mostly in the month of October. I took 241 20 minute exposures to combine the result into the hubble palette. The total integration time was a little over 80 hours.

I was lucky enough that this image was very popular on reddit.com, reaching the front page and receiving nearly 1 million unique visitors.

The astrobin page for my image is here: http://www.astrobin.com/219328/

I've hosted a number of variations of this image in different resolutions on my site here: http://astrophotography.ninja/ic1795/

In regards to copyright I am fine with anyone using this image as they wish. I don't seek any compensation or credit (though it would be nice).

As one of the auroral particles, a proton has bigger mass than an electron, and therefore protons are less drifted by the magnetic field of the earth. As a result, proton arcs are usually observed at lower latitudes, hundreds of kilometers south of the aurora area. Aurora storms are predictable by observing solar flares on the sun, which happens from time to time> Proton arcs are much less commonly seen and hard to predict.

On August 16th 2015 around 1am PDT, a strong proton beam hit the earth right after an aurora storm, forming a bright strip across the sky - it was the proton arc. It appeared in the southern part of sky. We were observing from Vancouver BC, a city in sub-auroral region.
