Here are two lunar transits of the ISS near Copernicus, showing the two possible configurations of lighting:

- the first one taken on Oct 25th while the Sun was 4° below the horizon and lightened the ISS
- the second one taken on Oct27th while the Sun was 22° below the horizon, leaving the ISS in the shadow of the Earth

Traveling through the valleys of Saint Catherine at day and capturing the majestic Rho Ophiuchi cloud complex at night was my routine in the last few nights.
I was lucky getting few of them while capturing the beautiful bortle 1 night sky of Egypt. This image was shot using my beloved portable setup with no complications just a tracker, stock dslr, 135mm lens, and most importantly patience.

The Spider and Fly Nebulae : IC 417 and NGC 1931

Copyright: Bogdan Borz

The Spider and Fly nebulae are situated in Auriga, at around 10 000 and 7000 ly away. They are emission nebulae.
This is a Hubble palette, the Oxygen is very weak and mostly present in the Spider nebula. The nebula is pretty faint, but due to the 24h of exposure I managed to emphasize the dark clouds in the background.

International Space Station transit over Mont Saint Michel (France)

Copyright : Maxime Oudoux / https://maximeoudouxphotographie.fr/

Large picture (with behind the scene shots) : https://maximeoudouxphotographie.fr/sta ... nt-michel/

Early in the morning of November 1st, the ISS flew over Mont Saint Michel, during one of the last orbits for French astronaut Thomas Pesquet, originally from Normandy (the region in which Mont Saint Michel is located).
Thomas gets us used to regularly admiring the most beautiful landscapes on Earth from space. Mont Saint-Michel was not forgotten by the French astronaut during his 2 stays aboard the ISS: he flew over and photographed it several times.

For once, the places are reversed (between 2 original Norman photographers, moreover)

It was 6:13 a.m. when a very bright point emerged from the night, to move quickly without a noise above the Abbey, then "go down" towards the eastern horizon (on the right), where dawn was beginning. to dawn (hence the clearer sky with more pronounced bluish and magenta colors).

The trajectory of the ISS meets several points of interest in the sky: it appears at the level of the constellation Cassiopeia (the almost vertical "W") located in the Milky Way; then, it crosses the North Star at its highest position in the sky, before descending, brushing against the tail of the Big Dipper.
The crescent moon and the onset of day give the sky this characteristic bluish color. We were then at the very end of the "real" dark night: it is the astronomical dawn, more commonly known as "between dogs and wolves"!
This image, made up of 40 photos (forming a large panoramic), had been planned for over a month. Indeed, the passages of the space station are known and it is possible to know when and where to position to capture its crossing in the sky according to our position on Earth.

This image is unique : it is the first and only representation of the International Space Station above Mont Saint-Michel, with its transit almost complete and correctly oriented.

This image is also 100% real, the trajectory of the ISS and its position in the sky were planned thanks to Heavens Above - https://www.heavens-above.com (we can use it to check the date and time of the passage of the ISS if necessary). Mont Saint Michel faces south with its most famous side, through which we access it). RAW and captures from Heavens Above can be provided to check the picture if needed.
Precise acquisition hours : from 6:13 to 6:18 AM

HYGNUS VOLCANIC CRATER AND THE ACCUMULATION OF VOLCANIC ASHES

HYGINUS is one of the few craters on the lunar surface that does not have an impact from a celestial body.
It is considered the largest crater of volcanic origin on the visible face of the Moon. Located in the center of the rhyme Hyginus, which was probably formed by lava from this crater (ARROW)
Beside it, there is prioclastic material, that is, an accumulation of volcanic ash material (CIRCLE)

The Andromeda Galaxy

The primary image data is from 66 shots at 300 seconds each. The bright core was blended in from 4 sets of 30 shots each at decreasingly shorter exposures. Shot from my backyard with a ZWO ASI2600MC camera, William Optics GT81 telescope, and Losmandy GM811G equatorial mount.
