The conjunction of Venus and Mercury has been a surprise on the evening of January 9, 2015 from the
Observatory of La Hita, Toledo, because of exceptional weather conditions. The clear sky and high atmospheric pressure of more than 1043 hPa provided an unforgettable show. Venus was hiding on the horizon, and when he was about to disappear Venus “doubled” and turned into green... Then he disappeared and again exhibited a green flash similar to the Green Ray that we see for the Sun when the atmosphere is very stable.

It pictures the winter sky from the Haute-Provence observatory
in southern France (OHP stands for Observatoire de Haute Provence).
Orion and Taurus are majesteous in the sky.
On the horizon, we can see the 2m telescope where
51peg exoplanet was first discovered in 1995. We can also see the
1.2m telescope used with masters' students.
This picture shows also the comet Lovejoy C/2014 Q2.
Taken w/ a 14mm f2.8 lens on a full frame reflex digital camera:
10s exposure at 10k ISO, on Jan 10th, 2015 before midnignt.
2 images. the second contains labels of the positions of the constellations
and the comet.

Dear Drs.,
I am an amateur astrophotographer from La Coruña, in NorthWestern Spain. This time I am sending you a picture from In Pau da Cruz da Vella is in the Serra do Buio, 702 meters high, and is considered landmark between the municipalities of Ferreira do Valadouro Cervo, Xove and Viveiro the four of Lugo, 43°35'8.69" -7°29'22.56", Lugo (Galicia).
A past history of Galicia is full of stories that tell us about the conflicts between terrains by the limits. In the case of the Pau da Cruz da Vella happens also, but in this case the discussion is not between people, but even among municipalities: Valadouro, Xove, Cervo and Viveiro quarrel by saying that the Cross is yours.
Moreover, another Galician tradition that comes very last is the legends of the mysterious magical stories or explaining the origin of things; here too the "Cruz" of Pau da Vella has a lot to tell, since even in his name preserves the vestiges of these legends.
I hope you like it and I would be delighted if you consider it good enough to be published as an A.P.O.D.

Comment: Very little colour data; crazy colours! Hahahaha...
Author: Steven Mohr
I love all the various nebulae of the LMC and considering there are so many to choose from, I think this could be my favourite region! The colours might be crazy but they are fairly accurate and show the abundant hydrogen and oxygen in the area very well! The other great thing is that your image includes two Wolf Rayet nebulae! The more well known one is NGC 2020, the blue bubble near the right and the less well known one is DEM L240, the irregular blue cloud above NGC 2035.
Also I don't know the origin of the name Southern Seagull but I think it might have been mistakenly associated with this region?
