The Flight of 61 Cygni
61 Cygni, the Flying Star of Giuseppe Piazzi (discoverer of Ceres, the first asteroid), is a double star whose components orbit in about 680 years around a common center of gravity; the double star owns a considerable proper motion compared to the distant background stars, also due to the relative closeness to Earth of 11 light-years.
The pair was deprived of the surrounding star field in four astrometric processed images and, in order to have a clear background in which to insert the pictures of 61 Cygni to obtain the moving effect, the background was derived by stitching together 2 portions of the same star field, one taken from POSS 1 and the other one from POSS 2 that 61 Cygni, respectively, had yet to cross and already had crossed.
The 98 years flight "began" in 1916 with the image of Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff (Arizona), that also photographed the pair in 1948. In 1986 and 2014 it was photographed from Venice (Italy).

Thank you, Pierluigi Carotti, that is a fine effort and a great portrait of a classic pair of stars!

Taken 09/19/3-14. Haze in the air played some nice tricks on the Sun. Different haze layers caused the "Jupiter Look".
I used a Canon 7D with a 135mm lense and a haze filter.

In 2014 we would see three consecutive perigee full moons and I've made a project to try and capture them in different sites. The purpose was to combine the sky and Earth and maybe extend the borders of nature outside our planet. I had to travel hunderds of kilometers into my home country Greece after tedious calculations and great risk of not placing the equipment right on spot.
Luckily all things worked and here is the result:

Considering my fondness of hugs, this picture evokes a lot more emotion than many of the astroimages usually featured here. Sandgirl, I could hug you!
