Starship Asterisk*

On the bank of the river Chernavka.

It was one of the nights at salt lake El'ton. I was preparing for the shooting. The first images showed the presence of high-altitude haze in the sky. Also see small striped atmospheric glow.

The black hole(or wormhole) from Interstellar.

Panorama of a salt lake in the projection "little planet" is very similar to the Black hole

Milky Way Beacon
Psaromita Lighthouse shines towards the Galactic Center of the Milky Way Galaxy. Psaromita Lighthouse in Phocis, Central Greece, was manufactured in 1894. During World War II the light stayed dead until 1945 when the Hellenic Navy decided to reconstruct the lighthouse network in Greece. Shot last night during the International Lighthouse Weekend.

M27 - the Dumbbell Nebula in HaOiiiLRGB

Copyright Scott Rosen. Website: http://www.astronomersdoitinthedark.com/


Full Resolution Version

M27 is an easy object to view in a telescope, as it shines brightly at magnitude 7.5 and is relatively large at about 8' wide (about 1/4 of the Moon's apparent diameter). However, this image adds some narrowband Ha and OIII data and shows the larger and fainter extended nebulosity that reaches out twice as far.

Sinking Moon Above The Cloud Of Favignana

Copyright: Dario Giannobile It's dawn; the full moon in setting above island of Favignana (Sicily). A thick layer of haze and clouds were floating above the horizone darkening the last steps of the Moon that seems to sink among them.

One image for the landscape, shot some minutes before the moon entered in the composition. 4 shots for the moons.
