One night, two comets...
The straight and greenish tail of comet Lemmon contrasts with the curved and whitish tail of PanSTARRS as they set behind the Andes, above Bariloche, Argentina. So beautiful! Enjoy it when they move to the Northern hemisphere!

Jellyfish or High Altitude Virga Sunrise
Virga is rain/snow that never reaches ground. In this particular case mid-altitude winds are shearing off the higher altitude clouds rain/snow fall.

Spot the Station – 26 Feb 2013

Shot this picture from our rooftop in the center of Nicosia, Cyprus—hardly the best place for any sort of astrophotography, but still, the objective was to spot the Station and we had fun doing it!

Artistic composition made of three different images:
-
Moon, a four images mosaic of the crescent moon, 4,6 days old. Celestron 9.25 f/6.3 + Atik 314.
-
Background, a two images mosaic of central galaxy at Sagitarius. DSLR 18/70 lens.
-
Earth, based on Apollo 11 imaginery.
That's quite obviuos it's an artistic photo montage, made just for beauty and enjoy.
Stargazer used to observe the moon will quickly found also that the moon will never be seen this way, even from a starship.
Do you know why?...
