Owing to the significant amount of intervening dust between us and this region of the Milky Way, the emission nebula NGC 6334 in Scorpius is an unusually deep red nebula

I took this picture at the 2014 Golden State Star Party using a dslr and very basic equipment. I love the detail that shows up in the core of the galaxy, as well as the yellow light bleeding through the front dust lane.

Kiwi On The Mountain by markg, on Flickr

The Kiwi is a long beaked, flightless, nocturnal bird from New Zealand, but it can also be seen in the night sky - The Milky Way Kiwi, is located right next to the Sagittarius region of the Milky Way, and can be viewed from both the northern and southern hemispheres. I had to wait for the Milky Way to get low enough in the western sky near Hanmer Springs in New Zealand to get this single exposure shot of the Kiwi appearing to walk on the mountain.

Universal Bonding by markg, on Flickr

It was a short road trip to New Zealand's South Island with my son that was only 4 days long. We did a lot of driving and exploring the country side, and had some amazing adventures together. But it was this moment on the last night of the trip, that will stick in my mind for a long time to come. I got to share my passion of photographing the night sky with him - we spoke about the Milky Way, stars and planets, and the immense distances of space. It's something we really bonded over, and we're both looking forward to doing more of these adventures together in the future.

I incorporated footage Halfa and this is the result
