2015 Solar Analemma: a year long picture!

Click to view full size image
My first try at this kind of long time project.
This strange figure, with a shape of an 8 or an infinite, the analemma, is caused by the axial tilt of our planet, and by the elliptical shape of our orbit around the Sun. If we take a picture day by day, always at the same hour, the Sun is not in a fixed position, but it slowly clibs up and then down the curve.
If the Earth had a circular orbit and its axis was at 0° tilt the analemma would not exist, since the Sun will be always in the same place in the sky at a determined hour of the day. If the orbit was circular, but the axis was tilted like our real one, the two lobes of the figure would be equal in dimensions. Instead, if the orbit was elliptical (like in the reality) and the axis was not tilted, the analemma would be only a line that would go from east to west.

A wide-field narrowband mosaic of the less-often imaged eastern half of the Vela Supernova Remnant in HST palette. Specifically named nebulae (RCW 33, 35, 36, 38, 40) within the overall Gum Nebula are seen from left to right. SNRemnant filaments emitting OIII, as well as the Pencil Nebula (NGC 2736), are portrayed in blue.

Here is the telescope used for the tourists. It was less than 1 hour before the new year !

And one last image just for fun. It's not very spectacular except if you concider that it have been shot in only one single 13 seconds exposure !
Like the other images it have been done with the famous Sony 7s. The lens is a 85 mm Canon used at f/1.6
Juste remeber how hard it was to have such a view of North America 20 years ago.
