"Airglow"

240 degrees Panorama captured in Corse, FR, with a Canon 6d astromod and a Canon 5d Mark 4.

No one who goes to photograph a beautiful milyway on the most desolate island I have ever visited?

Yes, Corse is an extraordinary place, rich in beautiful landscapes and untouched by man. I reached this island during a solo trip to capture the milky way, it was crazy to see the deep darkness of this sky a few kilometers from home. Fantastic, and what about this night? Too much airglow and a perfect clear sky!

The technique is my old approach to night photos, 1 panoramic tracked with the canon 6d astromod and a second panoramic shot for the foreground.

The hi-res file is 7191x3596px

"Revenge"

180°panorama of 5 frames stitched with a powerful aurora borealis in beautiful Iceland, an extraordinary place. I shot all night, without stopping for a moment, despite it was -10 degrees Celsius, the excitement was so great that I did not feel anything except the beauty of this phenomenon with a clear sky full of stars.

The hi-res file is 12413x6226px

INSIDE THE HEART "SHO"

The vast emission nebula called IC1805 or heart nebula resembles a human heart in its entirety. The glow of the nebula is powered by stellar winds and radiation from young stars present in the Melotte 15 star cluster. The Heart Nebula is located at a distance of about 7,500 light years from Earth, in the circumpolar constellation of Cassiopeia. Here we find it in its constitution in hydrogen taken up with a special filter obviously for this type of emissions.

NGC 2246 SHO

The Hubble Palette is a processing technique created by NASA for images obtained with the Hubble Space Telescope.
It is a false color reconstruction aimed at highlighting the various nebular structures by chemical composition. From here you come to this beautiful (and very personal) explosion of colors.

Polaris sunken in the sea of dust

IFN nebula around Polaris. I didn't have high hopes of this target as it was shot from not so dark place but it turned out much better than expected.

It is 250*2min ISO400 @f2.8 using modified Canon 6D with Samyang (Rokinon) 135mm f2 on Skywatcher SAM. Taken from my cottage in Jezeřany-Maršovice village in Czech republic.



Hope you'll like it.

The moon is usually seen in subtle shades of gray or yellow.
The different colors are recognized as corresponding to real differences in the chemical composition of the lunar surface. Blue tones reveal areas rich in ilmenite, which contains iron, titanium and oxygen, mainly titanium, while orange and purple show regions relatively poor in titanium and iron.
White areas are higher areas that are more exposed to the sun.
Trips to the moon have already been indicated by similar images.

The Dolphin Head Nebula is really a cosmic bubble formed from the star within it pushing the gasses out with it's intense radiation from being in the pre-stages of supernova.
