  1. Last night was surprisingly successful for #astrophotography. I shot five targets, and got good results for three of them. The fifth ... I'll add its data to my previous sessions later.

    First up was the #Moon. At about 3/4 full, it is now a major issue for many targets, but makes for a great image itself, as the surface is mostly visible, but still has the sun hitting at an angle, so we get great shadows.

    Second was the #TarantulaNebula , aka #C103 or #NGC2070 .

    Next up was a bit of an experiment - #Orion 's Belt. This was a roughly 1 hour mosaic, and I am pretty pleased with how it has come out.

    Last for the evening was the #BeehiveCluster or #M44. I don't often shoot clusters, but I thought this was in a good position. Sadly there is no nebulosity associated with it. Despite this, it has come up looking very pretty.

    Here is a little collage of the evenings shots.

  6. Hubble ziet wervelde wolken van gas en stof in de Tarantulanevel

    Astronomen hebben met behulp van de Hubble Space Telescope een opvallende opname gemaakt van een deel van de Tarantulanevel. Deze nevel maakt deel uit van de Grote Magelhaanse Wolk.

  12. Right now I am shooting a target I have shot before - the Tarantula Nebula.

    And it looks really weird tonight.

    So I read up on it a little. 'Active HII region' . Hmmm

    Looks at current filter : Ha/OIII.

    Ah, that will do it. Still, I am continuing with the shoot, as the effect is rather pleasing.

    Photo to follow... in a couple of hours.
