The Milky Way over West Cork
The Milky Way core stood almost vertical over the house. The night sky was so clear and dark I could see the brighter parts of the core and lots and lots of stars with my own eyes. This was a 20-second exposure, f/2.8, ISO 8000 using my Samyang 24mm prime....

Perseids in the Vosges. I spent two nights in the Vosges mountains during the Perseid meteor shower. My new blog post features photos, text, and a soundscape.

August 14th/15th - I set up a camera as usual, not sure if the cloud will clear or stay clear tonight. I screwed up the focussing on this one but, it shows the ridiculous number of satellites we already have along with an Aurora on the horizon.

Scientists Release Biggest 2D Map of the Universe | NOIRLab
https://noirlab.edu/public/news/noirlab2620/
The new DESI Legacy Imaging Surveys map serves as the foundation for the largest-ever 3D map of the Universe, used to investigate dark energy
"The newest DESI Legacy Imaging Surveys map, 13 years in the making, covers three-quarters of the sky and catalogs nearly four billion objects. This treasure trove is available to all and contains stars, galaxies, supernovae, gravitational lenses, and much more. Two NSF NOIRLab facilities contributed data to the map: the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) Mayall telescope and the NSF Blanco telescope, equipped with the U.S. Department of Energy-fabricated DECam. …
"The Legacy Surveys’ data will also help scientists train artificial intelligence tools to analyze petabytes of astronomical data and accelerate new discoveries. It will be among the datasets used in an astrophysics pilot project within the American Science Cloud, part of the DOE’s Genesis Mission. ..."

Some pics I took on my walk last night.
