  3. The James #Webb Space Telescope would probably not be your first choice for observing the large open #StarCluster of the #Pleiades but the authors of the paper "JWST imaging of the Pleiades: anisotropy of turbulence in the cold neutral medium" - arxiv.org/abs/2602.03672 - did it anyway, to study the turbulent energy cascade in the CNM the cluster happens to move through right now. Here is what they saw, with the NIRCam and the F335M filter - for the four cuts from the JWST pictures at the bottom in detail see fig. 2 of the paper.

  9. So, here's another one.

    This is basically the same as the last one, but I *cheated* in processing by using the Mantiuk Tonemapping operator as provided by #GIMP.

    Fun fact about this; my wegde was in use at the time, so I just put the #Seestar out on its mini tripod and let it do a Mosaic of 1.4x the target area using 10s exposures;

    * wanted a mosaic to have more pixels to play with
    * it would cover the area regardless of eq/alt-az mode

    Turned out really well, I think.

    For comparison, the non-tonemapped variant is here: hachyderm.io/@fritschy/1155113

  13. 📸 Messier 6 – The Butterfly Cluster

    A cluster of about 100 young stars spreads its wings in Scorpius. Known as the Butterfly Cluster, Messier 6 glows with brilliant blue stars and one striking orange giant: BM Scorpii.
    It spans 25 light-years near the heart of the Milky Way.

  19. The open star cluster Messier 21 as imaged by the Vera C. Rubin Observatory

    Located near the Trifid Nebula, Messier 21 is relatively young and tightly packed with small, dim stars.

  24. The globular star cluster Messier 13 earlier tonight. Result of 3600 0.1-sec images made with my phone and (non-tracking) 20 cm f/3.8 telescope, combined in Siril and the background and color touched up in Gimp. Conditions at my moderately light-polluted site were okay but not great; transparency was poor. The colors of the stars in the image are subtle, just enough to tell the yellowish Red Giant Branch stars from the bluer Horizontal Branch and upper Main Sequence stars.

  25. The artwork: "Galactic eye". The vibe: "When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you". Or at least that's the feeling I'm getting from this tonight. What do you see?
