In this fisheye image at the Chameleon Observatory,
the Milky Way stretches across the entire sky - |
|
from the
northeast horizon on the left hand side to the southwest horizon to the right.
The two Magellanic Clouds can be seen just above the southern horizon before
respective after their lower culmination. To the right, the sky is brightened
by the Hosea Kutako airport 40 km away. The greenish hue of the sky near the
horizon as well as the faint red ribbons in it are caused by Airglow.
The image is a composite of two processing steps of the original images. The
individual images were aligned and stacked with respect to the stars to
generate the "sky"-image. The same images were aligned a second time but with
respect to the ground to generate a noise reduced "ground" image. In the final
step both images were superimposed.

The
region around Antares in the constellation Scorpion belongs to one of the most
colorful areas in the sky. Beside many dark nebulaes there are weak reddish
emission nebulaes as well as blueish and yellowish reflection
nebulaes.
Medium resolution with a comparison to the size of the full
moon and the identification of the brighter nebulosity regions. |

Orion the Hunter
The Orion belongs to the most
prominent constellations of the sky and dominates the winter sky with seven
bright stars. Beside the well known objects like the Great Orion Nebula (M 42),
the Horsehead Nebula (B 33) and the Flame Nebula (NGC 2024) there are many
weaker emission- dark- and reflection nebulaes throughout the constellation.
The largest nebula is called Barnard's Loop, which probable represents an old
supernova remnant.
Image data: 26.03. - 02.04.2014 76 x 600 Seconds (mosaic, built from 4

On 18 June a
very close conjunction between the two planets Mars and Mercury took place. At
about 17 o'clock, about 2.5 hours before sunset, both planets stood next to
each other with a distance of only 14 minutes of arc. Mercury was clearly
brighter than Mars. The 3 pictures below were taken with the Pentax 105 and
Reducer with a focal length of about 500 mm. Camera was an EOS 60 DA at 400 ASA
and about 10 seconds exposure time. The 3 pictures can be
enlarged by clicking on them. |

with a focal length of about 35mm. On the first 3 evenings a Canon EOS 60 DA
was used and from June 15th on an "ancient" Baader Astro modified Canon EOS 40
D.
