Last Friday i tried to capture the Whirlpool Galaxy M51📸

🌌The Whirlpool Galaxy (M51) is a spiral galaxy located about 23 million light-years away in Canes Venatici. It spans approximately 60,000 light-years and features prominent spiral arms with active star formation. M51 is interacting with the smaller galaxy NGC 5195, creating stunning tidal features that enhance its visual appeal.

The Eternal Companion, Once Again (11/24)

My best moonshot so far, in my opinion. Feedback and tips for improvement are welcome. It is damn hard to nail the focus with this lens, also with focus-peaking. There is always some kind of luck involved here. The focus lottery so to say :-)

Well that’s a wrap! There’s still a couple weeks left of “Aurora” season up north, but I’ve skipped town in search of warmer temps and spring flowers. If we do end up getting a nice earth facing solar flare in the near future I’ll post up something info and let everyone know. But in the meantime hope you all enjoy the changing seasons!

Threats to astronomical observatory sites around the world from light pollution are growing, but the existing skyglow standard for site protection dates to nearly a half-century ago. Astronomers are considering a new standard to replace it given advances in lighting technology.

The light pollution of Tucson, Arizona can be seen in the backdrop of this photo of Kitt Peak National Observatory, with the Nicholas U. Mayall 4-meter Telescope featured prominently. In addition to being an aesthetic blight, light pollution poses one of the greatest risks to astronomical research at Kitt Peak, drowning out the natural starlight and the light from distant asteroids, comets, galaxies, quasars, and other objects in the night sky.
