PhotographerDoug ZubenelLocationNear De Soto, Kansas, USA.DateOct. 18, 2008EquipmentCanon Rebel XTi wit an 85mm Nikkor lens @ f/8; 1/25th second exposure at ISO 100.DescriptionWhile it was impossible to tell if volcanic aerosols from Kasatochi were present in sufficient quantity to cause twilight sky coloration, they certainly were present enough to act as a reddening filter for sunlight to paint these cirrus clouds a brilliant orange-red. |

PhotographerMark CavanaughLocationEly, MinnesotaDate2/07Equipmentnikon f3 with 28 mm lense on wooden tripod with bogen ball headDescriptionWhile shooting this two hour star trail photo in sub zero tempratures a quarter moon rose and illuminated the foreground trees and sky.

PhotographerHunter WilsonLocationLexington, OhioDateSeptember 6, 2008EquipmentCanon 350D Hap Griffin Baader Mod APM/TMB 130/780 with APM Field Flattener Astro-Physics Mach1GTO MountDescriptionIC 5146 "Cocoon Nebula" in Cygnus 32x180sec at iso 1600 30 Darks/Flats/Bias The Cocoon Nebula (IC5146, Caldwell 19) is located about 4,000 light years away and spans 15 light years. Inside the Cocoon is a newly developing open cluster (Collinder 470). The Cocoon Nebula is a combination of emission, reflection, and absorbtion nebulae. Recent theory holds that the massive star BD +46°3474 in the center of the nebula opened a hole in an existing molecular cloud through which much of the glowing material flows. This beautiful, very dim and usually difficult object lies at the end of a path of dark nebula Barnard 168 (B168) that is very obvious on widefield images and can be seen with binoculars in a dark sky starting about 3 degrees east-southeast of open cluster M39. This dark lane can be seen in this image trailing away westward from the Cocoon. |
