PhotographerDag Sola OrsicLocationCroatia, island of HvarDateAugust 2007.EquipmentEOS 1D Mark II 17-40 @ 17mm f/5.6 15 minDescriptionThis photo was taken from an achored sailing boat. I was curious if any stars woud have been recognisable in a long exposure photo, because of the boat's continuous motion due to waves, plus the Earth's rotation. The result is funny, but I think interesting too. The only sharp object is the mast with it's shrouds and the brightest object is Jupiter. The detail shows how a „cocoon“ image has been created by a wobbling source. The Universe is beautifull in anyway! |

PhotographerT. J. DomsallaLocationnear Heidelberg, GermanyDateAugust to October 2007EquipmentTakahashi FSQ 106N on a Losmansy G11/Gemini. STL11000M with Astrodon LRGB and H-Alpha filters. Guiding with a MiniBorg 45ED and the SBIG Remote Guider Head.DescriptionIn about 3.900 light years distance, embedded in an band of dark nebulas, lies the Cocoon nebula. This image shows a detailed view of the neighborhood with dark clouds of matter that are not so dark at all. Red bands of light emitting gas cross the field in this 10.5 hours exposure of IC5146. While taking the image a badger tried to keep me off from his patch, but at least he accepted me as not to dispute his territory but only in our rare clear nights. |

PhotographerDouglas SlausonLocationSwisher, IowaDateOctober 25, 2007 08:15 pm CDTEquipmentCelestron 9.25-inch Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope on a fork mount, 3-second exposure at f/10 at ISO400 using a Canon 350D Rebel XT digital SLR camera at the Cassegrain focus. The image was cropped but otherwise no image processing was applied.DescriptionIn this image the comet appears perfectly round with an inner coma that is offset from the tiny nucleus visible at the center. A faint dark arc is seen to the upper left and extends approximatly 180 degrees around the interior of the coma. The bright comet was growing in size and noticeably larger than the previous night. The comet's round shape was even visible in the telescope's 8x50mm viewfinder. |
