PhotographerAmar A. SharmaLocationSivanhalli, beside Bannerghatta National Park, South Bangalore, Karnataka, IndiaDate12th Feb. 2005, ~7 pm eveningEquipmentSimple Fixed tripod method, Vivitar V3800N SLR camera, Tamron lens 28-105mm f/4-f/22 lens..time exposure was given of approximately half an hour.DescriptionThis photo taken on a winter evening of 12th Feb. 2005 shows a very bright Iridium satellite with central brightening of mag. -7 or so reported then!!! Unfortunately I dont remember the satellite name. The location was in the Northern sky. I luckily got it at the very last seconds of it exiting it's phase of brightening peak..I was moving the camera just at the time it was about it beging flaring. But by then supposedly the camera on tripod was already aimed at the region and it got recorded...very fortunately for me..whew!! This is a beautiful bright flare! Then I left the camera exposed hoping for some beautiful star-trails. |

The Earth's shadow is the link between them! From upper left to lower right, you have three appearance of the Earth's shadow at increasing distances: - in the Earth's atmsophere, less than 10 km: the blue-grey to pink Belt of Venus (anticrepuscular arch) - high above the atmosphere, about 350 km: ISS entering in the Earth's shadow (yesterday evening) in Taurus constellation - in space vacuum, at 380 000 km from there: a total lunar eclipse (in 09/27/1996) |

PhotographerpaoloLocationCimini astronomical Observatory - ItalyDateFebbruary 2007EquipmentAF-S Nikkor 200mm f/2.0 G ED-UF VR on Marcon RC 500/8 SBIG STL 6303E Binning 1x1+ Astrodon filters B for L 75 min; R 9 min; G 9 min; B 9 min. Total 1h 40m of exposures.DescriptionHere my last shot just to prove my ultimate instrument (a perfect Nikon 200/2 14 elements 3 ED and 1 super ED). I tested also a new method in assembling the image (B;R;G;B) using 2 times the channel Blue: 1 for L and 1 for B.This for the reason the nebulosities are reflection in blue spectrum.The field of view are wide as about 6 degree! Pleiades & IC 353/1995 Overshadowed by the Pleiades, which are immediately to the SW of this extremeley faint patch of reflection nebulosity, IC353/1995 are rarely photographed, let alone in color. Measuring 180' X 30', this gossamer web of nebulosity is a real challenge. It is not clear if this nebula is associated with M-45, but I think yes. |
