PhotographerJuan Carlos CasadoLocationLlers, Catalonia, EuropeDate2013 March 20th, about 19 h UTEquipmentA 300 mm f/2.8 coupled to a Canon 5D Mark III camera.DescriptionI have obtained this image of Panstarrs Comet (C/2011 L4) on March 20th, 2013, beginning of northern spring. It was difficult to place and coordinate my son Jokin with only 6 years old on a ladder, just 50 meters away considering also that he could not see the comet. For this image I used a 300 mm telephoto lens, so that the effect of perspective seems to look and try to reach the comet. The first quarter moon provides ambient lighting that illuminates the figure. |

PhotographerBernard MillerLocationAnimas, NMDateFebruary 10 - March 14, 2013EquipmentTelescope: TEC-140 (F7) Camera: SBIG ST-8300M Mount: AP900 GTO Luminance: 25x20 minutes (binned 1x1) Red: 12x15 minutes (binned 2x2) Green: 12x15 minutes (binned 2x2) Blue: 12x15 minutes (binned 2x2)DescriptionThis is a picture of Abell 21 (The Medusa Nebula). This is a planetary nebula about 1500 light years away in the constellation Gemini. This is an interesting PN due to the asymmetry in its composition. This could be because it is a very old PN. I chose this framing because the upper right corner of the image contains open cluster NGC2395 |
