Photographereitel monacoLocationTannay - switzerlandDate15-05-2012EquipmentMEADE RCX400 16' with SBIG ST8 XmeDescriptionHR Diagrams that correlate color and absolute magnitude for Open and Globular clusters. It can be seen how in the open clusters there is abundance of blue and hot stars, with only a few red giants, while in the oldest globular clusters, most of the stars have now left the main sequence with only few blue hot stars left. On the M67 HR diagram, thought in the past to be cluster from which our Sun originated, it can be seen the abundance of yellow stars in the middle of the main sequence. |

PhotographerJeff.daiLocationYunnan ChinaDate2012-4-15EquipmentPentax K-5 SMC PENTAX DA 10-17mm/F3.5-4.5 FishEye O-GPS1DescriptionPeople always leave after the sunset. but for me, a stargazer, the true arena was just begin.I stood on the edge of the cliff, facing the wild wind and Gazing at the starry sky. Luckily the light pollution didn't influence the sky alot. The Winter Milky Way crossed over the mountains, Venus and the sisters immersed in Zodiacal light. This is the beauty of night that you won't see if you don't hold on after sunset, and that is what we need to protect. Please treat them as your friends. Thank you. |
