• Perseid by Mat Robinson Via Flickr: http://ift.tt/10yeJPk http://ift.tt/10yeHqy http://www.twitter.com/matrobinson88 Having got back from my Dales trip at midnight and spotting one of the meteors on the way home through York – I decided to go out and sit in the back yard for a bit. Saw a good 25 or so… but very few on camera.

• ‘Facing Down the Titans’ Trona Pinnacles by Gavin Hardcastle – Fototripper Via Flickr: Magical, creepy and slightly unnerving. Those are just a few choice words I’d use to describe the Trona Pinnacles at night. While we were shooting, a helicopter flew directly toward us with a search light freezing us in our tracks. I’ve no idea what they were searching for but when they landed in the park we fully expected to see a SWAT team come swarming around the pinnacles. After a tense few minutes waiting for the carnage to begin, we saw the helicopter lift off and go back from whence it came. Strange goings on at the Pinnacles I tell thee. Process with ‘Gavins Milky Way Lightroom Tutorials’ which can be found here http://ift.tt/1EzlKoA

• Alone in the Universe – ‘Alone in the Universe’ This was taken at the Dutch Veluwe. Perseiden storms were predicted that night and the skies were very clear. It was a perfect night to do some Milky Way shooting. When I was taking some photos of my friend standing in front of the Milky Way, I noticed something in the sky. It looked like a star moving, but it was much slower. It turned out to be the white stripe you see in the image here. After research, it turns out that this is the ISS (International Space Station). I was extremely excited: a selfie with the Milky Way AND the ISS! How awesome is that? EXIF: Sony A7II, Samyang 14mm f2.8 @ 2.8, ISO 3200, 20 seconds.

• NGC 7293 – Nebulosa Hélix – Um olho no espaço – Nome: Nebulosa Helix, NGC 7293 Tipo: Nebulosa Planetária Distância: 700 anos-luz Constelação: Aquário [1] A Nebulosa Hélix, catalogada como NGC 7293, encontra-se a 700 anos-luz distante na constelação de Aquário. É um dos mais próximos e espetacular exemplo de nebulosa planetária. Estes exóticos objetos não tem nada a ver com planetas, mas são estrelas semelhantes ao nosso sol em uma fase de evolução estelar antes de se tornarem estrelas anãs brancas. As camadas de gases são arrancadas da superfície da estrela, criando padrões intricados e de extrema beleza, que brilham sob forte radiação ultravioleta de uma tênue, mas muito quente, estrela central. O principal anel da Nebulosa Hélix estende-se por cerca de dois anos-luz ou a metade da distância entre o nosso Sol e sua estrela vizinha mais próxima.[2] Apesar de ser espetacular em fotografias a Hélix é difícil de se observar visualmente pois sua luz tênue está espalhada por uma vasta área do céu e a história de sua descoberta é um tanto obscura. Ela apareceu primeiro em uma lista de novos objetos compilada pelo astrônomo alemão Karl Ludwig Harding em 1824. O nome Hélix vem de sua aparência no formato de saca-rolhas visto em fotografias anteriores.[2] Embora a Hélix pareça muito com uma rosquinha, estudos têm mostrado que possivelmente ela é composta por pelo menos dois discos separados com anéis externos e por filamentos. O disco interior mais brilhante parece estar se expandindo a cerca de 100.000 km/h e pode ter levado cerca de 12.000 anos para se formar.[2] Como Hélix é relativamente próxima – cobre uma área do céu cerca de um quarto da Lua cheia – ela pode ser estudada com muito mais detalhes do que a maioria das outras nebulosas planetárias além de encontrarem estruturas complexas e inesperadas. Em todo o interior do anel há pequenas bolhas, conhecidas como “nós cometários”, com caudas tênues que estendem-se para longe da estrela central. Eles se parecem notavelmente com gotículas de líquido correndo por uma superfície de vidro. Embora pareçam pequenas, cada nó é quase do tamanho do nosso Sistema Solar. Estes nós têm sido amplamente estudados, tanto pelo telescópio VLT do ESO como pelo telescópio espacial Hubble da NASA/ESA, mas ainda permanecem parcialmente esclarecidos. Um olhar cuidadoso em imagens de alta resolução da parte central deste objeto revela não apenas os nós, mas também muitas galáxias remotas vistas através do fino gás brilhante que se dissemina. Algumas delas parecem estar reunidas em grupos de galáxias espalhadas por várias partes da imagem.[2] Fonte: [1] ESO – http://ift.tt/VIY9An [2] ESO – http://ift.tt/1IQ420Q Esta imagem foi registrada em 16 de julho de 2015 em Padre Bernardo – Goiás – Brasil durante o 8º Encontro Brasileiro de Astrofotografia. Dados técnicos: ISO 800, exposição total de 2h55m (35 subs), darks (200), flats (132) e bias (200) aplicados.

• NGC 7380 Wizard Nebula – We’re off to see the wizard… Lying at a distance of 8,000 light years, this cloud of gas and dust appears to span nearly one degree across. Its low surface brightness however makes this a challenging subject. This image was captured under the dark skies of Santa Fe, New Mexico. Telescope: 12″ aperture at f/5. Camera: 8-megapixel thermally-cooled CCD. This bi-colored image was made by superimposing multiple exposures through hydrogen-alpha (red) and oxygen-III (blue) filters. by trout7000 via http://flic.kr/p/x4cvvg

• M31, the Andromeda Galaxy – The famous Andromeda Galaxy is the nearest large galaxy to our own Milky Way. It is so bright that under dark skies it is easily seen by naked eye as a fuzzy patch of light in the northern part of the constellation of Andromeda. Also seen in this photograph are M31’s companion galaxies M110 (below) and M32 (above). M31 is a gigantic collection of billions of stars estimated to be 2.5 million light years away. It has been observed since ancient times and was first catalogued by astronomers as long ago as 905 AD. by write_adam via http://flic.kr/p/L1VCf

• M42, the Great Orion Nebula – The Great Orion Nebula (M42) and its companion, the Running Man Nebula (NGC1977), are located in the ‘Sword’ part of the constellation of Orion, just below the easternmost of the three stars that comprise Orion’s belt. Approximately 1500 light years away, M42 is a turbulent cloud of gas and dust, and a star-forming region of particular interest to astro-geeks like me. A number of hot young stars (mmm…hot young stars…) fuel the dense swathes of surrounding gas, causing it to ionize and produce its glow. by write_adam via http://flic.kr/p/L1VC1
