Heute ist Herbstanfang, Tag- und Nachtgleiche. Da bietet es sich doch an, mal Nachtfotos zu posten.
Die Drei Zinnen und die Milchstraße.

I remember seeing the Milky Way with my own eyes while lying on my back in the Pine Barrens of New Jersey as a kid.
I've never seen the Milky Way since.

"Recent Developments Concerning the Gravitational Potential of the Milky Way. II. A Closer Look at the Data"
“We all share the same sky, and anyone from the same culture can identify the same constellations night after night. The loss of that access and heritage is a loss of part of our humanity.”
A thought-provoking text:

The #MilkyWay's Disk is Warped. Is That Because our #DarkMatter Halo is Tilted?

The Milky Way's Disk is Warped. Is That Because our Dark Matter Halo is Tilted?
Astronomers have measured the Milky Way's shape and found that the disk is warped and not a flat spiral like many of the galaxies we see in the Universe. It was assumed a collision with another galaxy in the ancient past caused this warping. Observations have shown that the galactic stellar halo is tilted concerning the galactic plane, and a new theory proposes that the dark matter halo is tilted, too. This tilt might be torquing the galaxy, causing the warp that astronomers have observed.


Quite an old photo (summer 2016) but still my favourite photo I've ever taken of the Milky Way. Taken at my parents' house in Bad Oeynhausen, Germany. I haven't been able to take a photo as good as this one since!
This is not a stacked photo but a rather simple long exposure taken with my old Canon 1100D and its kit lens.

Some shots of the Galactic Center I took up here in the gorgeous Berkshire Mountains. It was super fun putting all my new gadgets to work to get these shots! I’m super blown away at how much light this Sony 20mm f/1.8 G lens let’s in. These were shot at f/1.8, ISO 640, for 25 seconds. #photography #astrophotography #milkyway #galacticcenter #nightphotography #nightsky #stars #space #longexposure #night #galaxy #nature #cosmos #milkywaychasers #sonycamera #sonya7rv #sony20mmf18 #adobelightroom

The Milky Way last night from Webber’s Post in Exmoor National Park’s Dark Sky Reserve, UK. #exmoor #exmoornationalpark #milkyway #darksky #darkskyreserve #astronomy #astrophotography
We had wonderfully clear skies at #FreshwaterBay on the #IsleofWight last night, so my husband headed out to photograph the #MilkyWay
The Island is a great place for #nightsky photography as we have little light pollution over the majority of the land and seacape.

The Hubble Imaged Some Globular Clusters in an Unusual Place: Near the Milky Way's Centre
The Milky Way is surrounded by hundreds of globular clusters in the galactic halo, stripped away from dwarf galaxies long ago. Astronomers were surprised to find globular clusters near the galactic center, too. A new survey from the Hubble Space Telescope searched for globular clusters near the core, which is challenging to observe with all the gas and dust. Two well-known clusters aren't part of the bulge but happened to be passing through the region on a journey out to the halo, but some did appear to have formed near the Milky Way's supermassive black hole.

Cows.. watching the Aurora…
While I was out wandering the country lanes at 2am, as you do, I came across this group of cows all facing north, at about the same time a rather spectacular outburst of Aurora occurred.. it was brief, and once it subsided, they moved away.
Two quick shots at the #Milkyway, one taken from our terrace and the other from behind the house.
First photo shows a lot of light pollution from the city of Halkida (which is about 20 km from here) but also from Athens (c. 75km).
The second one shows some kind of antique space craft … or is it just the antenna on our roof? 🤭

I spent 10 days in July around the south of Tasmania in the hope to capture Aurora Australis with our home galaxy - this was the first night, and literally the only time the right conditions came together for about 20 minutes. A lot of sleepless nights with not many results followed 🤪.

You can also spot the Large Magellanic Cloud in the centre, and the purple Carina nebula on the top right.

This is the kind of dream #photography that many would like to #shoot. This #picture from Petr Horálek taken in the #Maldives last February shows the #MilkyWay over a beach, with a #meteor passing by.
What's make this #image so gorgeous is the #bioluminescence of the #planktons, which are even brighter than the stars.
Just a pity the #sky is polluted by artificial #lights.

Probably the last image of the #MilkyWay for this year before it sinks too low and is no longer so well visible.

On 14th August 2023 I had 2 #Canon1100D cameras shooting the #MilkyWay from my garden in Oxfordshire, UK. 10mm shots: 25x25sec ISO-3200 f/4.5. 50mm shots: 45 & 49x10sec ISO-1600 f2.2. Stacked with 20 darks using #Sequator. Click the images to view in full #UKMilkyWay #Astrophotography
Haven't had the time to draw anything the past weeks, been spending some quality time outside with friends and family, should be able to get back to drawing next week ^^'
Have some of the picture I've taken meanwhile :blobfoxcamera:

This is Arp 271, a pair of spiral galaxies locked in a gravitational dance. In a few billion years the #MilkyWay and the Andromeda galaxy might look like this!
This is the very last #photo ever taken with the VIMOS instrument at ESO's Very Large #Telescope in #Chile, back in 2018. After I finished the decommissioning procedures that night, I decided to take one last image as a farewell, and this was the result.
Spent the weekend in Vermont for a family birthday, and knew the skies should be dark enough for some night sky photography, but the weather didn't look like it was going to be cooperative. Ended up with a very narrow window last night to get a few shots in, so despite not having packed the tracker, got a few that were usable enough.
Here's one, from outside the vacation rental in Shaftsbury looking south towards Bennington.

A non-Perseid meteor whizzes past the core of the #MilkyWay in SW #NewMexico on Saturday night.
The Milky Way, as shown by one of the meteor cams near the Subaru Telescope in Hawaii. From 21:07 local time. If you go to the live feed URL below and scroll the play head back about 2 hours (as I write this post), you can see it "live”. The scrollback buffer is about 5.5 hours.
After almost two months of cloudy night skies we got a break last night.
There were some really good, bright #Perseids and the #MilkyWay was superb. But from my location the number of satellites crossing the sky has changed single shot astro photography forever. This single 8 second frame has 1 meteor, all the other light trails are satellites..
🚂 "The #train now boarding at Platform 3 is the 02:30 Paranal Express service to Proxima Centauri." 😉
I took this #photo at ESO's Paranal Observatory in #Chile back when I worked there. This wagon was donated by the FCAB (Ferrocarril de Antofagasta a Bolivia). It's being restored by ESO engineer Roberto Castillo, and it will serve as a museum showcasing various astronomical instruments.

Took another crack at editing this photo from last year. I've since got new things I need to try. I need time to get out and make some photos.
Steps under the stars at #ComptonBay on the #IsleofWight
There is very little light pollution at this location and my husband took advantage of the clear conditions to grab this shot.
Those steps are a bit of a killer when you're heading back up from the beach!
The Milky Way over a lake in northern Minnesota.
It was hard to believe how calm everything was on the night I took this photo. The reflections were mind-blowing!
Just popped outside, sky's looking quite pretty right now... Shot on my 6yr old #OnePlus5, tweaked with #lightroom app.
Stayed up way past my bedtime to take this photo. #mountrainiernationalpark #pnw #nightphotography #astrophotography #longexposure #milkyway #mattdieterich #mattdieterichphotography #canonphotography #ShotOnCanon
Sometimes the clouds roll in. That's ok.
#Aliens may have already visited #Earth.
Presuming that they'd be here at any point during our wafer-thin moment of existence on this #planet is the pinnacle of #narcissitic #human arrogance.
We're also far out in the sticks of the #MilkyWay #galaxy.
Maybe we only get scanned every #epoch (1,000,000 years) or even half an epoch. They could have "just" missed early #HomoSapien.
Anyway, the premise for 65, on #Netflix, "the atmosphere is breathable" is the most unbelievable part of the plot.
Epic view of the Milky Way.
This incredible #photo was taken by Steffi Lieberman and won the Milky Way Photographer of the Year award in 2023.
It was taken during a yearly #photography expedition to Socotra, a remote island in the Indian Ocean that is vastly unexplored.
The photo is a panoramic astro landscape from #madagascar featuring the complete Milky Way arc over the imposing baobabs.
It is titled "Night under the Baobab Trees"

I love spending time under the milky way. All Milky Way hours are time well spent.
The Milky Way over a Lake Superior island.
@APoD 🥥 There's a distribution of heavenly bodies in the #MilkyWay that looks to me like a #CanadaGoose.
Not really surprising since those birds seem to be pooping everywhere these days. 🥥
What’s the story behind the hundreds of thread-like structures extending several light years at the center of the Milky Way? The astronomers who happened upon these strange filaments by accident are trying to get to the bottom of it. Vice has more.
