I had to go back to Sarah Ann Rocks in north west Tasmania, the coastline is stunning and perfectly aligned for a shot of the Milky Way in October. The third image in this set was captured on the first visit in 2022. I believed I could capture a better image, so returned a year later and captured the first two images here. #photography #astro #astrophotography #nightskyphotography #milkyway #milkyway-photography #nature #naturephotography #coast #tasmania #seascape #seascapephotography

An evening sky image. A black/dark foreground stretched to a low dark and hilly horizon with scattered house lights, above, the sky has a low amber glow fading to pale greens with pink streaks reaching high into the blue scattered with stars

A time-lapsed evening sky image. A black/dark foreground stretched to a low dark and hilly horizon with scattered house lights, above, the sky has a low amber glow fading to pale greens with pink streaks reaching high into the blue scattered with stars. the images have been stacked together to show the movement in the sky coming through as white streaks staring to form a circle. The centre of that circle would be the Pole star, slightly above the highlighted area

A night sky time lapse image showing a black foreground with scattered lights from houses and low hills. The sky above the horizon is glowing green to varied degrees but there are white streaks like the grooves on a vinyl record caused by the rotation of the Earth. Several hundred photographs all stacked together to give this effect,

NOIRLab image of the week

Gemini North Under a Blanket of Airglow

Release date: Feb. 26, 2025
Full credits and details: https://noirlab.edu/public/images/iotw2509a/

I took the liberty to upload its panorama version in this interactive 360° app, give it a spin, it's beautiful: https://www.360cities.net/image/gemini-north-under-a-blanket-of-airglow-360-panorama/vr

The Milky Way shares the stage with a luminous bubble of green and orange airglow in this panoramic image of Gemini North, one half of the International Gemini Observatory, supported in part by the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) and operated by NSF NOIRLab. Gemini North (right) is accompanied here by the Canada-France-Hawai‘i Telescope (CFHT) (left). In this image, you could remove all of the stars, the brilliant stripe of the Milky Way, and the nearby city lights of Hilo, Hawai‘i (far left), and you would still be left with a picture that isn’t completely dark. This is thanks to the persistent light of airglow.

Airglow is primarily caused by sunlight interacting with atoms and molecules in Earth’s upper atmosphere, which allows them to gain excess energy. This excess energy is then released as a particle of light called a photon. The frequencies of the photons determine the captivating colors of airglow. While it’s often difficult to see this light with the naked eye, a camera can capture it, as seen in the photo above. Intersecting the Milky Way is another lucent phenomenon known as zodiacal light with the gegenschein to the right.

This photo was taken as part of the NOIRLab 2022 Photo Expedition to all the NOIRLab sites. Petr Horálek, the photographer, is a NOIRLab Audiovisual Ambassador. Fulldome and extended view versions of this photo also are available.

One of my first photos of the Milky Way, Idaho, Aug 2024. Shot on iPhone 15. I was thrilled to see it as it’s impossible to view in my light-polluted city. A comfort to know it exists beyond the reach of our cruelty and stupidity.

The Milky Way galaxy over the silhouette of a forested hillside in rural Idaho.

So ...... last night I had a camera out for a couple of hours for a time-lapse of ...... who knows what but, this morning, because it was basically stars, I thought I'd try something new (for me) #StarTrails #nightsky #Nightskyphotography #scottishskies #timelapse #photography
