We at last had a clear evening. This is a stitched image of multiple images of the Milky Way covering about 180 degrees and needs to be viewed large. The two patches of light below the bow are the two Magellanic Clouds, small nearby galaxies.

A few days ago came a report that the Large Magellanic Cloud (that's it here) is likely to crash into the Milky Way in just 2 billion years! Hey, we were supposed to be safe from a collision for 8 billion years. Ooops! Better backup of all your more valuable images, just in case. :-) Taken using the Pentax 'astrotracer' on the K1. View on black, maybe while listening to this. Explored.

Night sky in the country and a little torchlight to fill the foreground. Here's a musical link to go with it (suggest view large). HFF and have a great weekend, everyone. Explored.

A merged panorama of the southern sky, images taken using the Astrotracer facility on the Pentax K-1. Some details in notes. This really does need to be viewed large on black. Explored. Here's a suitable musical link.

A pleasing conjunction between the first quarter moon and Jupiter. I'd have needed more exposure to show Jupiter's moons. Does anyone know why the keywords on photos transferred from "the other site" are randomised and is there any way to prevent it? Taken with RMC Tokina 400mm 5.6 with Kenko X1.4 TC.
