Catching Auroras

The lightness colors our world against the darkness.

The photograph features a snowy field, with a lone, straggly pine tree in the dark. It’s dark, so it is difficult to see any details or features, but we can see it is snowy. The lone pine tree has short branches, isn’t very tall, and is crooked. But it is making it all the same. What makes this photograph, though, is the aurora in the top two-thirds of the photograph. Way to bury the lede, right? Anyway, this is a curtain-kind of aurora, and it appears to be coming down from left to right, top to bottom. The lower right-hand corner doesn't have any yet, and you can see the blue of the sky and the stars beyond. The colors range from a light turquoise in the upper left corner to purples in the lower left, then blues, a little red, and some neon green at the front edge of the aurora, leading up to the middle right. It is as if colored curtains are being drawn over the scene. The darkness of the foreground and the loneliness of the pine, juxtaposed with the colorful auroras, make an interesting composition.

RE: tech.lgbt/@0x56/11546861596346…

~6 months and a few 100s hours of experience later, i tried reprocessing some raw data from last fall. it could still be better, but pretty happy with the improvement until next Orion season!

This is a hard one for me to catch, but I got lucky last month and was able to capture more data that I combined with some data from May 2025.

Rho Ophiuchi is one of my favorite nebulae. It’s so colorful in broadband; no filters necessary. I wish it wasn’t so close to the horizon for me.

Messier 65 is a spiral galaxy in Leo, ~35 million light-years away. Part of the Leo Triplet, it shows signs of tidal interaction with its neighbors and reveals intricate dust lanes through a telescope.

☄️ And again the clouds cleared at dusk.

The tail shows some nice detail. The curved shapes happen because the comet rotates on an axis as it outgasses and ejects dust from its surface.

At the moment that dust is is picked up by the solar wind and pushed out away from the Sun. The comet itself is also on its way back to the outer reaches of the solar system, never to be seen again.

Still a bit early for this subject, but had a night of decent seeing last night, and with the full moon there ain't many bright emission nebulae to aim for with a narrowband filter; at least not in my field of view.
So here it is: a bit more than 2.5 hours of Caldwell 27 on May 1st...

May’s full moon is the Flower Moon, also known by Indigenous names like the Planting Moon (Cherokee), the Moon of Weeding Corn (Algonquin), and the Field Maker Moon (Abenaki).

Somewhere near its western edge is Carroll Crater, newly named by the Artemis II crew for the deceased wife of Commander Reid Wiseman. What a profoundly human gesture — to grace Luna with names tied to the rhythms of our lives, and to love.
