As I capture more and more data in this region, I am amazed at the dusty detail that is there. I will continue to capture data on this one into the 32 hour mark. So far about 10 hours of integration time. 25% RGB data and 75% HOO narrowband data for an RGBHOO image. #astrophotography #photography #astronomy 🔭📷

This is a three hour long #photo sequence I took in Jan 2019 during a total lunar #eclipse at ESO's Paranal Observatory in #Chile

As the #Moon moves into the Earth's shadow it becomes red. When sunlight passes through the Earth's atmosphere, blue light is scattered away more efficiently than red light, which passes through almost unimpeded, like at #sunrise or #sunset.

From the Moon, you would see the Earth surrounded by a golden fiery ring.

Since I saw some of you enjoyed yesterday's photo of the ISS transiting our full moon, I thought I'd post some more details: This kind of transit is quite rare, but can be observed almost anywhere with some patience and planning. The ISS is about 400km above earth, and it circles around our planet 16 times a day - so it's faaaaast! The transit of the moon takes less than 1 second, so timing is everything. Here's a video... #iss #spacestation #transit #fullmoon #photography #astrophotography


It was really nice to contribute to this image of the Cone Nebula that ESO just released to mark 60 years of collaboration. It's one of the many things I love about my current job here: working with our amazing visual team to deliver cool images for you to enjoy.

What you see here is a pillar of dust and gas sculpted by the intense radiation of stars further up, outside of the field of view.

NASA published the free ebook "A Guide to Smartphone Astrophotography" by Sten Odenwald.

It's a comprehensive resource on using Android and iOS phones, as well as other equipment, to take photos of celestial objects, astronomical phenomena, and artificial satellites.
