Taken on September 21, 2019, in frames taken as part of a time-lapse. Faint bands of red airglow tint the sky, though the blue sky colour is from the moonlight. This is taken during the lunar “golden hour.”71427339 - Close-up of frames of uncapped honey in a tub, waiting to be put into a honey extractor machine71322901 - Photo frames for tourist photos on Venice Beach, California, USA71108285 - Whalebone arch frames the setting sun at the shore of the Arctic Ocean in Barrow, North Slope, Arctic Alaska, Winter71108288 - Whalebone arch frames the setting sun at the shore of the Arctic Ocean in Barrow, North Slope, Arctic Alaska, Winter71060182 - 'Colourful souvenir plates and frames; Chania, Crete, Greece'71106599 - The waves and caribbean sunset frames tree trunks on Ffryers Beach Antigua and Barbuda Leeward Islands West Indies.70163793 - Adult, Adults, Art, Arts, B&W, Bare, Black-and-White, Blurred, Caucasian, Caucasians, Concept, Concepts, Contemporary, Exhibit, Exhibition, Exhibitions, Exhibits, Facing camera, Female, Frame, Frames, Framing, Hold, Holding, Human, Indoor, Indoors, Inter71138587 - Green grass frames the windmill reflected in the canal at dusk Kinderdijk Rotterdam South Holland Netherlands Europe.70208702 - Accessories, Accessory, Anonymous, Child, Childhood, Children, Color, Colour, Contemporary, Coquetry, Coquette, Coquettish, Daytime, Difficult, Difficulty, Feet, Female, Feminine, Floor, Floors, Foot, Footgear, Footwear, Frame, Frames, Girl, Girls, Growin70101959 - Antique, Antiques, Antiquities, Color, Colour, Concept, Concepts, Elegance, Elegant, Empty, Frame, Frames, Geometry, Golden, Indoor, Indoors, Inside, Interior, No one, Nobody, Object, Objects, One, Painting, Paintings, Square, Squares, Thing, Things, Ver70225563 - Adult, Adults, Artistic effect, Beach, Beaches, Coast, Coastal, Color, Colour, Contemporary, Daytime, Exterior, Frame, Frames, Full-body, Full-length, Human, Leisure, Lifestyle, Lifestyles, Loneliness, Male, Man, Melancholy, Men, Mood, One, One person, Ou70105875 - Bed, Beds, Christmas, Christmas card, Christmas cards, Color, Colour, Concept, Concepts, Daytime, Decorated, Detail, Details, Different, Frame, Frames, Holiday, Holidays, Indoor, Indoors, Interior, Mirror, Mirror image, Mirror images, Mirrors, Ornate, Re71138573 - The green meadows of Glatsch Alm frames the Odle Funes Valley South Tyrol Trentino Alto Adige Italy Europe.71138589 - Aerial view of the village of Bellagio frames by the blue water of Lake Como on a sunny spring day Lombardy Italy Europe.71047729 - Frames for sale, Souk in the Medina, Marrakech, Morocco, North Africa, Africa70158499 - Adult, Adults, Aged, Back view, Careless, Carelessness, Color, Colour, Damaged, Empty, Female, Frame, Frames, Human, Look, Looking, Medium-shot, Odd, Old, One, One person, People, Person, Persons, Rear view, Single person, Stand, Standing, Strange, Waist71302523 - Flowering apple tree frames the Sanctuary of Tirano, Villa di Tirano, Sondrio, Valtellina, Lombardy, Italy71138736 - Aerial view of the turquoise waters of Lake Como and green headland that frames the village of Bellagio Italy Europe.71138726 - The rainbow frames the cows grazing in the green pastures of Campagneda Alp Valmalenco Valtellina Lombardy Italy Europe.70245074 - Aged, Antiquated, Cable, Cables, Close up, Close-up, Closeup, Color, Colour, Cord, Cords, detail, details, Different, Electric power, Electricity, Energy, Frame, Frames, Obsolete, Old, Old fashioned, Old-fashioned, Power, Switch, Switches, Wall, Walls, D570182874 - Adult, Adults, Aged, Aging, Beauty, Caucasian, Caucasians, Color, Colour, Contemporary, Elderly, Female, Frame, Frames, Hand, Hands, Hold, Holding, Horizontal, Human, Indoor, Indoors, Inside, Interior, Mature adult, Mature adults, Mature people, Melanchol71198066 - The waves and caribbean sunset frames tree trunks on Ffryers Beach Antigua and Barbuda Leeward Islands West Indies.14249380 - This frames the rich region of the southern Milky Way in the small constellations of Norma (at centre) and Ara (at left and extending to the top). The bright Norma Starcloud is at bottom with the rich star cluster NGC 6067 ermbedded in it. The large red nebula at top is NGC 6188, aka RCW 108, that surrounds a loose star cluster NGC 6193. The nebula has become known as the Fighting Dragons of Ara, from its apperance in close-up images. To the right of the large nebula is the small double-lobed planetary nebula NGC 6164, though it is tiny at this image scale.14249316 - This frames two contrasting nebulas on the border of Canis Major and Monoceros. At top is the large Seagull Nebula or IC 2177, an area of mostly red hydrogen-alpha emission and is a region of star formation, though it contains some blue reflection nebulas.14249184 - This is a portrait of the dust-filled region of sky in Taurus that frames the Hyades star cluster (at bottom) with bright yellow Aldebaran, up to the blue Pleiades star cluster (M45) at top. At left are the dense, dark brown Taurus Molecular Clouds catalogued by E.E. Barnard in the early 20th century with various B numbers such as B209 and B19.14249107 - This frames the small constellations of Sagitta the Arrow (at bottom) and Vulpecula the Fox (at top), to include a number of deep-sky objects in a wide field of view similar to that of binoculars.14249010 - This frames the Australian aboriginal "Dark Emu" made of dark dust lanes in the Milky Way as it rises in the east. The spectacular southern reaches of the Milky Way from Centaurus to Carina shine above high in the south, including the Southern Cross. The dark Coal Sack beside the Cross is the head of the Emu. Her neck is the dark lane that splits the Milky Way starting at the star Alpha Centauri and extending down and into Scorpius, here rising above the trees.14248832 - This frames the asterism called the False Cross, made of stars in Vela at top and Carina at right.14125970 - The window of an old ruin at Hot Springs frames the desert landscape and old post office in Big Bend National Park in Texas. The Sierra del Carmen Mountains in Mexico are in the distance.14249258 - This mosaic or panorama frames the rich region of the southern Milky Way in the small constellations of Norma (on the right) and Ara (on the left) in the Milky Way south of Scorpius.14249218 - This frames the variety of bright nebulas and dark dust clouds in and around the Belt and Sword of Orion.14249212 - This frames a selection of nebulas and star clusters in Puppis in a wide 15º by 10º field of view. At centre is the pair of contrasting and superb star clusters: rich NGC 2477 on the left and sparse but bright NGC 2451 on the right, centred on the orange star c Puppis.14248861 - This frames the region of the Milky Way in southern Canis Major and northern Puppis, rich in a variety of star clusters and some nebulosity. The field of view is 15º by 10º.14124981 - A dead snag frames the Ear of the Wind Arch in the Monument Navajo Valley Tribal Park, Arizona.14124896 - A dead snag frames the Ear of the Wind Arch in the Monument Navajo Valley Tribal Park, Arizona.14249090 - This frames the famous Pleiades or Seven Sisters star cluster (aka Messier or M45) set amid a dusty starfield in Taurus. The blue stars of the Pleiades are surrounded by bright blue reflection nebulosity, most prominent below the lower star Merope, a bit of nebula catalogued separately as NGC 1435. The odd horizontal spike above Merope is real and is catalogued as van den Bergh 20.14249042 - This frames the small constellation of Musca the Fly below the Southern Cross, whose notable feature is the long dark nebula called the Dark Doodad, part of the Musca Dark Nebula Complex.14248697 - This frames the spectacular region of the southern Milky Way, indeed the southernmost portion of the Milky Way, through Crux (at left) and Carina (at right). Below Crux are the stars of Musca the Fly, framed to include the Dark Doodad nebula, the long streak of dark dust below the larger Coal Sack nebula beside the stars of Crux, the Southern Cross. The large bright Carina Nebula at right is surrounded by a variety of star clusters, including the blue Southern Pleiades, IC 2602, at lower right. At centre is the Running Chicken Nebula, IC 2944/48.14125629 - The window of an old ruin at Hot Springs frames the desert landscape and old post office in Big Bend National Park in Texas. The Sierra del Carmen Mountains in Mexico are in the distance.14249389 - This frames the rich area in southern Scorpius that contains the "False Comet" cluster, NGC 6231 which, along with the looser, larger clusters Ruprecht 122 and Collinder 316, appears as a hazy elongated comet to the naked eye. In 1986 Comet Halley was in this area and many mistook this deep-sky field for the comet, thus the moniker, as best I know! Photos show the nebulosity in the field, which is IC 4628, aka the Prawn Nebula. Above the nebula is the star cluster NGC 6242. To the left is NGC 6268, and above it is the larger cluster NGC NGC 6281. At the bottom edge at centre is the cluster NGC14248684 - This frames a 15º by 10° field around Sirius, at top, to include the bright star cluster Messier 41 below it.14248661 - This frames a pair of contrasting and superb star clusters in Puppis: rich NGC 2477 on the left and sparse but bright NGC 2451 on the right, the latter centred on the orange star c Puppis.14125506 - Arched doorway through the protective wall around the Mission San Xavier del Bac frames the Grotto Hill, Tucson Arizona.14249502 - This frames the entire Small Magellanic Cloud, a member of the Local Group of galaxies and a companion of our Milky Way Galaxy.14249478 - This frames the southern Milky Way from Canis Major and its bright star Sirius at top, to Carina and its bright star Canopus at bottom. Sirius and Canopus are the first and second brightest stars in the night sky, respectively. The major feature here is the massive Gum Nebula, perhaps a remnant from a nearby (1500 light years away) but ancient supernova. Or it might be a more normal emission nebula created as part of star formation and stellar winds. Its 36º-wide extent sprawls across Puppis (just below Canis Major) and Vela (to the left of Canopus). It was discovered by Australian astronomer 14249436 - This frames the famous Southern Cross, aka Crux, and the star clusters and nebulas in its vicinity.14249418 - This frames the rich area surrounding the Galactic Centre, which is located at top centre here amid the dark lane of dust and above a small diffuse area of red nebulosity. To the left is the bright Sagittarius Starcloud, which contrasts with the dark lane that runs down the Milky Way. Nowhere else is there such a stark and sharp contrast between bright starclouds and dark lanes of dust. The star clouds show the yellowing effect of interstellar dust absorbing star light and reddening it.14249347 - This frames most of the intricate arcs and loops of the Vela Supernova Remnant (SNR), the remains of a star that exploded about 11,000 years ago. It is one of the closest SNRs to Earth, about 900 light years away. Most arcs and segments have no separate catalogue numbers, with the exception of the short straight Pencil Nebula, aka Herschel's Ray, in the lower left corner which is NGC 2736. It is the brightest segment of the Vela SNR visually in a telescope. The nebula complex is marked with lots of cyan arcs emitting oxygen III wavelengths, mixed with regions of red hydrogen-alpha emission.14249072 - This frames a region along the Milky Way on the borders of: northern Canis Major, southern Monoceros, and northern Puppis. It is rich in nebulas and, in particular, open star clusters. The field is 10º tall by 15º wide, so roughly twice the width of a binocular field of view.14249066 - This frames the dark Coal Sack nebula in Crux, the Southern Cross, here recorded as multiple dark lanes, though to the eye the Coal Sack appears as one solid dark region in the Milky Way. The bright star at bottom is Acrux, or Alpha Cruxis, while the star at top is Becrux, or Beta Cruxis. Acrux is a superb double star in a telescope but it is not resolved here at this scale.14248669 - This portrait frames the constellation of Orion, plus parts of Monoceros to the left and Gemini and Taurus above, composed to include most of the emission and reflection nebulas in this rich region along the Milky Way.14248654 - This frames the rich field in Carina and Centaurus containing some of the finest nebulas and star clusters in the sky, and is one of the brightest regions of the Milky Way, certainly the southernmost.14125930 - The window of an old ruin at Hot Springs frames the desert landscape in Big Bend National Park in Texas.14124627 - The window of an old ruin at Hot Springs frames the desert landscape in Big Bend National Park in Texas.14123340 - The window of an old ruin at Hot Springs frames the desert landscape in Big Bend National Park in Texas.14353836 - The Porta del Popolo frames a stunning glimpse of Rome's famous architecture.14248716 - This frames the rich region of the southern Milky Way in the small constellation of Ara.14125205 - The windows of an old ruin at Hot Springs frames the desert landscape in Big Bend National Park in Texas.14124661 - Arched doorway through the protective wall around the Mission San Xavier del Bac frames the Grotto Hill, Tucson Arizona.14124193 - Arched doorway through the protective wall around the Mission San Xavier del Bac frames the Grotto Hill, Tucson Arizona.13900034 - A circumpolar star trail stack taken from the Table Mountain Star Party, July 26, 2014, at the Eden Valley Guest Ranch. This is a stack created from 250 frames taken for a time-lapse movie, stacked using Advanced Stacker Actions with "Elastic Stars" effect. Each frame was 45 seconds at f/2.8 with the Rokinon 14mm lens and Canon 6D at ISO 2000.13899158 - The constellations of Cygnus and Lyra in the northern summer Milky Way, shot from Grasslands National Park, Saskatchewan, August 27, 2019. Dew intervened before I could shoot more frames or ones through the Softon filter.13898054 - The International Space Station (ISS) flying away to the east over the moonlit badlands formations at Dinosaur Provincial Park, Alberta, on July 12, 2022, just before local midnight. The image frames the stars of Cassiopeia (upper left), Perseus (at left), Andromeda (centre) and Pegasus (at right). A couple of other fainter satellites are also in the image. Light from the almost Full Moon illuminates the sky blue and foreground a warm colour.13844836 - Girls organizing frames of pressed leaves and flowers13999597 - This frames the rich collection of starclouds and nebulas along the Milky Way from northern Sagittarius,at bottom,to Scutum,at top. It includes two prominent star clouds: the Small Sagittarius Starcloud,aka Messier 24,at bottom and the Scutum Starcloud at top.13998648 - A portrait of green Comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF) in Taurus beside Aldebaran and the Hyades on February 14,2023,with Mars at upper left,and the Pleiades at upper right. This frames some of the other NGC star clusters in Taurus.13925363 - The doorway in Structure A2 frames Pyramid B1 in the Mayan ruins in the Cahal Pech Archeological Reserve, Belize.\n13900107 - Total Solar Eclipse, from a site 130 km south of Tobrouk, Libya; March 29, 2006. 0.8 second exposure with Canon 20D camera and 10-22mm lens at 12mm focal length and f/5 aperture. Exposure set auotmatically. Part of a time-lapse sequence with frames firing every 1s.71444500 - Flowering gorse frames the bay at Cap Fréhel, Côte d'Émeraude, Emerald Coast, Brittany, France13999719 - This frames the bright Scutum Starcloud at centre and surrounding region of the Milky Way,with the bright starfields contrasting with the dark lanes and obscuring dust in this region of the Milky Way. The bright star cluster Messier 11,or the Wild Duck Cluster,is left of centre embedded in the Starcloud. The smaller star cluster M26 is below it. At bottom right,the star cluster set in a dark lane and above the blue star is NGC 6649. That blue star has a small reflection nebula around it,IC 1287.13999239 - This wide-field image frames the end stars of the Big Dipper's handle — Mizar at top,and Alkaid at bottom — and to also include in the frame the bright galaxies Messier 101 (at left) and Messier 51 (at lower right,aka the Whirlpool Galaxy). They are small on this image scale but the image serves for a finder chart illustration of the location of these galaxies relative to the Handle. The famous double star Mizar and Alcor is also obvious at top,as is the red giant star 83 Ursa Majoris. The field is 10° x 15°,so wider than binoculars.13999035 - This frames the Milky Way from the bright star Altair in Aquila (at bottom left) up to Albireo in Cygnus (at top right). In between are the small constellations of Sagitta the Arrow and Vulpecula the Fox.13998548 - This frames the rich assortment of bright and dark nebulas in northern Cygnus,around the bright star Deneb above centre.13899504 - Comey Lovejoy, C/2014 Q2, nearest the Pleiades star cluster, Messier 45, on the night of Sunday, January 18, 2015, with its blue ion tail almost passing over the cluster. This is a stack of 6 x 2 minute exposures at f/2.5 with the 135mm lens and Canon 5D MkII at ISO 1600, on the Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer tracker. Taken from City of Rocks State Park, New Mexico, Some haze was passing thru this night but this is a stack of the cleanest frames.13998987 - This is a panorama along about 60° of the northern summer Milky Way from Cepheus at left,to Cygnus at centre and at right. It frames the great variety of bright and dark nebulas in this region of the sky,notably:13998868 - This frames the region of northern Cygnus containing the bright emission nebulas,the North America and Pelican Nebulas,at bottom,and the dark nebula called LeGentil 3 or the Funnel Cloud Nebula at top,for its tornado-like shape. The latter is one of the darkest areas of the northern Milky Way,similar to the Coal Sack in the southern sky. The bright star at bottom right is Deneb. The small patch of emission nebulosity to the right of Deneb is Sharpless 2-112. Above it is Sh2-115. The large nebula at bottom left is the Clamshell Nebula or Sharpless 2-119. The curving nebula below the Pelican Neb13899519 - This is a stack of images demonstrating the number of satellites passing through the field of a wide-field telescope over a little more an hour. The field frames the Coma Berenices star cluster. This is from my home at 51° North, a latitude more prone to seeing satellites lit by the Sun well into the evening, if not all night closer to summer solstice. Most trails are north-south so they are likely NOT Starlink satellites but polar orbiting satellites. Interesting that the trails have different colours, likely from their solar panels or other structures reflecting blue and gold tints.13898038 - Sagittarius and Scorpius in diagonal framing, with Milky Way from Ara to Serpens. Taken with 50mm Sigma lens at f/4 and Canon 5D MkII at ISO 800 for stack of just 2 frames each at 6 minutes. Cloud prevented more exposures. Taken from Atacama Lodge, San Pedro de Atacama, Chile.13898007 - Waning Moon series, Aug 2005. Canon 20Da, with Astro-Physics 5-inch refractor and 2x barlow at f/12. Taken from RAW frames, plus Noise Ninja applied.13899777 - Circumpolar star trails at dawn over the historic Butala homestead at the Old Man on His Back Prairie and Heritage Conservation Area in southwest Saskatchewan, taken May 2015. This is a stack of 70 frames from a larger time-lapse sequence, from the start of the sequence in the dusk twilight, with some aurora active and adding green and magenta to the sky. Cassiopeia is at left over the house.13899093 - A “cloud streak” photo made using the same techniques as in stacking star trails only its the clouds trailing, or streaking. I shot this Canada Day, July 1, 2015 from Scotsman Hill overlooking Calgary, awaiting the fireworks. This is a stack of 110 frames, merged with Advanced Stacker Actions using the Ultrastreaks action. Despite the blending, the ~ 8s gap between exposures still led to gaps in the streaks - you’d have to shoot at 1s intervals to eliminate them. To smooth out the gaps I added a duplicate layer for the sky with a Radial Blur filter applied to further streak the clouds. I also 13899014 - Circumpolar star trails at dawn over the historic Butala homestead at the Old Man on His Back Prairie and Heritage Conservation Area in southwest Saskatchewan, taken May 2015. This is a stack of 70 frames from a larger time-lapse sequence, from the end of the sequence in the dawn twilight. Each exposure is 40 seconds with the 14mm lens at f/2.8 and Canon 60Da at ISO 1600. Stacked with Advanced Stacker Actions. The foreground comes from a stack of 8 of the final exposures, mean combined, to smooth noise.13898799 - An illustration of a red auroral curtain mixing with the green auroral arc to make an area of yellow-orange in the aurora this night. This was from home in Alberta on September 26, 2022. It frames the stars of Taurus rising with bright Mars at left and the Hyades star cluster at right.13898657 - The total lunar eclipse of April 4, 2015 at dawn over the Tear Drop Arch Mesa at Monument Valley, Utah. This is a blend of three exposures: a 44-second shot at f/3.5 and ISO 800 for the sky (with the camera on the Star Adventurer tracker to track the sky for the sharp stars) and an identical exposure with the tracker motor off (for the sharp foreground), plus a short 1-second exposure for the eclipsed Moon blended with its over exposed image. All frames with the 16-35mm lens at 26mm and with the Canon 60Da. Frames shot at ~6:07 am. MDT, about 4 minutes after totality as the sky and landscape w13999274 - Two lone Lyrid meteors on the peak of the meteor shower night,April 22,2023. Two captured out of 342 frames taken over 2 hours. The sky and ground come from the exposure with the bright meteor on it,when a dim aurora was also on the northeast horizon. The bright meteor shows the classic green to pink gradient of colours. Vega and Lyra are rising at lower centre. Deneb and Cygnus are at left. Arcturus is at upper right.13845337 - Girls organizing frames of pressed leaves and flowers13882833 - Gentoo Penguins on rocks in front of a building with red window frames in Port Lockroy at British Base A in Antarctica.13881826 - Along the Caledonian Canal, a double rainbow frames a gull and ducks floating in the water near Corpach, Scotland; Corpach, Scotland71414412 - Arch frames Devils Canyon in the Bighorn National Recreation Area, Montana, USA71029079 - Ihlow Abbey, steel frames shows former church profile, Lower Saxony, Germany70220559 - Decoration, photo frames with wine labels hung on the wall, Restaurant Taverne Zum Schäfli, Owner and head chef Wolfgang Kuchler, Wigoltingen, Lake Constance, Switzerland70515955 - woodcarver, Emilio Piacentini restores furniture, chairs, carves picture frames, timber artefacts, decoration for gondolas, Cannaregio, Venice, Italynext page
