Mount Everest Star Trails
* Image Credit & Copyright: Jeff Dai (TWAN)

Explanation:
The highest peak on planet Earth is framed in this mountain and night skyscape. On September 30, the digital stack of 240 sequential exposures made with a camera fixed to a tripod at an Everest Base Camp captured the sheer north face of the Himalayan mountain and foreground illuminated by bright moonlight. Taken over 1.5 hours, the sequence also recorded colorful star trails. Reflecting the planet's daily rotation on its axis, their motion is along gentle concentric arcs centered on the south celestial pole, a point well below the rugged horizon. The color of the trails actually indicates the temperatures of the stars. Blueish hues are from hotter stars, and yellow to reddish hues are from stars cooler than the Sun.

A view from an airplane window during twilight, showing the wing silhouetted against the sky. A comet –a white elongated smudge– hovers above the horizon, surrounded by scattered stars. Below, faint city lights dot the dark landscape.

Here's a pano photo from my #Astrophotography early morning session at Strathnairn, ACT earlier this year.

Strathnairn Nights Panorama of the Milky Way core

Strathnairn Nights

Strathnairn lies on the western edge of Canberra 🇦🇺, making it a great spot for astro photography in the mid-to-late Milky Way Core Season (Mar-Nov). In June 2024 I visited on a very cold, moonless early morning. Temperatures were -5C or so.

I took a picture of #jupiter this morning and I think it's my best one yet! The conditions were the best I've ever seen in my backyard in #purmerend, the Netherlands. Gear: Skywatcher Skymax 180 and ZWO asi 224MC-s. #astrodon #astrophotography
Colour image of Jupiter, a beige sphere with horizontal brown bands. The bottom band is interrupted by the great red spot, a centuries-old storm that looks like a little oval. The beige band in the middle has blueish gray waves.
