With the global economy caught in the gravity of the financial crisis, it’s sad that programs like the Constellation Project will have a long wait before anything truly gets off the ground. / / NASA’s Constellation Project is set up to finish the International Space Station, retire the Shuttle Fleet and build a whole new fleet of space vehicles which will take us back to the Moon, then Mars and then the places beyond. / / But with Congressional limitations and funding cutbacks due to the financial crisis, as well as being stuck with a complicated and restrictive “go as you pay” finance structure it’s unlikely we’ll be seeing any groundbreaking manned space flights in the naughties. / / This image represents a fleeting memory of a childhood dream to see man explore our planets and then the stars beyond and it’s one of the few things as a child I looked up to America for. / / The universe is a big place and we’re yet to make it out of our solar system but without programs like the Constellation Project, man may never ever get to make another giant leap. / / DETAIL / / / /

Tutorial: Photographing the Milky Way with a standard DSLR camera
by Cain DohertyI have an improved and better formatted version of this tutorial in my wordpress blog....
I have an improved and better formatted version of this tutorial in my wordpress blog. This tutorial will cover the development of my image Milky Way from Apollo Bay using a Canon 350D, a wide angle lens, Adobe Photoshop and an image alignment program called hugin. For this to be repeatable you must be shooting with clear dark skies, free from light pollution. I used settings of Tv: 20 sec, Av: f/4, focal length: 17mm and ISO speed: 1600. A shutter release cable is also a great tool and can keep your camera clicking as it sits on the tripod. The more images taken, the better for the final result, because this will improve the signal to noise ratio that plagues digital sensors during long exposures. A tracking mount is not necessary with a 20 second shutter speed because the rotation of the night sky is undetectable at such a wide angle. Please read the following steps for more information. All images are hyperlinked to larger sizes. 1) Download this zipped folder containing four of my unaligned shots of the Milky Way. 2) Load them into hugin_0.7_beta_4. 3) Manually align images with control points – don’t automatically align. I aligned three images to a common one. Enlarge the screenshot for details. 4) Click Edit – fine tune all points. 5) Click View – preview window. 6) Click Center and Fit buttons to achieve this view. 7) Click Edit – Optimise. 8) Click Stitcher – image format – multiple tiff . Final screen before clicking Stitch Now . 9) If you don’t want to worry about learning how to align the images with hugin, then you can download this zipped folder containing the four prealigned images of the Milky Way. 10) Load each image onto a new layer in photoshop adjusting the blend mode to screen which is good at lightening images without lightening the darkest areas. 11) Add a medium contrast curves layer. 12) Add colour balance layer: shadows (-90,-25,-10), midtones (-15,-5,-20), highlights (0,-5,30). 13) The final result For comparison’s sake, shown below is a typical accompanying jpeg to a raw file I began with for one of the individual images. I used Adobe Camera Raw to extract the jpegs provided in step 1 for processing. In closing, I’d like to point out this is not the only way an image like this can be captured; there is myriads of possibilities. I have developed this simple and inexpensive method by just experimenting with the tools at my disposal. Comments are welcomed. If you haven’t done so already, please check out another tutorial I have written: Layer Masks and Transparency Gradients for The Heart.

On your view screen now is the Globular Cluster Omega Centauri. This cluster of approximately 2 million stars and is located about 16,000 light years from Earth. / The cluster is held together by gravity and is in orbit about the centre of the Milky Way Galaxy. The cluster is visible as the 24th brightest star in the constellation of Centaurs. (The brightest stars in any constellation are given the Greek Letters in order of brightness.) Though the stars look crowded together they are still separated by large distances and will rarely collide. The stars that make up Globular Clusters are the oldest in the Universe. / This image was taken with a Nikon D300 attached to a 6” f7 telescope on an Equatorial Mount. The effective focal length is 1066mm. This image is made from 3×5 minute exposures combined in CS2.

Now I love astro boy and would never wish him dead! However skulls are cool and anyone who read the orginal manga would find more than a few episodes where astro wanted to be more human, so I’ve just taken that idea and sprinted with it down the road of artistic license. (at least that’s my story and I’m sticking to it!) plus as I said, skulls are cool! I’d love to unpack why they’re cool, but for now, just trust me!

M51 is my favorite galaxy, and She was especially beautiful this night. I could see her spiral structure in the 250mm diameter telescope. I couldn’t resist to make a photo. She is located in the constellation Canes Venatici, we find her starting from the easternmost star of the Big Dipper, Alkaid, and going 3.5° southeast. Between 20 and 40 millions light-years away, no one knows exactly. / About 38 000 light-years diameter. / Hundreds billions stars and planet. / How many civilizations… 24 exposures of 1mn30 selected from a series of 70. Pre-processing and addition with Iris. Noise reduction with Neat Image. Curves, levels, vignetage reduction under Photoshop. — M51 est ma galaxie préférée. Généralement on l’appelle la Galaxie du Tourbillon mais je préfère l’appelé la Galaxie des Chiens de Chasses. Elle était vraiment belle cette nuit là. Je pouvais voir ses bras spiraux de le télescope de 250mm de diamètre. J’ai pas pu résister à faire une photo. Elle se trouve la constellation des Chiens de Chasses. On la trouve en partant de l’étoile la plus à l’est de la Grande Ourse, Alkaid, puis on va à 3.5° au sud-est. Entre 20 et 40 année-lumières de distance, persone ne sais exactement. / Environ 38 000 année-lumières de diamètre. / Des centaines de milliards d’étoile et de planètes. / Et combien de civilisations… 24 poses d’une minute trente sélectionner parmi une série de 70. Pré-traitement et addition sous Iris. Réduction du bruit avec Neat Image. Courbes, Niveaux, réduction du vignetage sous Photoshop.
