The Filaments was formed by the Super Nova explosion the remnants of that explosion. Even the pencil nebula is a part of the explosion. This is a very small part of the whole area as its end of season for this part of the sky no way I could do a whole panorama. The Blue is Oxygen that in the two shots above you can see as white Filaments. What you are looking at is in the bottom wide field of the area just below the large Left big nebula you can see just below but this shot is rotated. This whole area has some great targets for next year, this was some thing I was looking forward to being able to do with the filters as I knew the blue stood out.

The Passu Cones are a striking Karakoram formation of 6000m jagged peaks which are a backdrop to the village of Passu, in Gojal, far North Pakistan. Driving towards them and winding and ascending through them on The Karakoram Highway leads to the 4700m Khunjerav Pass, and the China border. The fences or border markers here are all stone as it is the most easily available building material. Wood is precious and limited in supply. Wishing a peaceful Friday and weekend during this post- Christmas period and into 2025. If only the whole world were at peace….

Ramzes to Rashid: Hey brother, it’s getting much colder now in Germany, isn’t it! The cheetah brothers Ramzes and Rashid in the Dresden Zoo.

This is the test mule after cleaning and checking Both NB and RGB for signs of the filter Ghosts. This is the very same target as the tests to really check that every thing is really all good. What better way to really see, so I did 5 nights of NB in total about 130 shots per filter. This has been held up by rain and clouds so its far from consecutive nights. This is a Hubble (SHaO) pallet. One thing that showed up in those 5 night 2 am in the morning mount would disconnect. It would restart straight away if I got the port recognized. Turns out the fitting for the EQMOD cable for the mount was not firm even if the screws where. Two small slithers of a wall plug on the screws the whole thing is a tight as a drum and ran all night. Now who cant see the chicken running Bottom left cant miss it. Still cant get over the detail in the shot.

HFF. A large livestock market is held every Sunday in Kashgar, in Xinjiang in Western China. This is basically Central Asia…thé old Chinese Turkestan as it was historically known. The sheep with their long faces and dangling ears are quite pretty..the standard here. They also have very fat bottoms! May your Friday be frivolous in some little way, and your weekend quietly wonderful. Peace and love…Diana

Ponte de Dom Luis I built by the german architect Téophile Seyrig, who was an associate of Gustavo Eiffel. It was completed in 1886 and at that time the longest iron arch in the world with a span of 172 m.

Hallo zusammen, ich bin wieder da :) In den paar Wochen Auszeit habe ich nicht darauf verzichtet, Fotos zu machen, und werde einen Teil davon demnächst hier zeigen. In den nächsten Tagen werde ich mich auch ein wenig umschauen, um zu sehen, was ich alles verpasst habe. Bis bald, Jean-Paul
