2014: un anno in foto!!
youtu.be/JL8PBe6XUzc?list=PL748B148C180BB774 I mesi più belli? Febbraio ed agosto senza ombra di dubbio! A febbraio la grandissima soddisfazione per il dieci e lode al diploma della mia allieva Giulia, terminato in una vera apoteosi con il Concerto per pianoforte ed orchestra op.25 in Sol minore di Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy, nel quale io l'ho accompagnata, facendo la parte dell'orchestra con il secondo pianoforte. E' stata un'esecuzione veramente trascinante a detta di tutti e si è conclu…

So you want to -- get a better shot of the Sun
NASA's images of the sun show so much more detail & texture -- and they can see those not only because they have million dollar equipment and put it into space. These details also are visible to mere mortals -- once you focus onto very narrow bands of light with appropriate filters & technique.

So you want to -- get a shot of the Sun or Eclipse
Of all the astronomical phenomena, a TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE surely has to be the scariest of all to ancient people. What horrible powers must be at work when they can take away our sunlight. Of course today's explanation of standing in the moon's shadow is far less threatening (and not as imaginative as a dragon swalling the sun), solar eclipses still remain especially fascinating.

So you want to -- get ready for FITS
A standardized image format is something most users take for granted -- JPG, GIF, PNG and even TIFF are household names when it comes to (web)-images & editing. If you use a dSLR, you have gotten used to adding a tool or two, to process the Nikon or Canon RAW formats. With the astronomy cameras, the formats & necessary conversions become a real mess -- especially if you use a one-shot color "OSC" camera.

So you want to -- capture a new SUPERNOVA
Supernovae are among the most powerful events in our universe and they emit unimaginable amounts of energy. And long long time ago, in a galaxy far far away that has happened but it took 11.5 million years and only now does this energy reach us, some of it visible to our eyes. Look up at the sky & search for the M82 "Cigar Galaxy" -- it will be over in a few weeks.

Winter Greetings
Even as parts of Europe remain locked in abnormal warmth in spite of the calendar’s having been turned to a fresh new year—Muscovites might be forgiven for wondering if the calendar forgot winter—parts of North America have experienced cold that has not been witnessed for almost 20 years in some places. An anonymous 16th Century writer once observed: This winter’s weather it waxeth cold, And frost it freezeth on every hill, And Boreas blows his blast so bold That all our cattle are li…
