Totality 3698 viewsA longer exposure shows up the corona somewhat better. We are now approaching the end of totality.

Sharpless2-9 - Emission nebula in Scorpius698 viewsThere is also an area of reflection nebula (blue) around the star Sigma Scorpii, but the processing of this version doesn't reveal it very well. The globular cluster M4 is also in the field of view.

First Contact plus 28 minutes697 viewsVenus is well on its way across the Sun's disk.
|
|

M64 - the Black-eye Galaxy697 viewsA relatively isolated spiral galaxy 17 million light-years away in the northern constellation Coma Berenices. A dark band of absorbing dust partially in front of its bright nucleus inspires its "Black Eye" nickname.

IC2118, the Witch Hunt Nebula697 viewsFaint reflection nebula in Eridanus, usually known as the Witch Head Nebula, but it doesn't look much like a witch's head in this view, shot with an IDAS NBZ nebula enhancement filter, so maybe this version is best titled the "Witch Hunt Nebula." About 900 light-years away; illuminated by the nearby supergiant blue-white star Rigel in Orion.

NGC7000 - The North American Nebula696 viewsNarrowband image of an H-II emission nebula in the constellation Cygnus; only part of the nebula is visible since it is too large to fit entirely in the field of view of the telescope. 2,590 light-years distant and 90 light-years across.
|
|

Second Contact695 viewsFirst contact plus 16 minutes - Venus has now "detached" itself from the Sun's rim and is heading inward.
|
|

Gone695 viewsThe Sun has set. The flat and featureless terrain of the Outback stretches far away.
|
|

Pre-Totality 3695 viewsTo feel creep up the curving east
The earthy chill of dusk and slow
Upon those under lands the vast
And ever climbing shadow grow
|
|

Sharpless2-275 - The Rosette Nebula695 viewsHII region in the constellation Monoceros; distance 5,200 light-years from Earth. Open cluster NGC2244, in the doughnut hole, provides the energy that makes the nebula glow.
|
|

M20 - the Trifid Nebula (narrowband)695 viewsAn emission/reflection nebula in Sagittarius. About 4100 light-years from Earth.
|
|

Messier 67 - Open cluster in Cancer695 viewsSometimes called King Cobra or Golden Eye Cluster. Distance 2600-2900 light-years. Estimated age 3.2 to 5 billion years.
