Also known as the Butterfly Nebula, but a larger telescope than the 5" refractor used to capture this image is needed to show the pattern clearly; it shows up well in Hubble images. In this image, the nebula looks more like a bug squashed on a car windshield. Seven minutes after Third Contact651 viewsC3 + 7:01 Markarian's Chain650 viewsPart of Markarian's Chain, a group of galaxies in the Virgo Cluster. Visible in the photo are NGCs 4477, 4473, 4461, 4458, 4438 and 4435. Not visible are M84 and M86, which are out of the frame to the right - my telescope's field of view is not big enough to capture them all. NGC 6520 and Barnard 86648 viewsNGC 6520 is an open cluster in the constellation Sagittarius, consisting of about 25 stars of magnitude 9-12. At its western edge (to the right in this image) lies the dark nebula Barnard 86 (B86). Post-Totality 4645 viewsAt this point I ran out of film, so I didn't make it to Fourth Contact with the post-totality images. NGC 6888 - The Crescent Nebula645 viewsAn emission nebula in the constellation Cygnus, about 5000 light-years away from Earth; formed by the fast stellar wind from the Wolf-Rayet star WR 136 colliding with and energizing slower-moving matter ejected by the star when it became a red giant around 250,000 to 400,000 years ago. IC4603 - Core of the Rho Ophiuchi Complex644 viewsThis blue reflection nebula glows by the light of the 7.9 magnitude star SAO184376 in the center. Sharpless2-136, the Ghost Nebula644 viewsReflection nebula in Cepheus. 1470 light-years distant, near the cluster NGC 7023. 28 Minutes after Third Contact641 viewsC3 + 28:08 First Contact plus ~30 minutes639 viewsAbout halfway through pre-totality. M11 - The Wild Duck Cluster638 viewsOne of the richest, most compact and most massive open clusters known; estimates range from 3,700 to 11,000 solar masses. Radius 95 light-years. 6,120 light-years away, in the constellation Scutum. Supposedly the cluster resembles a flying flock of ducks, although as far as I can tell it could just as well be geese, crows or magpies. Black Drop Effect637 viewsFirst Contact plus 11 minutes. Venus appears to be glued to the rim of the Sun's disk. This is known as the "Black Drop Effect." 257 files on 22 page(s) 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 - 22 Debug Info  Debug Output: show / hide Select All USER: ------------------ Array ( [ID] => a487f9bd43f3f7ab7bb0dfcefc198e4a [am] => 1 [liv] => Array ( [0] => 1114 ) ) ========================== USER DATA: ------------------ Array ( [user_id] => 0 [user_name] => Guest [groups] => Array ( [0] => 3 ) [group_quota] => 0 [can_rate_pictures] => 1 [can_send_ecards] => 0 [can_post_comments] => 0 [can_upload_pictures] => 0 [can_create_albums] => 0 [pub_upl_need_approval] => 1 [priv_upl_need_approval] => 1 [access_level] => 3 [disk_max] => 0 [disk_min] => 0 [has_admin_access] => 0 [group_name] => Guests [can_create_public_albums] => 0 [can_see_all_albums] => 0 [group_id] => 3 [allowed_albums] => Array ( ) ) ========================== Queries: ------------------ Array ( [0] => SELECT name, value FROM cm_config [include/init.inc.php:177] (0.36 ms) [1] => SELECT * FROM cm_plugins ORDER BY priority [include/plugin_api.inc.php:48] (0.23 ms) [2] => SELECT user_id, time FROM `i5493328_cm1`.cm_sessions WHERE session_id = '654aab7b234894b0bd1f6410e5998670' [bridge/coppermine.inc.php:241] (0.24 ms) [3] => SELECT MAX(group_quota) AS disk_max, MIN(group_quota) AS disk_min, MAX(can_rate_pictures) AS can_rate_pictures, MAX(can_send_ecards) AS can_send_ecards, MAX(can_post_comments) AS can_post_comments, MAX(can_upload_pictures) AS can_upload_pictures, MAX(can_create_albums) AS can_create_albums, MAX(has_admin_access) AS has_admin_access, MAX(access_level) AS access_level, MIN(pub_upl_need_approval) AS pub_upl_need_approval, MIN( priv_upl_need_approval) AS priv_upl_need_approval FROM cm_usergroups WHERE group_id in (3) [bridge/udb_base.inc.php:350] (0.2 ms) [4] => SELECT group_name FROM cm_usergroups WHERE group_id= 3 [bridge/udb_base.inc.php:362] (0.18 ms) [5] => SELECT COUNT(*) FROM cm_categorymap WHERE group_id in (3) [bridge/udb_base.inc.php:375] (0.14 ms) [6] => SELECT aid FROM cm_albums WHERE moderator_group IN (3) [include/init.inc.php:271] (0.13 ms) [7] => SELECT lang_id FROM cm_languages WHERE enabled='YES' [include/init.inc.php:334] (0.21 ms) [8] => DELETE FROM cm_banned WHERE expiry < '2026-04-30 17:16:48' [include/init.inc.php:448] (1.25 ms) [9] => SELECT null FROM cm_banned WHERE ('216.73.217.30' LIKE ip_addr OR '' LIKE ip_addr ) AND brute_force=0 LIMIT 1 [include/init.inc.php:464] (0.54 ms) [10] => SELECT aid FROM cm_albums WHERE (1 AND visibility != 0 AND visibility != 10000 AND visibility NOT IN (3)) [include/functions.inc.php:1110] (0.6 ms) [11] => SELECT name FROM cm_categories WHERE cid = 2 [thumbnails.php:157] (0.19 ms) [12] => SELECT rgt, lft, depth FROM cm_categories WHERE cid = 2 LIMIT 1 [include/functions.inc.php:44] (0.18 ms) [13] => SELECT cid FROM cm_categories WHERE lft BETWEEN 3 AND 8 [include/functions.inc.php:49] (0.19 ms) [14] => SELECT keyword FROM cm_albums WHERE category IN (2, 12, 13) [include/functions.inc.php:57] (0.2 ms) [15] => SELECT p.cid, p.name FROM cm_categories AS c, cm_categories AS p WHERE c.lft BETWEEN p.lft AND p.rgt AND c.cid = 2 ORDER BY p.lft [include/functions.inc.php:2940] (0.13 ms) [16] => SELECT COUNT(*) FROM cm_pictures AS r INNER JOIN cm_albums AS a ON a.aid = r.aid INNER JOIN cm_categories AS c2 ON c2.cid = category WHERE (c2.lft BETWEEN 3 AND 8) AND (1 OR keywords like '%27telp%' OR keywords like '%27telp%' OR keywords like '%27telp%' OR keywords like '%27telp%') AND r.aid NOT IN (12, 51) AND approved = 'YES' AND hits > 0 [include/functions.inc.php:1717] (0.2 ms) [17] => SELECT r.pid, r.aid, filepath, filename, url_prefix, pwidth, pheight, filesize, ctime, r.title, r.keywords, r.votes, pic_rating, hits, caption, r.owner_id, user1, user2, user3, user4 FROM cm_pictures AS r INNER JOIN cm_albums AS a ON a.aid = r.aid INNER JOIN cm_categories AS c2 ON c2.cid = category WHERE (c2.lft BETWEEN 3 AND 8) AND (1 OR keywords like '%27telp%' OR keywords like '%27telp%' OR keywords like '%27telp%' OR keywords like '%27telp%') AND r.aid NOT IN (12, 51) AND approved = 'YES' AND hits > 0 ORDER BY hits DESC, pid ASC LIMIT 24 ,12 [include/functions.inc.php:1734] (10.57 ms) [18] => SELECT extension, mime, content, player FROM cm_filetypes [include/functions.inc.php:5952] (0.57 ms) ) ========================== GET : ------------------ Array ( [album] => topn [cat] => 2 [page] => 3 ) ========================== POST : ------------------ Array ( ) ========================== COOKIE : ------------------ Array ( [a520716e4e1a802c3b699f97dd5ac36c] => a8fbc86493037bb16147afcd238cedad [cpg16x_data] => YTozOntzOjI6IklEIjtzOjMyOiJhNDg3ZjliZDQzZjNmN2FiN2JiMGRmY2VmYzE5OGU0YSI7czoyOiJhbSI7aToxO3M6MzoibGl2IjthOjE6e2k6MDtzOjQ6IjExMTQiO319 ) ==========================
