Astronomy Picture of the Day [APOD] for 23rd December 2008

Posted by Greg Parker in APOD

We’re on a roll!!  The Parker/Carboni double-team have just got the Astronomy Picture of the Day for 23rd December 2008 with our Coathanger cluster image :)   This one is a personal favourite of mine and was my desktop for many months.  Look down the postings and you will see our last APOD was just five days ago – so although 2008 has been very lean on APODs for us – we seem to be leaving the year on a high.

    congratulations Noel and Greg!
    its really fantastic.
    I watched it for 1 hour on apod page.
    its very beautyful.
    I have a question.
    how much is your sky dark?
    Noel have said in his website that he has a light polluted sky but his images are really beautyful. how do you take images like those in your website Noel?
    are u sure that your sky is light polluted? :D
    or maybe you use a LP filter.

    regards.

    My sky is not particularly dark. On a “good” night I can see all the stars in Ursa Minor, on a poor night I can only make out Polaris. Most nights it lies somewhere in between the two.
