We are in for a few weeks of astronomy images. This is a zoom in/zoom out image of NGC6914, a reflection nebula in Cygnus and the only bit of blue in a sea of red as I call it. The … Continue reading
Another high-speed-flash image taken at 1/100,000th of a second (10-microseconds). This is another double water-drop collision taking place under a soap bubble covering a drinking glass. The 10-microsecond light pulse (150-Joules in energy) was taken using 3 Xenon flashguns developed … Continue reading
This is the star field I imaged in Ursa Major last night with the 200mm lenses. It is nothing like it appears on the Sky6 which is a pity.
This week we feature a macrophoto of a Morpho Rhetenor butterfly. The irridescent blue colour is not due to pigment, but it is due to STRUCTURE. Acting like a diffraction grating (or a photonic crystal) it is the complex shape … Continue reading
Last week we showed Jupiter and Mercury taken from Whitemoor Pond. This week Jupiter, Venus and Mercury all feature in this week’s Picture of the Week. Image captured using a Canon 5D MkII DSLR with a 15mm Canon fisheye lens … Continue reading
Another astronomical image this week. This time we have Jupiter and beautiful red Mercury captured over at Whitemoor Pond, the New Forest.
A high-speed image features this week. Here we have 3 separate images of a double waterdrop collision taking place underneath a bursting soap-bubble. I have used different coloured filters in front of the high-speed flash units. The HSF units are … Continue reading
This week we feature another deep-sky image. This time it is the Gamma Cass region featuring the beautiful Gamma Cass nebulosity. This is a very deep image taken using the 200mm lenses, the 2600MC Pro CMOS cameras and UV/IR cut … Continue reading
This week’s POW featured as an EPOD (Earth Science Picture of the Day). Here we see a macrophoto of a Sunflower seed-head on the left, and on the right we see a simulation of the seed-head produced using the Mathcad … Continue reading
This week we feature a selection of 3D prints from the old (and now retired) ANET A6 which performed superbly for many years.
