Funny night of imaging. Grabbed some data for an ongoing project after the clouds cleared and saw Orion just hanging out next to this fir tree (well, 1375 ly behind it).

Dodged a bunch of branches during data collection, but got about a half of hour of descent light on it anyway.

Hubble still got our back whenever we feel overwhelmed! 🔭

This is the NGC-2442 galaxy (~50 million light years away), as seen by Hubble in 2021.

To be honest, I think that this is one of my best processed Hubble image to this day 😊

HD: flic.kr/p/2qGugBC
A spiral galaxy with two arms: one stretching to the top right of the image, the second to the bottom left. The arms appear orange/red. The centre is really bright. A lot of background galaxies can be spotted everywhere, with one of them appearing like a ghost behind the main galaxy of this image!

I've been back many times but this was the first time (2008) I saw the iconic scene of Mount Shuksan reflected in Picture Lake in Washington State. I don't photograph it now usually but I will stop and admire the view while eating lunch.

Mount Shuksan's peak reflecting in picture lake during a fall day with a blue sky and a trace of snow around the trees at the edges of the lake.

We can all use a little more beauty and light right now. This is sunrise over Glacier National Park on 16 August 2024

For my friends in the USA: I like to think the M16 nebula could be a metaphor for the true fabric of the USA. M16 is a large nebula in the shape of a formidable Eagle - at its heart are the famous Pillars of Creation.
Image is 5 hours, (60x5mins stack) on a 130mm refractor, processed in Pixinsight.

Mule Deer - spent this last weekend in Central Oregon where it was very cold. The morning of this shot it was 14F and I think I was getting the “what are YOU doing out here!?” look! More in the thread below… #photography #wildlife #wildlifephotography #nature #naturephotography #mammals

A red fox sits in the snow still on the ground in the Annapolis Valley of Nova Scotia, after a long hard winter. Ears and eyes alert, its bushy tail outstretched, it waits and watches for its next meal.

Matterhorn ⛰️
This photo by Matteo Catanese shows the majestic mountain peak of the Matterhorn (Cervino), which is reflected in the tranquil Goillet Lake at sunrise, surrounded by tall trees under a bright blue sky. The Matterhorn is a 4,478 metres (14,692 ft) mountain of the Alps, straddling the main watershed and border between Italy and Switzerland.

Coastal Oregon today
the searing curve of beach far below, blazing, glazed with surf and above a forgiving blue sky, framed by fir trees to left and right steep spinning curve of slope looking right down from the trail, the calm green entanglement of ground cover imbued with a sense of entropy and vertigo... while the deeper blue of sea does a cartwheel into the sky the glittering expanse of the sun in the sea like the impressionistic armor of a drowned warrior, with impassive pockmarked rocks in the foreground white sea wash and wrack indelible against the blue the sea beyond, foam that seems to form messages driven by the wind

White-tailed deer blep. It must be rough finding food at this time of year, especially with snow on the ground.
A white-tailed deer bent over toward the ground with its tongue sticking out. There is dry vegetation in scene and the ground is snow covered.

I didn’t want to get anyone’s hopes up until I had her in my hands, but look who made it to us after all.

Her new name is going to be Winter, in honor of how frickin’ cold it is, and a reminder that it’s always coldest just before a season of beautiful rebirth.

This image was captured from a Bell 407 helicopter during a flight to service “honey pots” located in the cols between the peaks.

Pine trees edge the flat waters of a lake. In the distance, mists swirl and reveal layers of mountains broding over the scene.

I know this sentiment is well shared, but every once in a while I think about how beautifully powerful and inspiring these paintings are.
