Completely agree πβ€οΈπ! She was exceptional, and absolutely amazing person! Very sad news (and I'm glad she was able to tell people she hated Trump, Elon, etc,, more power to her!)

Little Egret (Egretta garzetta): This 65cm (26in) species of Egret is native to Europe, Africa, Asia and Australasia. It is resident in most of its range but some northern birds in Europe migrate south in winter. It has distinctive yellow feet. Spectacular photo taken by Galashevi Mari. #egret #bird

I didn't want to miss getting a nice image of one of my all-time favourite nebulae, the Rosetta nebula, before it was too late in the season and moved into the west. This image combines 15 x 60s exposures in each color channel, using broad-band filters B (blue), G (green) and R (red). I also tried to achieve natural colours (i.e. the colours we would see with our eyes). The data were taken at 10:30pm, Sunday 15 March 2021, from Siding Spring Observatory (near Coonabarabran, NSW, Australia). I used a ZWO ASI1600MM-Pro at -20C with the ZWO 2" BGR filters, my new 7x2" ZWO filter wheel, a Skywatcher Black Diamond 80mm with an Orion x0.8 focal reducer (effective focal length 480 mm, f/6). I used the ZWO ASIAir to control the camera, filter wheel, the mount (Skywatcher AZ-EQ6) and the guiding system (ASI120MM + Orion 50mm finderscope). The data have been processed with SIRIL, then converted into TIF using Fits Liberator using a logarithmic stretch, and finally combined in Photoshop to get the colours and the final details. Darks, flats and biases were used. I usually try to get at least 30-40 frames per filter, but as I said this was a compromise to get a nice colour shot of this nebula before it set, and hence I took 15 exposures per filter, and only 60 seconds each (and the highest gain in the camera, hence the noise that can be seen when zooming in). Otherwise I would have taken ~5 minute exposures with a lower gain and 40 of them. In any case, I hope you li...

What's large and blue and can wrap itself around an entire galaxy? A gravitational lens mirage. Pictured above, the gravity of a luminous red galaxy (LRG) has gravitationally distorted the light from a much more distant blue galaxy. More typically, such light bending results in two discernible images of the distant galaxy, but here the lens alignment is so precise that the background galaxy is distorted into a horseshoe -- a nearly complete ring. Since such a lensing effect was generally predicted in some detail by Albert Einstein over 70 years ago, rings like this are now known as Einstein Rings. Although LRG 3-757 was discovered in 2007 in data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), the image shown above is a follow-up observation taken with the Hubble Space Telescope's Wide Field Camera 3. Strong gravitational lenses like LRG 3-757 are more than oddities -- their multiple properties allow astronomers to determine the mass and dark matter content of the foreground galaxy lenses.
This isn't actually a blue ring around a distant star but instead the light from a blue galaxy directly behind a nearer red galaxy (centre) getting bent by the latter's massive gravity to form what *looks* like a ring but isn't & the universe is SO WEIRD anyway google "gravity lens" bc I need a nap.

I really fell in a rabbit hole playing with the shading options in #nomadsculpt
Still have so much to do with the legs, and the feet and the hands, oh well, gotta have some play time too.
