While enjoying the beautiful sunset colours and waiting for homing crows to enter my field of view I caught one just in time occulting the very bright venus.
La nitidez en la fotografía es fundamental para que se pueda apreciar la belleza de la imagen en todo su esplendor. Esta imagen cumple y genera el impacto que te invita a pensar en la profunidad del universo finito.
Hello! All the photos are amazing, Great work!. I just wanted to clarify, for the apenine mountains photo description. It’s “Colombia”, not Columbia… There’s a Big difference! One is a country, the other a university. Cheers a good luck to everyone!
I’m so proud for his kind energy to represent my Country in this competition D Jiwaji. Well done, excellent. I will vote for you. The images itself looks quite natural to normal naked eye sighting .
The Dark Wolf Nebula 228 as seen by Simon from New Zealand. Awesome!
Equipment Used: Stellarvue SV80ST + ASI1600 + AP1200GT

Some of these images are not even southern hemisphere targets
As the celestial north and south don’t align with the geographic north and south, due to the axial tilt of the earth, some leeway is allowed.
Sagittarius !
Splendid photo from Gabriel of Moon close up image has good definition and very well focused.
