Yesterday night, I went out to photograph the sky again.. The sky was absolutely fabulous; you could see everything! Stars of magnitude 6.3 showed up quite easily at the naked eye. the atmosphere was decently stable as well.. However, it was extremely windy as well. So I didn't risk taking any pictures :( I'll try again next weekend, probably.
Right now I have one 45-minute shot of M31 in the roll of 120 film (6cm x 6cm), so that means I still have arround 12 photos to shoot before sending the film to processing :P
Taking pictures at this rate means I'll have this roll finished in about 4 to 6 sessions.. Which hints at about one month time from now to have the results digitized :)

IC1318
Another photo was put online, this time it is IC 1318, a Nebula in Cygnus.
Not as good as my last M8+M20 nebulas, this one needs longer exposure time..
There was not much processing applied to it, just adjusted the levels a bit, and down-sized it so it would look nicer, with less noise :)

M8 + M20
This weekend, under the worst windy conditions I ever decided to take pictures in, produced my best image so far. A shot at Messier objects M8 (Lagoon Nebula) and M20 (Trifid Nebula).
It was difficult to get the blue color to show up.. It still isn't as good as I would like, but..

Blog Bang!
....And a rather Big Bang was heard, somewhere in the vicinity of Betelgeuse..
Actually that "bang" is thought to have come from 527 light-years in the direction of Earth.. Anyway, that bang created, among many other uninteresting things, this blog!
Hence, this blog is a result of a sound. It's true! I can explain it.. You see there are these Strings, you know, and.. and.. Well, it's a theory, you see, but it actually works, and creates.. ..blogs!..
Well, enough about that, let's talk about me!
I'm this blog's writer! Its creator! I am, therefore, a sound! Can't you hear me? Didn't you hear my "Bang"? Strange, Earthlings seem to hear worse than my friends at Betelgeuse System..
Right! About this blog: This is the place where I intend to share what I do in my small astronomical hobby. I plan on writing here experiments I make, experineces I have, stuff I buy, stuff I keep, stuff I make up, mistakes, wonders, images, quasi-random agglomerates of letters, and other mental outbursts I think appropriately related to this topic :) I'm sorry, I don't plan on posting news articles, like space news and such.. This is just a place for my view about my stuff. There's no space here for rigorous and unbiased journalism! That's too easy to do these days!
So I wish you a pleasent Bang hearing, as it might be possible that each post makes a small "Bang". Remember where you can hear them! it's just 527 light-year away from Betelgeuse, roughly on the surface of a strange looking blueish-green camelion-skin planet, that might slowly be turning grey. But it might be easy if you subscribe to the RSS feed, as that usually amplifies bang-type sounds.
