As I headed to bed late I finally spotted a rare and pretty atmospheric phenomenon, and I took a quick walk to get a clearer view of the sky. Here are some distant noctilucent clouds I managed to snap before they faded away. R6M2, handheld ISO 25600. #Photography #NoctilucentClouds

Some rare noctilucent clouds (high altitude ice crystals lit by the sun) are visible over the trees in the early morning sky glow.

Here at Denmark's latitude the sky doesn't get fully dark at night, and actual sunrise is still about two hours away.

While they were feeding the polar bears for us to photograph at #SkandinaviskDyrepark, Red Kites (Milvus milvus) showed up and sometimes got fairly close to us. I often see raptors fly near where I live; not that close I can identify them though. #Photography #NaturePhotography #Birds #Raptors

A red kite (milvus milvus) with its wings spread as it is floating on the air; it is looking to steal some scraps of food from the polar bears that are being fed.

Shot from directly underneath against a pale blue sky at 400mm on a full frame camera.

Having these birds fly overhead like this and drifting on the air it is clear where they got their English name from.

Yesterday there was a #Photography event in #SkandinaviskDyrepark (nearby for me in Denmark). Here some shots of the eagles: they aren't allowed to have European Sea Eagles by law, so they have "representative" Steller's Sea Eagles instead. Amazing creatures! #NaturePhotography #Birds #Raptors

A Steller's Sea Eagle (Haliaeetus pelagicus) perched atop a dead tree trunk. The eagle is looking left out of frame.

The eagle's head, body and parts of the wings are covered in brown feathers, with white feathers on the shoulders, legs and tail. The sharp beak and talons are a vivid yellow-orange colour.

#SkandinaviskDyrepark has two male eagles, named Dumbledore and Gandalf. They are not part of any breeding program. Their aviary measures 60x60x12 metres where they can fly at will, and they aren't trained or handled by people.

A Steller's Sea Eagle (Haliaeetus pelagicus) perched atop a dead tree trunk. One of the bits of rope the park guides use to get them to hunt their feed (and let the public take their pictures) sits atop of the large tree trunk. The eagle is looking right out of frame, no longer interested in the rope.

Not long ago got a 100-400 and 1.4x extender off MPB. Was disappointed how little it did for zooming to the moon on my R6M2. I ended up doing a quick camera sensor comparison while waiting for a dark sky. In short: don't use full frame sensors for astro if you like zooming in. :) #astrophotography

Ignore any differences in the shade of the moon, this is about size.

The same 30th March 2026 full moon shot on 3 different cameras (2x APS-C, 1x Full Frame) without scaling the moon, which is kept at 1:1 pixels. It becomes pretty clear that full frame gives only 20% of the vertical pixels with this 560mm, while APS-C gives you 33%.

Not as clear (but hopefully this picture shows that) is how many more effective pixels a smaller sensor gives you when comparing an ancient 7D to a much newer R6M2.

Not represented here is the light gathering and noise performance in which the R6 would win, the M6 gets a solid second spot, and the 7D is far behind. That doesn't matter for moonshots however, and the M6M2/90D is pretty good for astro.

My first decent #astrophotography image. Soul Nebula, Heart Nebula and Fish Nebula in visible light under a Bortle 4 sky, likely one of the last chances of an image until September as dark nights return then. Took effort to learn how to target on a dumb star tracker! More details in the alt text.

Soul Nebula (IC 1848 / SH 2-199 / LBN 667), Heart Nebula (IC 1805 / SH 2-190 / LBN 654) and Fish Nebula (IC 1795 / LBN 645). Approximately 3 hours of 30 seconds visible light exposures under a Bortle 4 sky. Canon M6M2 + EF 70-200 2.8L IS USM at f/4 + Star Adventurer 2i tracker driven by a mini-PC with N.I.N.A. for capture automation and plate solving to make it possible to target anything deep sky at all with this rather basic setup.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Coots&Moorhens, and the Alternative is #Pigeons. Coots I have! Here are some coots from the canal that was next to our office at the time. One I have shared before, but now a re-edit done. Moorhens are *my* nemesis, never been able to capture these.

A coot parent and 3 young cootlings float on the water in a canal. Some greenery reflects in the ripples on the water.

Coot parents and their 3 young cootlings on their nest. One parent is sitting on the nest, the other is floating next to it. The chicks were probably just being fed, as they are looking at their parents.

Additional info: the nest is (not visible) located next to a quay, and they weren't very good nest builders as we've seen their nest float down the canal a few times over the years; likely due to changes in the water level in the canal.

A single young cootling floating in a calm canal with somewhat transparent water. The cootling is still covered in down, with gray on the body and yellow on the neck. The head is mostly red due to visible skin and a red bill. The cootling causes some light outward growing ripples on the water. The frame is somewhat lined with some twigs and branches around the cootling.
