The Bubble Nebula - NGC7635 - C11 Imaged in mono, LRGB mostly for stars, the rest is Ha/Oiii/Si. #Askar 71F, #Touptek ATR585M, #ZWO AM5n, #Stellavita #astrophotography #astro #astronomy #deepsky #nebula #galaxies #space #stars #nightsky #astro_photography #backyardastronomy #siril #mgerspix

The Bubble Nebula, catalog NGC7635 and C11, a faint nebula about 11,000 light years away with the appearance of a bubble cause by expanding gases from the central star. Imaged over several nights from Savannah, GA USA using monochrome imaging that isolates the RGB colors and different gas colors with filters. This uses about 12 hours total imaging across the 7 filters. The separate stacks of exposures get combined in post processing. This may get a future edit that could look very different.

#BlueSkyArtShow theme #Curve Musee d'Orsay, Paris Prints & more, also available in black & white: mgerspix.com/featured/mus... #photography #travelphotography #Paris #france #fineartamerica #omsystem #mgerspix

Photograph of the interior of the vaulted ceiling of Musée d'Orsay, on the Left Bank of the River Seine in Paris, France. The building is a former train station in the Beaux-Arts style, built between 1898 and 1900. The museum holds a variety of paintings, sculptures, furniture and photographs, concentrating on French art of the late 1800's to early 1900's. Unlike the massive Louvre just across the Seine, the d'Orsay can be viewed in hours, not days, making it a perfect stop for a morning or afternoon. This image was made in February 2016.

Photograph of the Gateway Arch in St. Louis, MO USA. This image was made in 2015 during a major ground renovation project that had temporarily removed much of the landscaping around the base. As a St. Louis native, I watched the Arch being built in the 1960's, and like many people who only visit their local monuments when they have guests in town, I have only been up in it twice!
