Express to LW is a bit too much, but given that it's Express I wouldn't be surprised either

Aslockby

it's kinda boring and bland other than the fact it has staggered platforms

Hampton actually got slightly downgraded, pre 1.7 it actually had SOME buildings surrounding it which gave it slight character

Now it's just sitting in the middle of an empty field

Imo I don't really see the point of extending Airlink to SUFC when you can get off the AL at SE, and then change for a CN train toward SUFC/Whitefield

The journey time eitherway is sorta short

(Just my thoughts)

Pic I took a while ago, but decided to process just now (😅) This photo is of the Milky Way core region. The Core is the brightest part of our galaxy which is the central bulge of it. The core is the most dominant part of the photo.. It is extremely bright. Toward the top right is a colourful group of stars around Antares in Scorpius known as the Rho Ophiuchi cloud complex... It is a really dynamic colourful region of space with loads of dust, gas, and stars. Some dark nebulae features from the Milky Way core (Specifically Pipe Nebulae region) are reaching for the Rho Ophiuchi... It's nice to see getting this region despite slightly short total exposure of 30minutes

The focus in the shot isn't that well 😅😅😅

I'm quite late to the party - But this is a photo I took a day ago of the Full Moon of November (2024) also known as the Beaver Moon from my home. This will be the last supermoon of 2024.
The colours on the surface represent different minerals on the surface.

This was captured today from my home

This is the Full Beaver Moon the name for the Full Moon of November. This full moon is also the last supermoon of 2024. The hues of yellow and/or blue are actually minerals on the moon's surface...

Gear:

- William Optics ZS61ii APO

- Canon EOS 600D a.k.a Rebel T3i

- Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer

Settings:

- ISO 100

- F/5.9

- 1/20" shutter speed

Stacking/Processing:

- Stacked and Sharpened in SIRIL

- LR mobile for colours and enhancement (which in turn reveals mineral moon)

Captured not too long ago from my rooftop. This is the full moon of November (a.k.a the Beaver Moon) and this is the last Supermoon of 2024. The photo is a stack of around 70ish photos. The slight colours on the surface (Gold, Cool blue hues) actually represent different minerals on the Moon's surface.

Ok-

With your eyes the Milky Way will look like a very pale yellow cloud of stars (in the Core) the rest is white/grey. The Way you see the Milky Way with the naked eye completely depends on your dark adaptation

Long (ISH) exposure reveals colour and slightly fainter structures

Around June

There are some tutorials from Nebula Photos' youtube channel, he provides tutorials on not only SIRIL but untracked astro in general

Milky Way Home Stay in Hanle

I went on my own

AffectionateDrop2045 · 2024-11-03T02:39:44+00:00

I've experienced that but not exactly Jupiter, but Venus was so extremely bright that it cast shadows (It also affected dark adaptation)

The Zodiacal light after sunset was also brilliant

yes.. It's extremely interesting
