June's full moon has been lighting up the night sky and it was the lowest full moon of the year, staying unusually close to the horizon.

Een adembenemende blik op onze maan! De contrasten tussen licht en schaduw onthullen de indrukwekkende kraters en het mysterieuze oppervlak. ✨

Wist je dat de maan altijd dezelfde kant naar de aarde gericht houdt? Dat betekent dat we de "achterkant" van de maan pas ontdekten dankzij ruimtevaart! 🚀

💬 Wat fascineert jou het meest aan de maan? Heb je hem ooit door een telescoop bekeken? Deel je gedachten in de reacties! 👇

“Afterlight” – NGC 3521 with Asteroid (47050) 1998 HN20 and Supernova SN2024aecx.

This image presents a view of NGC 3521, a flocculent spiral galaxy in the constellation Leo, but with two unique elements that add potential educational value:

1. Supernova SN 2024aecx, a recent event, is visibly embedded within the galaxy’s core region.

2. Asteroid (47050) 1998 HN20, a main-belt asteroid, was captured in 9 stacked frames as it moved across the field, juxtaposing a solar system body against the backdrop of an extragalactic scene.

The asteroid’s subtle shift and the supernova’s crisp, star-like signature offer an unusual opportunity to illustrate the layered nature of astrophotography, where phenomena from vastly different scales and distances appear in the same field of view.

This contrast could serve as a powerful visual hook to discuss several concepts:

- The difference between galactic and solar system scales
- Stellar death and supernova classification
- Asteroid tracking and movement detection
- Galaxy morphology in flocculent spirals

The title Afterlight was chosen as a poetic reference to the lingering light of a star after its death, captured here as Supernova SN 2024aecx. It symbolises the final brilliance a star emits before fading, and serves as a visual metaphor for the fleeting, yet impactful, echoes of cosmic events.

3h of total exposure, but due to the lack of guiding, I only took 50% of the images. Darks, Bias and Flats were used. Stacked in Siril and edited in Siril and Photoshop.

I really like the purple and blueish color.

Cave Nebula SH2-155 C9

The Cave Nebula is an Emission Nebula in the constellation of Cepheus. It is about 2,400 light-years away from Earth (Wikipedia).

Taken over 3 nights here in the UK

My latest edit with the new Siril Version and some python scripts. Worked like a charme. I love how the dark nebulas are popping :)

Der Wasserturm in Ginnick, einem Ortsteil der Gemeinde Vettweiß im Kreis Düren, wurde 1955 erbaut und steht auf dem höchsten Punkt der Gemeinde, dem Sandberg, auf 231 Metern über Normalhöhennull. Mit einem Speichervolumen von 400 Kubikmetern versorgte er die Region mit Trinkwasser und wurde vom Wasserleitungszweckverband der Neffeltalgemeinden betrieben .

Der Turm befindet sich am Rande des Ginnicker Waldes und grenzt an das Naturschutzgebiet „Ginnicker Bruch“. Direkt neben dem Turm befindet sich der Sportplatz. In den vergangenen Jahren fanden hier Open-Air-Festivals statt .

Seit 2022 ist der Wasserturm Teil eines Naturschutzprojekts der Stiftung Umwelt- und Naturschutz Schmittmann. Auf dem Gelände wurden verschiedene Lebensräume wie Streuobstwiesen, Insektenhotels und Tümpel angelegt, um die lokale Biodiversität zu fördern und Umweltbildung zu ermöglichen .
NABU Kreisverband Düren e.V.

Heute ist der Wasserturm ein markantes Wahrzeichen von Ginnick und ein Symbol für den Übergang von der Wasserversorgung zur ökologischen Nutzung des Geländes.
