After a few days away with work for a conference/meeting I’m now back home and absolutely exhausted. Yes, I’m old 😁

Anyway here’s our home galaxy over the river Spey in the beautiful Scottish Highlands.

Goodnight #bluesky

I captured the Andromeda Galaxy with an 8-hour integration time using my Askar FRA500 telescope, ASI2600MC Duo camera, and ZWO AM5N mount.

The clouds were so close, you could almost reach out and touch them. The view from John Ford Point in Monument Valley.

When I visit a place famous in the Ancient World I try to visualize what it was like when the place made a name for itself. In Alexandria I visited the site of the Pharos, the great lighthouse. The Qaitbay fort was built over the stump of the fallen tower, here it is in the context of what was.
This photo was made in Alexandria in 2010, when I returned home I added a digital reconstruction of the great Pharos lighthouse as it would have appeared from that angle. I became interested in the Ancient World from my work on the PBS TV show Cosmos. Later I compiled visual references for the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Much later I used these references to create digital models of these structures. This was later matched to a viewpoint I sought out when I visited Alexandria for the 2010 International Planetarium Society convention. The lighthouse of Alexandria was one of the 7 Wonders of the Ancient World. From about the 280s BC it weathered the elements and conquests around it until an earthquake in 796 caused major cracks. In 951 and especially 956 the top floor sustained major quake damage and a domed Mosque replaced the top story. Abu el-Balawi (name abbreviated) visited the deteriorating Pharos in 1166 and left our most detailed description of the building, including numerous measurements. A major 1303 quake brought down the second story and a side of the first story, with the building surviving well enough in 1326 for the traveller Ibn Battutain to find the interior still accessible. In his 1349 revisit he found the interior too ruined to enter. A 1375 quake toppled the remaining first story, scattering its stone blocks into the harbor in a sideways collapse. The German scholar Herman Thiersch made a detailed study of the Pharos and in 1909 published a reconstruction of the building whose general form, basically holds up today. The Pharos was approximately 110 meters, or about 360 feet tall, comparable to a Saturn V Apollo rocket stack. This tower made such an impression that it had many prolonged echoes in architecture over the centuries, beginning with the form of the shape of minarets in regional Mosques. To this day lighthouses generally have an octagonal upper story as a reference to that in the lighthouse of Alexandria.

The (nearly) full Moon and the early morning clouds.
This photograph from Joshua Tree, California was built from two exposures, one for the clouds and one that barely shows the Lunar Maria splotches.
