    … a good friend of mine has been immersing himself in astro photography the last year and is beginning to get some amazing results … and the quality of his images has been improving every time he goes out and shoots. This image is a shot of the Orion Nebula, the closest star forming region to us in our galaxy; it is in the constellation of Orion. The cloud is approximately 25 light years across and about 1300 light years from earth. The red in the cloud is from ionized hydrogen gases.

    This single image is from an extended shoot and is comprised of 300 individual images with a 15 second exposure per image or 75 minutes total. The camera is mounted on a star tracker which keeps the same focus point even though the earth is in constant rotational movement. He is currently processing an image that is comprised of 1000 15 second exposure photographs. The technique involves stacking the digital images one on top of the other and allowing a computer program put it all together. Very cool stuff.

    When I was working on the image for tonight, I noticed something that Rich had missed … interstellar travelers were in the image and they look strangely like that little creature that lives with me … wow! Great capture, Rich! Fun stuff.

    Another beautiful day just ended and methinks today will be a good one too. Focus on the important things … smile, breathe and remember how fortunate you are to be here … no guarantees, but at least for this moment, you are alive.

    Celebrate life … while you can.

    Thou great God, uphold me also in the lonely hour; and though I fall in the din and the dust of the world, resurrect Thou me. Even to the last, turn my hands to kindly service, and part my lips in gleeful songs of love. And in the softly falling dark, when all grows strangely still, may I be glad to have trod the sweet green earth, and known the tender touch of love. Yet may I depart with joy, as one who journeys home at evening.
    — Max Ehrmann

    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
