 <description>&#60;img src = "http://astronomy.fm/aapod/images/t/t-2012-03-06-1331003444.jpg"> <![CDATA[The celestial equator is a great circle on the imaginary celestial sphere, in the same plane as the Earth's equator. In other words, it is a projection of the terrestrial equator out into space.[1] As a result of the Earth's axial tilt, the celestial equator is inclined by 23.4° with respect to the ecliptic plane.

<title>Iridium 50 Flare at Pyxis</title>
 <description>&#60;img src = "http://astronomy.fm/aapod/images/t/t-2012-01-29-1327880893.jpg"> <![CDATA[The Iridium 50 satellite produces a -7 magnitude flare in the constellation Pyxis. The bright star near the flare is gamma pyxis.

I used calsky to predict the flare. Then I used stellarium to locate the position of the flare. I took several exposures to center the camera with a 135mm lens in the place where the flare was going to happen. Then it was just a matter of waiting and taking the shot.

Satellite data:
Flare angle=0.01° Distance=0.4 km Satellite above: longitude=51.0°W  latitude=-35.3°  height above Earth=792.0 km  distance to satellite=1075.9 km Altitude of Sun=-19.8°

<title>Simeis 147 and surroundings</title>
 <description>&#60;img src = "http://astronomy.fm/aapod/images/t/t-2011-12-10-1323497116.jpg"> <![CDATA[Simeis 147, a 40,000 years old supernova remnant in the constellations of Taurus and Auriga, also known as Sharpless 2-240, is an object typically photographed with narrowband filters, because under visible light it just appears too "poor" in comparison, mainly due to the fact that this object is extremely faint when imaged through RGB filters - and not too bright either when using narroband filters either - and the stars usually dominate the field. Narrowband data however deprives us from viewing the many things happening around it.

Most narrowband+broadband compositions I've seen (usually H-Alpha + RGB or H-Alpha + LRGB) haven't been able to "fix" that, so I decided to give it a try, also expanding the typical already-wide field of view, to hopefully capture and visually document more of what's around.]]></description>
