Eclipse
Today there was a partial solar eclipse visible in mid to eastern europe.
In Germany we could see how the moon covers between 20 and 30% of the sun

Wow! Has it been better than two weeks since I posted? Sometimes I have a tough time getting motivated to get out in the summer and shoot. Mornings are too early, evenings are too late, and the air tends to get hazy. Yeah, excuses, excuses, I know. I've also been a bit busy with a couple projects. I did get around to doing some culling of duds recently and came across this frame from way back in January that I like better now than I did then. This is either Miss Liberty or Guardian, one of the two bald eagles followed by the Friends of the Redding Eagles at Turtle Bay in Redding California way back in January when they were very busy nest building. The bird flew by me carrying a piece of nesting material, dropped it, and rapidly turned around, and only 25 or 30 feet from me slammed in to a dead branch on a pine tree, snapping it off with a loud crack, and took it on to the nest. There was no way to get a shot of the actual moment the bird grabbed the branch but it was really cool to witness !
I cut one wing off due to the bird's quick course change, which is why I didn't originally care for it but it grew on me once I just cropped tighter to bring more focus to just how intense these critters look straight on (and the mid-morning wasn't too shabby )
I have some rental gear showing up later in the week so I guess I better drop the excuses and get out and do some shooting!

Today I got something a bit different for you. NGC 2070 or the Tarantula nebula is an emission nebula region in the Large Magellanic Cloud.
An Object I never could spot from my location in Germany.
So I have to use data from a telescope in Chile and process those myself.
Yeah not the same as capturing the object myself but an option for those objects out of reach for the moment.
R/G/B/L each 4 x 600s so 160 minutes of exposure in total
