The summer Milky Way in Cygnus, with the Summer Triangle stars rising over the Hoodoos formations on Highway 10 near Drumheller, Alberta. A low-level aurora display tints the sky magenta and blue at left, making for an unusually colourful sky. The bright stars are: Vega is at top, Deneb at centre and Altair at bottom right.

A selfie of me observing Mars, the bright object at top, in Taurus, on a mild winter night from home on December 9, 2022. Mars was then two days past opposition and at its brightest. The waning gibbous Moon is the bright glow at left, lighting the sky blue and the snowy landscape below with sparkling moonlight. Orion is rising behind me, while Gemini is at far left.

$The conjunction of the waxing 4-day-old crescent Moon below the Pleiades,and set in a slightly hazy sky on March 25,2023. The haze adds the colourful "lunar corona" halo around the bright crescent of the Moon from diffraction effects in the high icy clouds. Shot before the sky got dark,the remaining twilight adds the blue to the background sky. Earthshine is visible on the dark side of the Moon.$

This is the Belt of Orion with its three blue stars across the top of the frame (L to R: Alnitak, Alnilam, and Mintaka), with the iconic Horsehead Nebula (aka B33) below Alnitak, with the dark Horsehead set against the bright nebula IC 434, aka Orion’s Dagger. The pinkish nebula above Alnitak is NGC 2024, the Flame Nebula. The small blue reflection nebula left of the Horsehead is NGC 2023, with smaller IC 435 to the left of it. The field is filled with the large open cluster Collinder 70. The multiple star at bottom left of centre is Sigma Orionis. Many other smaller bits of reflection nebulas

This is the rich region of clusters and nebulosity in the constellation of Gemini, with the Jellyfish Nebula, IC 443 at bottom near the orange star eta Geminorum. IC 443 is a supernova remnant. The larger region of fainter, diffuse nebulosity at left is IC 444. The loose star cluster embedded in it, with the blue star 12 Gem, is Collinder 89. At top right is the bright showpiece open star cluster Messier 35 with its smaller, more distant companion cluster NGC 2158 at lower right from M35.

This is the region of the Milky Way that extends from southern Cygnus at top down into Vulpecula and Sagitta at bottom. Below centre is the Coathanger asterism,aka Brocchi's Cluster or Cr399. Above it is the blue reflection nebula Sharpless 2-83. The magenta emission nebula above and to the left is NGC 6820. A small red nebula above it is Sharpless 2-88.

A portrait of Orion and the northern winter Milky Way, on a February night, 2020. The Orion Nebula is the bright, overexposed pink glow below the Belt of Orion, while the curving arc of red is Barnard’s Loop, now thought to be a supernova remnant. The bright red glow at upper left is the Rosette Nebula. Red Betelgeuse was at its minimum then, at about the same brightness as Bellatrix to the right — Betelgeuse is usually about as bright as blue-white Rigel at lower right. However, Betelguese began to re-brighten in the nights after this.

Grand Prismatic Spring is one of the largest and most beautiful examples of a common hydrothermal feature in Yellowstone National Park and one of the largest hot springs in the United States. The prismatic, colorful features come from several sources; the deep blue in the center is the clear super-heated water circulating up from the subterranean heat source and shows a pair of convection currents, like a pair of eyes. As the water cools at the edges of the pool and on the sinter terraces, bacteria and algae produce the rainbow of colors. This hot spring was specifically mentioned in Osborne R
