Very Bright Halo

On July 17, somewhere in the National Park of Kanchanaburi (Thailand), I could make this picture of a very bright Halo. It's one of the most brightest ones I ever could observe.

Milky Way above Ko Pha-ngan

Waiting for a clear sky above Ko Pha-ngan (Thailand) was worthwile. At first I thought still to see some clouds but ... it was the milky way. Not being prepared and not having any equipment with me I managed to make some pictures. Pictures were not taken in RAW, apenture was unfortunately not 100% open (f/5.6) and pictures were manualy taken. But even then it's a great picture with an unforgattable view from this Island.

Vandaag is iedereen welkom op de zonnekijkdag. Vanaf 13h00 staat sterrenvereniging Helios Averbode aan "Het Moment" van de abdij van Averbode. Met telescopen met speciale filters zal het mogelijk zijn om naar de zon te kijken, natuurlijk wanneer er geen wolken zijn.

Saturn

Saturn is currently very low above the horizon and thus impacted by bad seeing.
