Deep Nightscape With Milky Way and Summer Triangle Shinning in Ha light above the Lake
By Year: 2025 | Deep Nightscapes and Ha | Milky Way & Infrared
A deep nightscape I had the pleasure to capture recently in Catalonia, Àger, while was scouting for places to photograph the comet. This time I also used an additional Ha filter to reveal some of the beautiful emission near the top around North America nebula normally invisible to our eyes. While the well known asterism formed by bright Summer’s Triangle stars: Deneb, Vega and Altair, seems to dominate the entire secene, the core of Milky Way was setting behind the mountain. In the opposite direction, on the lower right edge, a bright flare was caught and reflected on the lake. Although, I’m not quite sure if it was a meteor or a bright Iridium, as I saw too many satellites that night.
Both single tracked exposures with a Vixen Polarie U (30 sec RGB and 85 sec Ha) Nikon Z8 on 16mm f1.8 Hope you enjoy it!
PT: Uma paisagem nocturna que tive o prazer de captar recentemente em Àger, na Catalunha, enquanto procurava locais para fotografar o cometa. Desta vez, utilizei adicionalmente um filtro Ha (Hidrogénioi-alfa) que permitiu revelar uma região de forte emissão (vermelho-violeta) perto do topo da Nebulosa da América do Norte, normalmente invisível a olho nu. Enquanto o conhecido asterismo formado pelas brilhantes estrelas do Triângulo de Verão — Deneb, Vega e Altair — parecia dominar toda a cena, o núcleo da Via Láctea punha-se por detrás da montanha. Na direção oposta, na margem inferior direita, um brilho intenso foi captado e refletido no lago. Embora não tivesse ficado claro se era referente a um meteoro ou um Iridium brilhante, pois vi muitos satélites naquela noite, um crescente aumento de satélites que se está a tornar probelmático para a astronomia.
Ambas as exposições foram feitas com um único dispardo e seguimento com a Vixen Polarie U (30 segundos RGB e 85 segundos Ha) utilizando uma Nikon Z8 com uma lente 16mm f/1.8. Espero que gostem!
