skies Pinar de Araceli 2009

weekend of 15 to 17 August were the Pinar de Araceli, Granada, housed in wooden huts at 1700m high.

this output did not drawings ... but with reference to the title of the blog if I can tell you that I came face to face .. Soul of the night.
been a long, long time since I enjoyed the skies so proud ... so studded with stars, so that cost Reconco some constellations and other that often go unnoticed were displayed as saying that if I am ehh!
Meter SQM-L gave the two nights a reading of 21.39 and the Milky Way at the zenith almost gave light to the ground! horizon crossing NE to SW torn infinite dark alleys dotted with black-eyed elf.

many lumps of stars ... few clouds of gas and dust ... at night so you do not may stand to observe with the telescope .. need to fill your eyes, cover everything.
During the night I could see dozens of Perseids, intense and dramatic, a few days ago had been the top and as the night wore Perseus rose to dominate in the NE.
The Moon and the Pleiades also looked out to join us, we were at the gates of dawn. We

many pictures room and night from the evening session as well as some videos of memory. I've uploaded all the Web Sky, you can access here:

Perseids 2009 Night Dream

The meteor showers have always fascinated me.
Something as simple as lying in the night sky becomes a most rewarding activity. Do not carry telescopes to show you the wonders of the universe, only your eyes as a tool enough to enjoy this show. What's more, is the best way to enjoy it .. filling your eyes and heart ... trying to cover the whole sky ... waiting until a spark to tear the sky and flooded with light and color.

Perseids of 2009 have been spectacular! We went to Las
Inviernas with Alfonso, Susana, Eva and Alexander and a laugh us all together. Fernando and I
comentábamoss way back from Madrid: night, company and good times have been memorable. It was long since spent some Perseids so fabulous. We
about 22 hours at the esplanade family .. even the sky was not dark at all, but were seen shooting! Susana was the first in a brilliant catch. Since then stopped "falling" ... but of course, we were riding the "bed" of observation and cameras on tripods, and that kept us busy and occasionally the boys shouted !!!!!! hala Tómaaaaaaaaa!! in barely 10 minutes had already fallen a lot, how they felt they were the remains of the maximum.
I had fallen about 10 (some true racers very long) and while Alf and adjust cameras Fer other positions we take in! Observation bed! .. yeah .. pa chamber six packages! very comfortable and warm. Chas! chas! the shooting of the photos start and did not stop for several hours. I had a map on which I began to draw the trace of the brightest and took data on a template .. I had time to write down everything so I just recorded the most spectacular on paper .. Caian many, and while scoring continued to fall! therefore I could only record which gave me time as I watched, but there were many many. Nando I helped with the data, but of course we always miss one. We had chosen as the vision center region of the Swan, and many people watched from the corner of the eye and those not anotabamos.
sure cameras have caught some fleeting. Shortly after he left the Moon (which was when almost stopped seeing) ... chabi scored 25 records but left many without scoring so easy that it exceeds 80 meteors between 22:30 or so (local time) until the end of the Moon was about 00:30 (the glow was noticeable already before). Here I step

drawing I made of the brightest I caught fleeting and I had time to register.

Soon I'll upload the part with all entries of brightness, wake etc ...

And since we were in the countryside, with a pleasant temperature we decided that we were very comfortable and we are passing it with fear, saw the moon rise, some other meteor fell and continued to chat and taking photos. We took pictures of the group environment in the light of the moon .. Jart what to laugh! the moonlight and lanterns.

THE truth is that it has been great! for the next rain we have to think of a "round bed" pa divide up the sky and record all those who see it.

What gives us great moments ago, as you said Chet Raymo, the day comes with bread and fruit at night .. with nirvana and stardust .... and tonight ... has literally rained "Stardust" ...

CHINESE LAND ADVENTURE: TOTAL ECLIPSE OF SUN

Holaaaa !!!!!!!!!!! I'm back! Before
catch up with everything, I will take time, I want to share with everyone China adventure ... HE
written a little story above ... and has already left me a sheet of care .. I hope you enjoy the stories, share a past time give much joy:

Although we returned from China a few days ago we could not write or na for being very busy, and the pictures have been organized, although I putting me gradually.
What I can tell ... still seems like a dream we have lived ... We were 5 people
completely free, so we only had the plane ticket, hotels and managed chosen from Madrid train ticket from Beijing to Shanghai (which we had a bit on edge because only gave a few days before use ...) and not knowing and how was the season or anything ... now .. so that like everything else .. went without a hitch. It is more .. each day was an exciting adventure. She wore a planing certain things we wished to visit, according to the order and as we felt like it was the day. Get up for breakfast and leave with a map in hand ... pa'alla today ... We can take the subway, or catch a taxi ... because the distances ... maaaaadre. The scale of it is tremendous. Sometimes we take a walk sections guiding us through the streets, and pipe it to us we spent trying to contact people. Some only had curiosity (and took pictures as you know) others wanted to practice English, and others because they were ashamed checker pattern ajajajajajaaj that if .. they laughed and did not stop looking at you. Each day was an adventure full of challenges and discoveries, find you the tricks for communicating with a taxi driver (because dad did not understand or inglis) UHO UHO we drove out waving his arm with the map telling you lies will not go that finds out what I want .. jajajajajaja Hala to stop someone who understands English to explain that we want to write for the driver on the map we want to go to the Main Astronomical Observatory ... what tummy laugh .. we said .. this is to shoot a documentary. Was the seller of "Artichoke", the peddler of puncture repair wheels, dark workshops, which cast a nap in the car, or play the files ...
The contrasts were amazing, Hutong alleys ... and above them towers of luxury hotels ... As you get closer to the center flipabamos. Tianannmen Square with the endless queue to see Mao ... The Forbidden City magic .. remembered the movie Last Emperor .. and we thought .. is that it does anything that has been opened to the public! .. Beihai Park ... and the White Pagoda ... lotus, Houhai Lake seemed Amsterdam by night .. what up!! ... and that smell ... where food had occasionally appeared ... pungent and nauseating ... Milks what would it be?
The Temple of Heaven, the SOHO and the CCTV building ... WITHOUT WORDS ... what amazing work! and Ritan Park .. the oldest in Beijing full of life and musical activities .. comets with a night light ... and the fair pagan sacrifices .. kitchens are even ....
main train station was disbelief, huge and stop people ... the sidewalks are overflowing with Chinese to catch his train ... access to the tracks were stairs .. imagine the maneuvers to lower packages around the world ... vaults were painted marks on the ground ... if you'd be put in that brand .. sound effect was quite a sight .... an ECO SUPER thundered you and let you almost deaf .. but only the ISOs you .. those outside they heard you talk normal.
The train ride was an adventure travel 1600 km .. listening to the rowdy Chinese did not sleep. We were in bunk beds until they had filled the aisles. We arrived to Jiaxing and was cleared, gave us hope. Often visited the village people .. major streets such as Gran Via were filled with loud music stores of all kinds, night lights and more lights ... and ... to fall from heaven. An electrical storm left us freaking out.
Nando and I were excited, the big day arrived and above .. in a few hours would contact colleagues Seville "on Chinese soil." Puntazo often.

I was awaiting the phone, I knew that there would be no problem to see us and get to your hotel at 25 km. Once we gather the joke was complete, enduring the rain, the good atmosphere we had .. faith that kept us there perched on the via ... coupled eclipse and the magnificence of your company ... the best combination!
when I saw a dark mass .. knew that it would give us time to protect .. so prepared with the Chinese gorrro ... deluge literally in seconds, the slippers to plop plop ...

What I can say about those times ... we were together was unforgettable .. There are photos, videos ... so far I've been given time is to prepare photos of the eclipse (the before, during and after) and I have adjusted to focus and set up a video. But then, as I say because I get to put the environment too .. and when I put out music .. but spare me and say .. audio and therefore I put pictures of the trip .. and finally I have scattered and left me a video of many megs (42 megs) ... I tried to upload to youtube but more than 10 minutes left and no other services at a low quality so I uploaded to megaupload so that you link to download it and enjoy it at the top of the photos with all the quality.

You can download it here: HE http://astronomadas.jimdo.com/astronomia/viajes-y-expediciones/
uploaded links (rapidshare, megaupload and sendspace) if no limit of download you can see it.

If you do happen to see it as unlimited downloads you tell me, because it runs out of quota.

A photo of all:

umbrellas, Pepa eclipse glasses, the filter cups .... Chinese hats with the flag ... There are photos of the time of the Flood, and all under the umbrella ... Chinese visitors ...
I have not been able to digest all the photos in full, but when I go to the Picasso, a farewell
After his hotel bellman offered to take us to the bus station walk (3 min walk) helped us to buy tickets to Hangzhou (and thank goodness because there dad or English ...) and hope to reach ours. The public address system that warned of the arrival and departure was a scrawny Chinese stiff as he walked a half perched on the iron balls were lathes. While the notes to accounts came a curious and it was literally on top of wad of cash to count .. with his hands clasped behind his back as he gets bored and says that I look out to see who make these eye-egg. Jajajajajaja

The bus was the cane, tumbling as a career, behind that of snoring like a chainsaw and a China that gave us gab in English telling that would help us in Hangzhou. Upon arrival we took a "tail" to catch taxi ... and there begins the second part of the adventure. The village is quite a large city like Las Vegas ... and then the green zone .. a huge lake surrounded by nature paradise with boating routes. We made a night and a day ... What paradise.
went to see the entrance of the tide, like a car when ... the show was worth it, is like watching a tsunami come but controlled. I hope to soon make videos, is seen as the wave moves us beyond deafening. The quest to return to the hotel was fine. Once that just goes all quisqui ... and will also taxis.
to see back .. with 40 degrees and 99% humidity .. maaaadre. We stopped a taxi that had a very old china, which called another that was to be her husband threw the broncaza that he left us scared shitless ... and I had a sweet voice .. but yeah! like the boy crying because he escaped from making zigzag traffic and she did not know get to Hangzhou ... total, the two taxis to catch and we had to all the people around us watching the show. The tornado did not laugh came when Nando we wanted to go without giving the old water pump lever such NIKI .... the explosion of laughter from the Chinese was to record it.

Hangzhou is beautiful, no wonder that everyone who goes to Shanghai even those who live there want to get closer.

catch a "nearby" to go to Shanghai and from there by taxi to the hotel ... our stay in Shanghai was also amazing. The journey would end here. We stayed at the Pudong .. SWFC near, and near a shopping street amazing. We catch everything, even the mask wearing iridescent many cyclists, was a top supervisera you to the fronted for we have brought a pair! ehh jajajajajaja to prepare for the day that the sun does not give us a better view so the Fuzzy!!
Although we had purchased many things in the Silk Market in Beijing chop here as well ... was logical. The city is amazing, we saw the Jade Buddha Temple (which left us in awe of the size so sweet and "creamy ")..... then Yuyuan Park ... amazing neighborhood "Chino" the authentic old town and the ancient city wall ... Here are some markets selling fruit, vegetables and fish worth seeing ... scares and leaves you marveling at a time. Unpez you jump to your feet Nando, and all over the floor ... now see the photos. The Bund more impressed from the water. The psychedelic tunnel under water, Nanjing Road ... guauuu! just the green subway line 2 catches us at the door of the hotel and we could get off at the Pearl or Nanjing in two minutes! Skyscrapers ... the kana! in the Pearl hired two boat trips one day with bright sunshine and another at night before lights out of the city at 22h. We climbed to the top of the SWFC ... and use the bathrooms up with dashes futuristic drones to consumer tastes .... warm and decorated futuristic toilets .... juer! no photos no photos!
And the beer at the Cloud 9 ... if it is true that we feel at cloud nine! Tsintao some overlooking the Bund lit ... all dim and candles ... musiquita soft ... as we said: we take a Tsintao in Jinmao Sit ...
the end ... lasers catch him in the Yuyuan Park, where old houses pink catwalk ... what corner! ara .. Chinese tobacco packed! ISOs to piratillas approaching ... Leiser, Leiser ... Nando jajajajajaja and caught a crab battered and fried to lick your fingers. The next day we returned to the area and we entered markets with the typical "100 ... but there was "All to 2 yuan" ... freak out, was the section toys, shoes, sunglasses .... and of course .. chop over again, and one of empeladol golo .... ahh and bread stuffed with jelly-roll .... Jajajaj

What adventures you guys! There is much to tell you if one day I can try to write every effort not to forget or an anecdote.
But that will with time, which I've dropped here a care sheet if you have come to the end ... thank you! hurt me because Dedina jajajajjajaajj but I really enjoyed writing it and remembering the stories.
I hope you enjoy the video. If you have any problems in downloading it and tell me I look for another alternative. I hope to soon upload a selection of pictures to Picassa.

Greetings to all!! Leo

What Do You Write In A Card For A Baby

Night Summer Solstice Thoughts

June 20, 2009

early to find a good area where to park the car. We walked down a road that is between Mazarambroz and Crow, a nice place among olive and almond trees.

were

20:00 pm (local) and we were 33 º C in the shade, with a slight breeze that melted. The meter marked a 25% humidity.

The fields are very dry but the environment in general is green with many trees around and the Montes de Toledo the substance gave a special charm to the landscape.

We planted on flat ground and clear but somewhat closer road which was somewhat annoying at first by the noise of passing cars, but then failed to pass.

field music was soothing: birds flitting sunset, the views of the giant thistles surprised like huge skyscrapers in the city ...

and some other weird bug like this with a bottle, seemed to be upright as if to walk upright.

occasionally looked a partridge or a rabbit hopping across the field, these were huge and they huddled in the shade of trees to cool off.

The sky was blue and cloudless, promising an enjoyable evening.

began to assemble the team, and while occasionally I peered into the binoculars to scan the horizon. Took the opportunity to poke reflex camera to the binoculars to see if I could pick one of the rabbits that had pointed out to my surprise, although they rounded vignetting.

With more zoom. Protruding ears.

After I moved over the horizon and there was something strange, like castle towers, caught my attention because in that area "there is nothing" just as field the map .. What could be the building? Again I have more pictures for an instant and discover what it is.

When we had the most prepared team we became some pictures while we waited for the Polar . For not remove the glasses and using a tripod the picture we got each other and then mount it with photoshop. The result is this, note that we are in different dimensions!

at 22:45 local time we were at 27 º C .

The time before the adjustment to the Polar was ideal for dinner, we took the pan with the tortilla chips and prepared a scrumptious sandwiches. So good I know now!

started adjusting to the Polar and alignment with the stars while Enya's music sounded. It took a lot

obscure, in fact all night did not get to see a completely dark sky fog that had, as a white background (maximum of 20.83 in the SQM-L). Until 3 am did not notice the dark sky, light pollution from nearby towns and you could see the dust and mist combines prevailing in the summer solstice ... we can say that we do not enjoy the best conditions, but hey, really wanted to go and we needed to take away the thorn of the last time we went out and we ran the team. Yo I had a pipe going through star fields with binoculars: Antares and M4, the galactic center, M24, M22, Trifid and Lagoon, Omega, Eagle ... toured the entire Milky Way to the Swan. I make a couple of drawings: Rho Ophiuchi region and M22. But felt much the light background of sky and not find some contrasts known to exist in Sagittarius and Cygnus, so I went to see how he was led to rest the neck and kept binoculars.

Here you can see the two drawings I did:

are made with graphite (HB and H) on white paper, looking through binoculars Vixen 12x80.

The first is a view of Antares, M4 and Rho Ophiuchi through Vixen 12x80 binoculars

haze was noticed around Antares and Rho as if they were connected.

The globular cluster M4 showed splendid but only as a dense ball of cotton, no detail. The night was not very good, the measurement of SQM for tonight did not go beyond 20.83.

Country

4.2 °

View

M22 in Sagittarius. The course was spectacular, full of stars of different magnitudes difficult to draw. Highlighted a small star-shaped arrow with one of its components in a very orange-red tone. The globular was huge, gray cotton, denser toward the i nterior . had a pair of stars marking the limits almost visible. Off the field (to the right of the image) is the bright Gamma Sagittarius. It is the star that marks the top of the "Teapot" summer, used to locate the cluster easily.

The pictures we took to check up were varied and 20 minutes each. shooting with the Canon 350D but this time we use the unmodified version.

When we saw that the computer worked as usual we are very happy, especially after the scare last time. We had set to work on the "this" so we took that little was Scorpio to finish and did some shooting with self-guided, worked perfectly.

Antares, the set Antares with animated M4 ... so we went to rho Ophiuchi and repeat ... but then, once completed and we had to go to another "target" not to reset the hemisphere. It was this or change the parameters in the Sky which entailed re-do the alignment star and not being deloeste night to shoot rockets almost prefer to stay in the east and take some shots at different points before picking up and leave. Tonight we were not looking quite a haul, there are still some things to learn from each output to take full advantage. We learned more and now we are more careful with certain parameters that were once largely not paying much attention, every day we are closer to complete this cycle and we are confident that very soon we will make some unforgettable photographs.

Test images always store them, are useless because they have no signal, with only a 20 minute making little object can be removed (more noise than anything else and especially the brand canon), but as often happens to me ... until these tests delude me. I remember the terrible images with bad track before and I think how I can miss those perhaps just a single shot! Tinkering with Photoshop and keep the results. Here you can see them:

Ophiuchus FIELD: WITH STAR OF BARNARD

is the more orange the asterisk southern V-shaped in the center.

Antares, M4 and NGC 6144.

nebulosity is seen around Antares, on the right The dark nebula OF "E" in the Eagle.

Rho Ophiuchi: blue clouds around the star .

NEBULA OR SNAKE BARNARD 72 in Ophiuchus.

Hope you like it. Leo
