Better pictures, now with plans!

Astronomy photography credit to starman_astro. How he gets these images from our light polluted area is beyond me. I'm so thankful for his consent and support in using his photos as inspiration!

Ok, the first. The Elephant Nebula, and so full of colors! The green/orange on the left and the blue/orange/violet on the right are polwarth/silk. Green orange was pan dyed, then did an ice overdye with black. Blue/orange/violet was paint dyed, as was the violet. The violet is a soy silk blend, shinier but much flatter. The intent is to create a weaving using bits of each to recreate the picture. I'll be using some colored locks for additional texture.

The second is the Heart Nebula. I might have gone too literal, but eh. Also, polwarth silk blend. Planning to spin individually, chain ply, and do a scarf with the shape of the heart nebula embedded. Maybe learn to do double knitting for this?

The last is the yarn, inspired by the North America Nebula. Oh gods, the yarn. I could not have possibly planned these colors coming out so perfectly if i had even known what i was doing. The yarn is a Romney blend from Island Fibers. Pan dyed. Holy smokes, people. I had to take two pictures to show this one specific detail... in my friend's picture, there is a small spot of pink. Somehow, my yarn found itself with a similar small spit of pink. I'm over the moon. The plan for this is to knit some accessories up (hat, gloves) that more abstractly reference the image.

The next pictures will be either progress or completion photos. I'll likely do the weaving first once I get the loom warped with some colors that will enhance this whole thing.

Here are my best shots of today’s solar eclipse.

This last shot is of my makeshift filter so I could protect my lens.

Can you spot the horse's head in this image? What you're observing isn't the renowned Horsehead Nebula in Orion, but rather a fainter nebula that reveals its familiar shape through deeper imaging. At the core of this molecular cloud complex captured here is the reflection nebula IC 4592. Comprising fine dust, reflection nebulas typically appear dark but take on a blue hue when reflecting visible light from nearby energetic stars. In this scenario, the primary source of reflected light is a star located at the horse's eye, part of Nu Scorpii, a prominent star system in the Scorpius constellation. Another reflection nebula, IC 4601, surrounds two stars visible just above and to the right of the image center.
