This strange brightening of the three pieces was left in the wounds of the meteor camera. Also a dimmer meteor stripe in the picture. Combined pair of images. Original and video here .

WR 134

Tapio Lahtinen, Tampereen Ursa
WR 134 is a variable Wolf-Rayet type star located about 6000 light years away. In the image, it is the brightest white star in the center of the image. The nebula around it (blueish in this picture) was formed when the star was in the red giant phase, when the outer layers have spread due to the star's strong radiation and stellar wind. WR-type stars are a very rare type of star. In 2018, only 154 of them were known in the Milky Way. The Crescent nebula has also been born under similar conditions.

The color cloud had already faded when I got access to a better camera. Therefore, only a picture of Wanha's cell phone camera.
Venus ja Merkurius
5.1.2015 at 16.12 - Tampere
(III)
Tapio Lahtinen, Tampereen Ursa
Venus and Mercury converge and the closest are 10.1. whereby the distance is only 0.7 degrees. I played it safe and photographed the convergence already now with a distance of about 1.5 degrees.

Venus and Mars

Tapio Lahtinen, Tampereen Ursa
Because of the clouds, the next encounter passed, but Mars and Venus still fit in the field of view.
Venus and Jupiter

Tapio Lahtinen, Tampereen Ursa
For the sake of certainty, I also described the encounter of the planets when there is no certainty about these Finnish spells. Description done at home in the kitchen - windows still open.

Tapio Lahtinen, Tampereen Ursa
I, too, tried if I could see the cloud zones of Venus. Well, the result is that it may be possible with this equipment, if only the conditions are optimal. But a bigger pipe would be better.

Tapio Lahtinen, Tampereen Ursa
In the viewfinder, Venus and Jupiter were nicely visible in the daytime sky but could not fit in the same box with the equipment I used. So here both separately, but on the same scale.

Tapio Lahtinen, Tampereen Ursa
I tried to describe the narrow sickle of Venus and how the ADC helps when it is only about 5 degrees high - it doesn’t work wonders. On Venus, the size is almost an arc minute. Another image with IRpass filter.

vdB 152
5.9.2018 at 01.00 - Fregenal de la Sierra, Espanja
(III)
Tapio Lahtinen, Tampereen Ursa
Here’s an interesting subject that had to be photographed for a long time (could be the longest exposure I took). The 'main target' is a blue reflective nebula called vdB 152, which is at the apex of the brown nebula. The brown mist is called B 175 In addition, an HII / OIII region called Dengel-Hartl (DeHt) 5 can also be found in the image (the same place is also called a planetary nebula in other sources called PN G111.0 +11.6). Another image of this area. There is some speculation about this that will at some point collide with dark fog. In addition, a weak red arc shows a supernova...

I also tried to describe this wonderful ghostly foggy area. The second image shows a wider field.

Variable star V603 Aql
13.5.2021 at 01.00 - 05.30 - Fregenal de la Sierra, Espanja
(II)
Tapio Lahtinen, Tampereen Ursa
I participated in the AAVSO campaign for the first time. From this the wish collapsed in an email so I directed my Spanish tube to the constellation of Kotka and photographed the subject for 4.5 hours with 30 second exposures. I sent the results to AAVSO and the results will be shown here (hopefully shown). I also made my own curve and it shows in the picture.

Variable star V603 Aql
16.5.2021 at 03.00 - 07.00 - Tampere
(II)
Tapio Lahtinen, Tampereen Ursa
I photographed this interesting variable another night and when you compare it with the previous observation, you can already see the periodicity here. Edit: I did a raw merging of the curves with Photar and that steep drop hits pretty well but the irregularity is otherwise. It would be interesting to see combining episodes with some better software. Well maybe this is where some scientific publication will appear.

Variable star DO Dra

Again, at the request of AAVSO, I photographed this changing star. Figure 1. View of the ASTAP program with magnitude measurements. Figure 2. Variable search map from AAVSO's service. Brightness 15.58, described by G filter. I can't put more information now.

Uranus

At the end of the asteroid imaging, I still photographed Uranus (and its moons). These are less often captured with a CCD camera.
UGC 9749 Ursa Minor Dwarf
11.5.2022 at 02.00 - Fregenal de la Sierra, Espanja
(I)
Tapio Lahtinen, Tampereen Ursa
I’ve photographed some of these Milky Way dwarf galaxies and now in the spring I saw a picture of this rather challenging galaxy online. The distance in this dwarf galaxy is about 225,000 light-years. The galaxy is mainly made up of old stars and there is hardly any new star formation there. That’s why it’s so challenging when gas is no longer visible.

The sun shone in a confusing red morning. I found several amazing phenomena and taking pictures of it: Can wildfires around the world have made a difference? #synty: Iberian forest fires and the sand of the Sahara
