The universe is our home!!!

See the beauty of the nature near IC434 - it's called Pferdekopfnebel (I don't know the english word for it). It's the small dark fog at the 'bottom' of the red fog...

Another picture of the Pferdekopfnebel which lies (from our view) in the star constellation of Orion (not the german spaceship ).

My last picture of the Pferdekopfnebel that I offer you is very clear because it was made by a special photo technic. If I would try a direct translation then I would say it's called horse's head fog but this is speculation only.

Enjoy the pics! Rock on!!!

Greetings from Frankfurt (Germany),
Sheriff ;-)

...very nice... I didn't know that you are astronomy guy... Is it a fog or a nebula(hear that word at Star Trek-Voyager )?

Sheriff...thanks for the photos....great shots....
Tony Rome

Great photos.

Gary

Cool photos Sheriff: They look like nebulas to me, where stars are born. I could be wrong since I am not an astronemer.

Oops! Sorry, if I didn't make it clear enough but the pictures are not made by me. I've only found them in the web and translated some infos!

sLOWER, I'm not an astronomer but I'm interested in all natural beauties. In the outer space we will find some viewings which will stay untouched by humans for a long, long time...

Ah, Paul, so is it called horse's head nebula? I don't know...but this beauty will be musically described on my new album. I wish I could ride the black nebula horse...
...seems a little bit like surfing the Dark Sun...

...don't know why but now in my head I hear Pink Floyd's "Dark side of a moon"...

Hi, sLOWER, I have something special for you... The Moon\'s Eclipse !!!

Look at the 3rd picture and you will see a dark moon in the middle of the pic (not the small bright point in the bottom right corner)...
These 6 pics were made on the 9th november in the year 2003 from an small observatory in Fuerstenfeldbruck, Germany, from 1:49AM to 4:02AM.
Pink Floyd will play on...

Hey, Sheriff

" Remember when you were young - you shine like the sun - Shine on you crazy diamond!!" ...best chorus they ever made!! What a song!What a bend!

You've discovered my favorite song of Pink Floyd!!!
I've played this song so many times that I nearly could play it with closed eyes. But I tell you David Gilmour's guitar playing bites me more than Yngwie Malmsteen's, more than playing the scales up and down. He is my great idol of lead playing...
