    I was photographing this young dancer during sunrise and wanted to capture the rising sun in the gap she created during the Scorpion move. I had to lie the camera on the sand and angle it correctly in the moment she was able to hold the pose. Of course, the air and building were in the background, but I removed them by flipping the image and erasing them.

    Used my Dwarf 3 smart telescope to capture multiple hours over two night of this nebula, nicknamed the Wizard's nebula. "Nebula NGC 7380, otherwise known as The Wizard's Nebula. It is a young open star cluster embedded in a glowing cloud of gas and dust, located about 7,000 to 8,000 light-years away in the constellation Cepheus. Also known as NGC 7380 and Sh2-142, it spans roughly 100 light-years and got its magical name because its dust lanes look like a sorcerer in a pointed hat." - Wik
