Description

I just had to take advantage of this view from my backyard. I first did some basic planing with PhotoPills, but I would like to see more details, beside MW core from this app. That's why I decided to import Google Eart landscape to Stellarium and I was simply changing the time and date.

Importing landscape to Stellarium takes quite a lot of time and you gamble, because there is a good chance that nothing interesting will appear on your screen. Looks like I got quite lucky with this one. For reference I will paste a Stellarium screenshot in the comments (hopefully I wont forget, since I share my work in different groups).

As you will probably see, the Heart and Soul nebulae dont match completley compare to the screenshot. That is because I could not rotate the camera anymore - grip on my D600 was hitting the L-bracket on my Sky Watcher Star Adventurer. I remembered when I was done with shooting that I could just rotate the camera so it would be upside down.

About the landscape:

Mount Porezen is a mountain of the outlying Alps located in Slovenia. It is the highest summit of the Slovenian Prealps and one of the icons of Cerkljanska region. We could be one of the last generations to see Porezen as it is, since trees and other growth is taking over the meadows.

About the sky (source: wikipedia):

The Heart Nebula, IC 1805, Sharpless 2-190, lies some 7500 light years away from Earth and is located in the Perseus Arm of the Galaxy in the constellation Cassiopeia. It was discovered by William Herschel on 3 November 1787. It is an emission nebula showing glowing ionized hydrogen gas and darker dust lanes.

-Focal length blend (landscape was taken at 110mm, sky was taken at 135mm)

-Time-blend (I took the landscape shot earlier, when the mountain was still covered in snow. I have done this for better separation so the mountain stands out more).
