The Eastern Veil Nebula
View this post on Hive: The Eastern Veil Nebula
A crypto project which sets stakes of its users to zero has nothing to do with the basic ideas of blockchains and cryptocurrencies.
It's a shame to run down such a project and let it go to waste in that way.
As funds on STEEM aren't safe anymore, I moved all over to HIVE.
There is no place else on this platform where so much quality, extraordinary material can be found. SteemSTEM...that's the top.
I get so busy, I almost missed this outside of the voting window (I don't do auto voting). I'm going to make a list of my favorite bloggers. It won't be that long, but you're on it.
The most stunning images-- and you give us maps!. I'm a fan of terrestrial maps--now I have maps of the skies.
Thank you for a beautiful experience.
Thank you very much for your kind words @agmoore2 :-)
Thank you also for adding me to your fav's, I really appreciate that :-)
Making a list of favorite bloggers sounds like a good idea, as my feed here is getting more and more unmanageable with each follow.
I do autovotes but I think I have to clean some things there. A small bot that reminds me on each post of the fav-listed user would be nice.
Greetings :-)
I'm almost embarrassed to admit how unsophisticated I am on this platform. No bots. No auto anything. I stumbled on to Steem and am afraid I am quite the dinosaur. For me, this is a daily banquet, and SteemSTEM.io makes it easy to find quality content. But there are so many other corners of the Steem universe that delight me (@shaka and his letsmakeacollage contest is one example). My list will actually be on a piece of paper that I tuck in my desk drawer and refer to so I don't lose track of great bloggers. I think today I will start, alphabetically...your name and @abigail-dantes should be near the top, with that system :)) Thanks again, for your very courteous response.
I love, love, love lists!!
Started mine already :D
:*
Kisses for you two!!
😊 😇🌹🌹
Oh my heavens! I just upvoted my own comment 😗
That happens sometimes :-)
Ohhh... That's so cute Abigail :-*
Thank you so much for this honor and these kind words :-)
😘
Nothing to thank for @agmoore2 :-)
Those autovotes really helps do not miss a post of favorite authors. Especially if the feed is getting chaotic over time. You have no need to be afraid of to be called a dinosaur for the way you are using it. Everyone has its own, and the one that is most comfortable to you will be the right :-)
That's true, there are many bright and sunny corners around there. But unfortunately, there are also the dark ones. Anyway, we should enjoy the bright and sunny ones :-)
This with the sheet of paper is a good idea. It could also be used as a backup for the keys that we need here.
Many thanks for the flattering words :-)
Hello there @astrophoto.kevin :)
I'd heard through the grapevine that your latest post was mind blowing! Only now did I have time to come and see for myself. Of course I knew it was going to be wonderful, but ... my goodness... I am lost for words! Thank you for transporting us to the Eastern Veil Nebula :D with and without stars! It's hard to decide which image I like the most.
Stunning work Kevin.
Congratulations!
All the best to you :)
Thank you so much for your warm words, Abigail :-)
I really appreciate that you like the images :-)
I must say that I'm really speechless about the response that I get about this post, I would never have expected this.
My personal opinion is always with stars. The images are looking much more natural even if the stars are hiding some details. But in the end, it's a matter of personal favor just like the colors.
Thank you!
I'm wishing you also all the best and a very nice day :-)
Wow!
Thank you very much @carlgnash
this is so nice, I'm glad I found this blog on my TL, love it!
Thank you very much @ilhuna
I really appreciate that you like it :-)

Wow! This is breathtaking. A great kudos to you.
Thank you very much @emperorhassy :-)
The sky is so fascinating. I am no expert and I would say I'm not even a hobby observer of the night sky but I have noticed recently the difference in the sky between different places. I've been back home for a couple of weeks and as there are mainly small villages and mountains the stars are so bright. I don't remember seeing such bright stars anywhere else in the world. It's so beautiful.
I like both photos but I must say that I prefer the one with stars. It looks more real. The second one simply miss the stars (but this is probably just a personal preference :))
Thank you for sharing all the information. It's very interesting! Have a lovely day!
Thank you very much for your kind words @delishtreats :-)
One of the benefits of living in a rural area instead of a city is the lower light pollution. The city lights can totally hide most of the stars, which is very sad. Before I moved to my location here, I lived in a small city (it was not such a city as everyone thinks when one hears the word city. Maybe 10k people lived there) and was never able to see the Milky Way.
Thank you for your opinion. I also like the one with the stars most. As you say, it is more natural. The one without the stars is to show whats in the background of the stars.
Thank you very much! I'm wishing you also a lovely day :-)
Btw. Just took a look at your post. Awesome shots! I'm really curious about your next one :-)
Thank you! I've been inactive for a while as I was sick and now I'm on vacation back home. I will be back in Switzerland in a week and will start posting again :)
It's interesting that you were not able to see the Milky Way in a small city. It's a common thing here :) So now I feel blessed :)
I wish you a lovely Sunday!
In the meantime, I'm able to see it. :-)
But even here the conditions become worse every year.
More and more LED street lights and LED lights in generall that are much brighter and need so few energy that they can be turned on the whole night.
Oh, sickness is something, nobody needs to have. Hope you had a nice vacation :-)
Thank you, wishing you a lovely Sunday evening and a healthy start in the next week.
Einfach nur schön

Awesome photographs!
How much of this nebula is visible to the naked eye?
Thank you very much @amberyooper
Unfortunately, only the brightest stars can be seen with the naked eye. And for those, you will need a very dark sky without light pollution. The nebula itself quite big, so magnification shouldn't be a problem, but it is too dim.
Maybe it is enough to take a look through a big binocular if you have a dark and clear sky.
