X-rays from one of the first series of X-rays ever produced, by Josef Maria Eder (1855–1944) and Eduard Valenta (1857–1937), both from Austria. The 1896 portfolio contains a total of fifteen images, including, in addition to the skeletal forms of animals and human limbs, X-rays of carved cameos and an assortment of various materials such as metal, wood, glass, and meat. If the images are striking today they must have been doubly so when first published, only a few weeks after Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen made his discovery of X-rays public with his groundbreaking paper “On a New Kind of Ray”.

Messier 104 - The Sombrero Galaxy by Steven Rosenow Via Flickr: Not bad for 35 minutes’ worth of exposure. Say hello to my friend, the ‘Sombrero’ galaxy (aka Messier 104). I’ve waited five long years for this sucker. Tonight, I finally nabbed it! :) 35 one-minute exposures @ ISO3200 using a Nikon D5500 and a 10-inch Meade LX200. Stacked in Deep Sky Stacker and fine-tuned in Adobe Photoshop CS6. Aw hell yes. It feels GREAT to be back in the ol’ saddle again! <3
