New version, Cirrus of Cygnus




I made a new version out of this area in constellation Cygnus. This is one of my favorite images, there is something in this image but I can't really put my finger on it...

This is a small part of large image from this area. Original image and details can be seen here:

NOTE. The "noise" in this image is not a noise but countless number of stars!

Tulip Nebula, Sh2-101, a study about the scale in a sky


This time I'm zooming from 23 to 0,5 degrees of sky at the direction of the Tulip Nebula, Sh2-101 in Cygnus.

I have shot many targets with several focal lengths. Due to that, I will publish some of my material as image sets, with a different field of view and level of details. The fractal nature of our universe stands out nicely in this way and it will make the orientation more easy.

Many times, it's difficult to understand the image scale of astronomical images.
Therefore I have added a "Moon circle" in the images to show the angular scale in the sky. The full Moon has an angular size of ~30 arc minutes, that's equal to ~0,5 degrees.

Astro Anarchy, now in Facebook



I have opened a Facebook account, you are welcome to follow my addiction to astronomical imaging!

I will publish my new material here in my blog, as usual. In addition, I'll update my Facebook status regularly. My Facebook pages are not so much for personal information but they'll work as a publishing channel for my astronomical images.

My image portfolio, with all of my images, can be found here: http://astroanarchy.zenfolio.com/



The imaging season has not started yet, up here at 65N.
I'll start to post new material in mid-September, when we'll have enough astronomical darkness.
Before that, I'll publish some of my experiments with older material.

Cygnus zoom in series, the "Crescent Nebula, NGC 6888



Due the high latitude, 65N, deep sky astronomical imaging can't be done up here yet.
Instead I made an other  zoom in series from my older material to show the apparent scale in the sky.

This time I'm zooming from 23 to 0,3 degrees of sky at the direction of NGC 6888 in Cygnus.

I have shot many targets with several focal lengths. 
Due that, I will publish some of my material as an image sets, with different field of view and level of details.

An exhibition, Astro Anarchy get published



An photographic exhibition, 28.05 - 31.08. in Oulu, Finland
Every day between 9.00 - 18.00 in Terveystalo, ODL, Albertinkatu 16

 This is a joint exhibition with my friend Esa Jormakka, an orthopedic doctor and nature photographer.


A panoramic view


Opening day was at 28.05. 2012 in my home town Oulu. A private hospital, Terveystalo, offered the bottom floor for exhibition area. It's a great place, with lots of natural light, at very center of city. If you'll like to take a visit, the address is Albertinkatu 16. The exhibition will be open whole Summer up to 31.08.2012, every day between 9.00-18.00

Random images from the exhibition
Images from the exhibition by Esa Jormakka





The artwork at center is about 1,8 meters high and 1,1 wide ( 6 x 3,7 feet)




High wall of main lobby, with panoramic images, the top most artwork is Four meters long. (13,3 feet)


The Moon, center image is 2,5 meters long. (8,3 feet)





Both images are 1,5 meters long ( 5 feet)


Yours truly at Right...


Ps.


Special thanks to,

Uniikki kirja (an unique book)




NEW, versions in English and Finnish

Kun taivas ei ole rajana  
 J-P Metsävainio, kuvia taiteen pimeältä puolelta

 When the sky is not a limit
J-P Metsävainio, the dark side of art


Kirja astronomisista kuvistani. Numeroitu, singeerattu, sarja. Maksimipainos 99 kpl.
Book from my astronomical images. Numbered and signed series, max. print volume, 99 books.


Kuva kirjan kannesta, A3 kokoinen, aukeama 85 cm leveä
The cover of the book, an opened book is 85 cm wide. (34 inch)


  • Kovakantinen, kiiltolaminointi, laminated hard cover
  • Sisäsivut tukevaa 200 g/m² satiinipintaista taidepaperia, printed on thick art quality paper
  • Koko A3, 42,5 x 30,5 cm, aukeama muhkeat 85 cm leveä, size 17x12 inch, opening is 34 inch wide!
  • 120 sivua ja yli 200 kuvaa, 120 pages and over 200 images
  • Kokealaatuinen väripainatus, väriprofilointia käytetty, joten lopputulos vastaa täysin tarkoittamaani, high quality color calibrated print
  • Kirjan alussa tiivis tietopaketti kuvaajasta, tähtikuvauksesta, tekniikasta ja väreistä, An information baggage about the imager, astrophotography and techniques used.
  • Jokainen kirja kuvaajan singeeraama ja numeroitu tyyliin 1/99, every book is signed and numbered
  • Toimitusaika. kaksi - kolme viikkoa, delivery time two-three weeks 
  • Ainoa sarja, uutta samanlaista ei tehdä ja painotiedosto tuhotaan, kun 99 kirjaa on myyty, unique series, when 99 copies are printed, the original print file gets deleted.
Kyseessä on uniikki taideteos, ei bulkkina painettava kirja. Joku saattoi nähdä Oulun Tähtipäivien taidemuseon näyttelyssä esillä olleen satasivuisen koevedoksen. Tämä versio on tarkistettu ja siinä on 120 sivua ja yli 200 kuvaa, 200 grammaiselle taidepainopaperille vedostettuna ja kovissa kansissa.

This book is an unique art work, not a bulk printed book. The price is higher for that reason. (Normally a 40x30cm art quality print from my images will cost 150 Eur.)

Hinnasta tulee tietysti aika korkea tällä tavoin tehtynä, toisaalta kyseessä on graafinen taideteos, ei tavallinen kirja. Periaatteessa yhden-kahden rajatun sarjan valokuvavedoksen hinnalla saa 120 kpl niitä...


Kirjan hinta on 475€, sisältäen verot ja postikulut Suomeen
Yhteydenotot sähköpostitse osoitteeseen jp.metsavainio@gmail.com

IC 410 in Auriga, the scale in a sky




I made this zoom in series to show the actual size of this object in the sky.
I have placed a white circle, at lover Left corners, in the image series below. It shows the angular size of the full Moon in the sky. Moon has an apparent diameter ~30 arc minutes, that's equal to 0,5 degrees.
