Miguel Claro captured a stunning deep space image of the Orion Constellation, highlighting its reddish hydrogen alpha emissions and features like Barnard's Loop, using a specialized setup over multiple nights from Portugal, showcasing the nebulae and star-forming regions in vivid detail.
Photographer Miguel Claro captured stunning images of the 2023 Geminid meteor shower from Portugal's Dark Sky Alqueva Reserve. Using multiple cameras over two nights, Claro documented over 100 meteors, creating a composite image showing the shower's radiant in the Gemini constellation. The photos also feature the Milky Way and constellations, with prints available for purchase.
Professional photographer Miguel Claro captured a stunning image of the Veil Nebula, also known as the Cygnus Loop, which was formed when a massive star exploded 10,000 years ago. The nebula, located in the constellation of Cygnus, is about 1,400 light-years away from Earth and spans roughly 70 light-years across. Claro's image showcases the intricate filaments of glowing ionized gas, with reddish hues representing atomic hydrogen gas and blue-greenish hues representing atomic oxygen gas. The image also includes other nebulae such as the Witch's Broom Nebula and Fleming's Triangular Wisp. Claro specializes in astrophotography and is known for his breathtaking images of the night sky.
Photographer Miguel Claro captured a stunning high-resolution image of the Milky Way's dusty heart at the Dark Sky Alqueva Reserve in Portugal. The image showcases the dark center of our galaxy and the glowing gas clouds, including well-known nebulas such as the Lagoon Nebula and the Prawn Nebula. The photo also features a reflection nebula and a prominent star near the galactic center. Claro used a modified Canon 6D camera and a 300mm lens to capture the image.
Astrophotographer Miguel Claro captured an incredible timelapse of the sun's activity, showing eruptive prominences, filaments, active regions with minor flares, small spicules, and a delicate waved line of plasma floating above the sun's surface. The video, compressed from three terabytes of raw data, provides a mesmerizing view of the sun rotating over three hours, showcasing the power and beauty of our nearest star.
Professional photographer Miguel Claro captures stunning time-lapse footage of the sun, showcasing eruptive prominences and minor solar flares in motion. The sequence, captured over 3 hours and 20 minutes, reveals the sun's raging fire and intricate details. Claro used a Lunt telescope LS100 and a Player One Saturn-M SQR camera, generating 3 terabytes of data. Viewers are reminded to never look directly at the sun without proper safety filters.
