This gas station in Nelson Ghost Town appeared briefly in "3000 Miles to Graceland" with Kevin Costner. Here, it's lit up rather strangely at night. To create this night photo, I set the camera on a tripod. I opened the camera shutter for a long time. While the shutter was open, I walked around with a handheld ProtoMachines LED2 light capable of producing different colors, and illuminated the scene. During the exposure, all the light I shined on the subject was cumulative. This process is called "light painting." Why? Because one uses the flashlight as a paint brush, "brushing" on light, not paint. Light painting to illuminate subjects is a beautiful, addictive art, as you can walk around the scene, deciding what to bring to light and what to keep in shadow. And it's more fun than AI-generated images. This was photographed while Tim Little and I were teaching a night photography workshop at Nelson Ghost Town in Nevada and Goffs, CA, along Route 66.

I found out from Wikipedia that this distant object is called Sarah's Galaxy. I find this name more appropriate than the ordinary and vulgar one that people call it. Sarah's Galaxy refers to Sarah Williams, who wrote this poem that is all me now:

"Though my soul may set in darkness, it will rise in perfect light;
I have loved the stars too truly to be fearful of the night."
The Old Astronomer

Seen edge-on, NGC 3628 is known to be a spiral galaxy. However, its profile is odd. Looks thick to me, and its extremes look thicker. I assume this oddness is due to its many interactions with its neighbors, which form the famous Leo's Triplet.

Gestern Abend war der Himmel wieder ziemlich klar, so dass ich spontan nachgeschaut habe, von welchem Deep-Space-Objekt ich mal eine Aufnahme versuchen könnte. Bei meiner Recherche bin ich auf den Rosettennebel (Caldwell 49) gestoßen, in dessen Zentrum sich der offene Sternhaufen NGC 2244 (Caldwell 50) befindet.
