Photo of the Day 24th March 2025.

RG333/G-AIEK, Miles M.38 Messenger 2A, in RAF colours as worn by the personal liason aircraft used Field Marshall Montgomery, taxiing out for a display flight at Manchester Barton during the annual air show, some time in the 1990s.

Side view of a small, single propellor-engined light aircraft with 3 tail-fins, an olive green and brown camouflage scheme on the top surfaces, and a yellow belly and all lower surfaces, taxiing from right to left on grass. There are "D-Day Stripes" (white-black-white-black-white bands) around the wings just outboard of the fixed undercarriage and rear fuselage. There is a red shield with a yellow outline and a large black cross in the centre with crossed swords on the planes nose, red, white, and blue roundels visible under the wings, a red, white, and blue fin flash on the leading edge of the inner and outer faces of the outer tail-fins, and a British flag over 4 gold stars on the central fin. A man can be seen sitting in the pilots seat through an open cockpit window. Short green grass fills the foreground, leading up to bushes and trees at the airfield perimeter in the distance, under cloudy grey skies.

The flaming star nebula
==========================

I captured this image about a week ago and, while processing, had to find out that there‘s a huge white flare overlaying the whole image. Capturing deep sky at full moon is a bad idea already, but this time, I was too close to it and got a massive moon light leaking into my scope. The data went straight to trash. But I just had to try recovering it. So after a LOT of Photoshop trickery, I ended up with an acceptable image :)
