Blake's Black Hole Bonanza in 5760x1080

Well, I promised / threatened to make this thread a while back and now that I am back in civilized space, recon its time to make good on it.

Came across the first one on accident if you will, simply a part of the 1000 Ly plotted route toward the center, started to play with it and, well, bacame addicted to them, afterwards i went out of my way to find more and here are some results of this Hunt.

First of, the Grand Dame of Black Holes Sagittarius A*

time to take off and pull the Tin Foil Hat tighter


Being out this far and long, playing with Black Holes can leave you a bit unnerved and paranoid, like things keeping an eye on you, so coming across this thing, did not help.

without the paranoia cropping, it was a planetary nebula behind it that got split like this on approach

another shot while leaving that one, the lensing of the nebula while still close to the hole

Speaking of Nebulas, Black Holes in ... er Nebula

This is one thing that's hard to capture on a still picture, the lensing effects near the holes and its what kept me coming back for more. here are some examples.

Guess I better bring this posting to a close, before y'all chuck me into the nearest Black Hole, without my Trusty Asp :p
I do hope you enjoyed those pictures of Black Holes and may encourage some fellow Explorers to go peek at some.

Wow CMDR Blake!!! This picture collection is incredible!!! Thanks for sharing I don't know how I missed it back in the days! Truly impressive!!

You might just have inspired me to start hunting black holes the same!!!

Repped!
 
Remind me to NOT visit this tread on my mobile ;)

LOL, yeah, it could be a bit hard on the data plan :p oh and also stay away from my other thread from that trip.. at least on your mobile :D

Right back at you, i still think the pictures don't truly do it justice, when you drop in on them, and leave, the lensing in motion is just amazing, awesome job there, my hat off to the FD team, if i would wear one :)
Do feel free to go hunt them, i came across the first one at random, and well, got addicted.

Real nice pics.

Is it just me, but doesn't Sag A* remind when you open a conker and it's one of the ones with twin conkers in it?

actually i thing Sag A needs a helmet. it keeps reminding me of this....
