Rehash of my astrophotos from the last year. This is my version of fireworks in the sky to celebrate Diwali. Wish you all Happy Diwali and a prosperous New Year!

Those who have seen these before, please forgive me for posting them again.

Here they are in no particular order…

M13: The great globular star cluster from Hercules

Double star Alberio from Cygnus

One of them is blue and the other one is orange-yellow. I have ovrexposed this intentionally to bring out the colors.
