I believe the "Finder Scope" is a 6x30 (6 times magnification, 30 mm main lens). []CORRECTION: It appears the finder scope is a 9x50 - I measured the main lens, it's 50 mm. It was not standard with the Star Hopper, I upgraded to it.]

NGC 1055 is the edge-on spiral galaxy located in the left of this image. It is estimated to be 52 million light years away. It was discovered in 1783 by William Herschel.

M77 is the barred spiral galaxy on the right. It is about 47 million light years away. It was discovered in 1780 by Pierre Mechain and later added as number 77 to Charles Messiers' catalog of "not a comet" objects.

- not as sharp as when using the ASI174MM with the 4x Powermate and RGB filters, but for quick capture times, on a fast rotating planet I aint complaining :D - I do like how the OSC captures the colours of Jupiter (straight off the bat), I have pretty much left the colour balance as it was when captured

4 planets yesterday, 21 Aug 2021. Missed Mars, already behind the tree line.

All in the correct relative size to each other. North celestial pole is up.

Cloudy condition for Jupiter and Saturn. Venus was OK, Mercury was too low for steady seeing.

Jupiter 13th Sept 2022(22:27 UT) showing Ganymede in transit and casting it's shadow, poor seeing conditions and thin cloud. This image consists of three images combined in Winjupos (best 3,000 frames each), 10,000 frames captured in 2.5 minutes for each AVI. I did capture 12 AVI's on this occasion but the poor conditions meant that only three were usable. Captured using Firecapture V2.7, Processed using Autostakkert V3.1.4, Registax V6 and Winjupos. Equipment used, Celestron C14 Edge HD, CGEPRO Mount, ZWO ASI224MC camera, Carl Zeiss 2X Barlow and ZWO ADC.

These are my shots taken on NASA's "Observe the Moon" night (Saturday, October 5) from Melbourne, Florida. I intended to capture the elusive Lunar X, and was able to do so between clouds and the moonset, approximately 1 hour after these captures.

"The Lunar X (also known as the Werner X) is a clair-obscur effect in which light and shadow creates the appearance of a letter 'X' on the rim of the Blanchinus, La Caille and Purbach craters.

The X is visible only for a few hours before the first quarter, slightly below the lunar terminator. Near to the X, the Lunar V is also visible, formed by Ukert crater and several other small craters." (Source: Wikipedia)

The complete image of the Waxing Gibbous Moon was captured at 11:55 pm using a 500mm lens with a 1.4x teleconverter (on a crop-sensor) for a focal length of 1120mm. The close-up is cut from an image captured at 11:47 pm using a Celestron 8SE telescope (8", 2032mm).

The reason for the Amici prism is that I don't like to stand on my head to focus. My next camera will have an articulating screen

NGC 2070, the Tarantula Nebula, and surrounding nebulosity in the Large Magellanic Cloud. The Tarantula is a massive area of star formation in another galaxy, the nearby LMC in the Local Group of galaxies the Milky Way belongs to. This object, despite being 160,000 light years away, is large and bright enough to see with the unaided eye, but it can be seen only from the southern hemisphere.

The images for this stack were taken January 17, 2019, under a program I uploaded to iTelescope, the robotic telescope subscription service with observatories around the world. This was with the 11-inch Celestron Rowe-Ackerman Schmidt Astrograph, T68, at the Bathurst Observatory in NSW. It is a stack of 8 x 30-second, 8 x 60-second, and one 2-minute exposure, all at f/2.2 with a ZWO 1600 one-shot color CCD camera. The short exposures add the bright core area, to prevent it from being blown out. However, I should have programmed in more long exposures, despite the fast f/2.2 speed of the RASA astrograph.

The different exposure sets are blended with luminosity masks. so the short exposures contribute just the bright areas — the nebula cores and bright stars.

The small rich star cluster at left is NGC 2100; the middle nebula of the complex at bottom is NGC 2077. The nebulas in the LMC seem to have a lot of cyan from oxygen emission and are not the deep red of more usual hydrogen-alpha nebulas in the Milky Way.

North is at top in this orientation, with east at left, to match the usual naked eye and binocular view as you view the LMC looking south. The camera’s long axis seems to be oriented north-south, not east-west. Plus being at the prime focus of the RASA astrograph raw images are flipped mirror image and so need re-flipping to make them match the sky.

This was my first iTelescope session and target, so the program of exposures was a test and experiment. But overall it worked OK. However, it took of month with a couple of reschedules due to cloud and other bookings on this popular telescope to get the images. The images were taken about 2 am local time in NSW, with the gibbous Moon low and setting. And it was a hot summer night in Oz! The field was at a fairly high alitude but perhaps some light haze added the glows and softened the stars – it’s hard to tell. The skycam seemed to show clear skies but some haze toward the horizon.

Pointing was by selecting the object name as the frame centre, but aiming and framing by coordinates would have produced a little better framing to include more of the complex of nebulosity at bottom. But not bad for a first attempt at an iTelescope robotic session.
