Forming a terminus to the Lunar Apennine Mountains to the left, deep lunar impact crater Eratosthenes emerges from the lunar night.

 

Numerous wrinkle ridges or lunar Dorsa are being highlighted nicely by the rising sun.

  

Eratosthenes itself has a diameter of 59km and is 3.6km deep.

  

Imaged with a Celestron C8 SCT and a ZWO290MM camera.

sh2-263 and vdB-38 are both nebulae located in the constellation of Orion. Sh2-263 is the red emission nebula and vdB is the blue reflection nebula. Both are located at the northern part of Orion, near the star Bellatrix

 

I haven't imaged a thing since early Nov 2020, nothing but clouds. March 2021 has given me a few clear nights. I'm surprised that everything still worked!

Skies were surprisingly clear during last Monday here (10.06.19) and a lovely moon was in the sky. So had to image!

 

The moon is just over 7 days old wih a phase of around 55% illuminated.

Well after weeks of processing I have finished my 18 panel mosaic of the Orion constellation. It still has a few issues to fix to get it to the way I would like but good for now. Hope you all enjoy and thanks for any constructive comments.

Bad seeing condition and bad collimation, from the balcony of my home.

There are a lots of artifacts as "onion rings" and ugly colors. Critics are welcomes.

LDN 1082 is a dark nebula in the constellation of Cepheus. It lies some @ 1200 light years away. The dust is illuminated by the stars behind it. For example the bright orange star in the upper right (with the boring name of Tycho 4247-995-1), is @ 1570 light years away.

 

I started to image this one month ago and finally had a clear night to finish up. Wish I could've collected more data, but it's never clear anymore :(
