Had about 10 minutes window to take this on 27 Aug 2017 at 20.30 BST, using ZWO ASI224MC Camera and Celestron NexStar 6 SE Telescope, using SharpCap.

 

Seeing conditions was quite poor and was getting very low in the sky.

Meu registro da ocultação, que ocorreu na noite de sábado (5) para domingo (6), quando a Lua ocultou Marte, um fenômeno que pôde ser observado a olho nu aqui do Brasil. Quem ficou acordado até tarde da noite olhando para o céu deve ter visto nosso satélite natural "aproximar" e depois "esconder" o Planeta Vermelho!

Sorvolo sulla zona nord orientale della Luna. Spiccano al centro Hercules e Atlas, rispettivamente di 71 e 87 km di diametro. I due crateri, se pur molto vicini fra loro, si presentano completamente diversi, infatti Hercules ha un fondo ricoperto quasi totalmente da una colata lavica, mentre Atlas è pieno di fratture.

In basso a destra i due crateri Cepheus e Franklin.

Più in alto invece troviamo Endymion, un cratere di 122km di diametro anch'esso con il fondo ricoperto di lava.

Sul bordo nord invece si intravede il Mare Humboldtianum e, grazie alla librazione favorevole, perfino le montagne sulle sponde opposte.

Nella parte sinistra della foto, spicca il cratere semisommerso Gartner con, all'interno, la rima Gartner.

Lo scopo dello scatto è quello di mostrare il bordo irregolare del nostro satellite, nonostante ci appaia ad occhio nudo come un "cerchio" quasi perfetto.

My best shot of the Lord of the Rings.

The luminance acquired with the new Ir pass ProPlanet 742 nm Astronomik filter is amazing when compared to previous UV-IR cuts.

Specifically, the notable details are:

- Ring C: the weakest ring located further inside.

- The bands that separate the equatorial, tropical, temperate and polar areas.

- Polar hexagonal storm: this is the feature I'm most proud of as it's the first time I've been able to solve this detail.

On 4-20-2020 I took about 5 hours of 7 minute exposures while testing my auto-guiding equipment. What results is my best image yet of the whirlpool galaxy.

 

The Whirlpool Galaxy, also known as Messier 51 is an interacting spiral galaxy. It lies in the constellation Canes Venatici, and was the first galaxy to be classified as a spiral galaxy. Its distance is estimated to be 23 million light-years away from Earth.

 

The galaxy and its companion, NGC 5195, are easily observed by amateur astronomers, and the two galaxies may be seen with binoculars.

 

Taken with the ASI1600mc attached to a Celestron 9.25 (focal reduced). Auto guide camera the asi290mc. Take with Sharpcap, PHD2 Guiding and stacked in Deepsky stacker.

A view of planet Mars on the 17 june 2016. The planet was about 20 degrees above the southern horizon. Visible here as a dark region at the top right of the image is Syrtis Major, with the vast light-colored region Arabia Terra occupying most of the center. These colorations correspond to different surface materials on Mars. The image was obtained using a f/10 SC11 telescope with a ZWO 120mm-s planetary camera fitted with a 2X barlow lens (hence f/20). Three 3-minute AVI captures were made around 02:45 UT using infrared, green and blue filters. The resulting images were combined to yield this single RGB image. Of the 16,169 infrared frames collected, only the best 3000 were used. Software used were SharpCap, VitualDub, AutoStakkert2, PixInsight and Photoshop CS3.

Une image de Mars réalisée le soir du 17 juin 2016, vers 02:45 TU. La planète se trouvait à quelques 20 degrés d'élévation dans le ciel du sud. On remarque en particulier la grande zone sombre à droite et en haut du disque de la planète: Syrtis Major. Alors que toute la partie centrale est occupée par la vaste région d'Arabia Terra. Ces différents coloris correspondent en fait à différents matériaux constituant la surface de la planète. Réalisé avec un télescope SC11 f/10 et une caméra planétaire ZWO 120mm-s munie d'un barlow 2X (donc f/20). L'image provient de trois captures AVI de 3 minutes chacune employant à tour de rôle un filtre infrarouge, vert et bleu. Les trois images résultantes ont ensuite été combinées pour produire cette image RGB. Des 16,169 clichés infrarouges obtenus, seuls les 3000 meilleurs ont été employés. Les logiciels utilisés sont SharpCap, VirtualDub, AutoStakkert2, PixInsight et Photoshop CS3.

The Whirlpool Galaxy, also known as Messier 51a, M51a, and NGC 5194, is an interacting grand-design spiral galaxy with a Seyfert 2 active galactic nucleus. It lies in the constellation Canes Venatici, and was the first galaxy to be classified as a spiral galaxy. Its distance is estimated to be 31 million light-years away from Earth.

 

The galaxy and its companion, NGC 5195, are easily observed by amateur astronomers, and the two galaxies can be seen with binoculars. The Whirlpool Galaxy has been extensively observed by professional astronomers, who study it to understand galaxy structure (particularly structure associated with the spiral arms) and galaxy interactions.

Calling this one "a tale of 2 terabytes". Definitely my largest Mosaic undertaking ever. A Waning Moon mosaic, imaged with a C11 XLT at its native 2,800mm and f/10 and an Altair 385c. Image consists of 60 panels, each panel is a stack of 2,500 frames (best 50% of 5,000 frames) so 150,000 frames in total, captured in SharpCap Pro, quality-ordered using PIPP, stacked in Autostakkert, stitched in ICE and processed inPhotoshop.

Gain=2500, Exposure=0.7320ms FPS=125.

Taken from Oxfordshire, UK on the afternoon of 3rd April 2023. Because it was mid-afternoon when I started imaging, conditions were not great, but there was some nice activity visible on the Sun, and sunspot group AR13270 was looking lovely in H-alpha.

 

Taken with a Coronado PST and ASI120MC camera fitted with a 2x Barlow. A 1,000 frame video was taken using SharpCap, then the best 30% or 50% were stacked depending on the quality graph.

Processing workflow:

RGB alignment in Registax 6

Sharpening using Focus Magic

Remove all colour + processing in Lightroom

False colour added back in using Photoshop CS2

Final tweaks & denoise using Fast Stone Image Viewer

Triton was copied from an overexposed image in my album taken at 00.00 UTC, and pasted onto standard version in PS, the Triton was shrunk and sharpened.

Taken on 1 June 2017 with ZWO ASI224 MC Camera, connected to Celestron NexStar 6 SE Telescope.

Video was captured by SharpCap, processed in Registax 6 and touched-up in PhotoShop, with overexposed Saturn (merely just a bright oval) cropped out.

 

Titan has a distinct yellowish orange colour, believed to consist of Tholins. However, its atmosphere consists mainly Nitrogen, but also small amounts of Methane, Ethane and Hydrogen.

After midnight, the Pleiades star cluster rises in the eastern sky. Calming my eager heart, I pointed my SAMYANG 135mm F2 lens at the Pleiades and stacked images over about an hour, spread across two nights. The reflection nebula around Merope and the dark, nebula-free grooves are beautiful.
