Today was some of the best solar activity I've seen in quite some time!

The Annular eclipse timelapse

Finally the complete sequence as imaged on October 14th during the total annular eclipse from Albuquerque New Mexico.

 

For three hours I tracked the Sun and the moon with a star tracker, taking a video every 30 seconds.

 

I used Sharpcap and all the tricks that I learned from the incredible solar imager Simon Tang to capture these images. I used the shortest exposure I could, 0.8ms, 70% histogram and shot 750 frames every 30seconds. The seeing ( atmospheric steadiness) was unlike anything I have every seen in all my days of solar imaging, clear crisp and steady…

 

The scope was a small and portable (lunt40mm), yet beautiful little H Alpha scope and I used an ASI planetary camera. While I don’t normally use the ASI174MM with this little scope, the large sensor allowed for a view of the full disk of the sun.

 

All images of the sun were processed inverted so the dark regions are the bright active solar regions and the sunspots themselves are actually white. The H alpha scope allowed me to capture significant detail in the Sun’s chromosphere during the eclipse. Bright solar prominences along the edge and solar filaments were also seen.

 

The sun is very busy as we are approaching solar maximum so there were at least 5-6 active sunspot regions visible

NGC 1365, also known as the Great Barred Spiral Galaxy,[3] is a double-barred spiral galaxy about 56 million light-years away in the constellation Fornax.

 

NGC 1365 is a barred spiral galaxy in the Fornax cluster. Within the larger long bar stretching across the center of the galaxy appears to be a smaller bar that comprises the core, with an apparent size of about 50″ × 40″. This second bar is more prominent in infrared images of the central region of the galaxy, and likely arises from a combination of dynamical instabilities of stellar orbits in the region, along with gravity, density waves, and the overall rotation of the disc. The inner bar structure likely rotates as a whole more rapidly than the larger long bar, creating the diagonal shape seen in images.

 

The spiral arms extend in a wide curve north and south from the ends of the east-west bar and form an almost ring like Z-shaped halo. Astronomers think NGC 1365's prominent bar plays a crucial role in the galaxy's evolution, drawing gas and dust into a star-forming maelstrom and ultimately feeding material into the central black hole.

 

NGC 1365, including its two outer spiral arms, spreads over around 200,000 light-years. Different parts of the galaxy take different times to make a full rotation around the core of the galaxy, with the outer parts of the bar completing one circuit in about 350 million years. NGC 1365 and other galaxies of its type have come to more prominence in recent years with new observations indicating that the Milky Way could also be a barred spiral galaxy. Such galaxies are quite common — two thirds of spiral galaxies are barred according to recent estimates, and studying others can help astronomers understand our own galactic home.

The Whirlpool Galaxy 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 23 Mly away from Earth.

The Crab Nebula is a supernova remnant in the constellation of Taurus. Corresponding to a bright supernova recorded by Chinese astronomers in 1054, the nebula was observed later by English astronomer John Bevis in 1731. The nebula was the first astronomical object identified with a historical supernova explosion.

The Whirlpool Galaxy, also known as M51, or 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.

Re-shot M31 using my ASI-294 on a clear and calm night near Natural Bridge, VA. Temps were about 30 degrees F, calm winds and very dry air. Seeing was great. New moon. SQM about 21.2 if I recall.

 

Details: 112.5 minutes with 2.5 minute unguided exposures using the Samyang 135 mm lens wide open at F2. Gain set to unity (120), temperature set to 0 C. Mount is Orion Atlas Pro. Used SharpCap for capture, PI for all processing.

 

Used HDR multiscale transform in PI to bring out more detail of dust lanes to fairly good effect. This image is cropped considerably from the original in order to see M31 in better detail.

Venere è il secondo pianeta in ordine di distanza dal Sole. Fotografando questo pianeta con le tecniche tradizionali e nello spettro visibile (dai 400 ai 700 nanometri circa) riusciamo ad apprezzarne, però, solo le fasi.

Se invece riprendiamo questo pianeta in ultravioletto (dai 300 ai 350 nanometri circa) ed in momenti di seeing quantomeno discreto, si può riuscire a scorgerne le nubi che compongono buona parte della sua atmosfera.

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.

Forse fra le regioni più belle e suggestive del nostro satellite: gli Appennini.

La catena si divide in due tronconi, una più a nord e una più a sud. Nel loro insieme coprono una distanza di oltre 600km, molto simili quindi agli Appennini Terrestri, ma qui, al loro interno, troviamo vette con un'altezza di oltre 4000m.

Nella foto è inquadrata anche la zona del Polo Nord Lunare, dove il Mare Frigoris separa i crateri più settentrionali dalla zona di Plato, la Valle Alpina e i due Aristotele ed Eudoxus, in alto a destra. Poco sotto la Valle Alpina giace il cratere quasi del tutto sommerso "Cassini" che fa da guardiano a Aristillus, Autolycus e Archimede. In fondo alla agli Appennini, immerso nell'ombra, si trova il cratere Eratostene, del quale si vede soltanto la parte orientale del bordo. In basso a destra nella foto si trova il cratere Manilius.

Questa zona è ricca di altri dettagli interessanti, primo fra tutti la "Rima Hadely", nella parte Nord degli Appennini Centrali, sito di allunaggio dell'Apollo 15.

Di sicuro una zona che non ci si stanca mai di guardare!!

Nébuleuse du croissant - NGC6888

La nébuleuse du Croissant (NGC 6888) est une nébuleuse en émission située dans la constellation du Cygne, à environ 5 000 années-lumière

Elle est issue des rapides vents stellaires créés par l'étoile Wolf-Rayet WR 136 qui poussent la matière issue de vents plus lents éjectés par cette même étoile lorsqu'elle était plus jeune et plus petite (de type géante rouge) il y a 400 000 ans. Le front de choc engendre ce que l'on nomme une bulle de Wolf-Rayet.
