Comet Tsuchinshan Atlas A3
10 minute exposure tracking the comet with SharpCap, 200 gain
AT60 at 227 mm focal length
AM5 mount in Alt/Az
This comet is exceptionally bright, long, and has a fantastic anti-tail pointing downward towards the sun. The anti-tail is dust the comet has left in its path as it moves away from the sun and is back illuminated.

M51 is a face-on spiral in Canes Venatici, near the tail of the Plough.
It was famously the first galaxy properly imaged, by Lord Rosse in 1845.
Its about 31 mly away and 77,000 ly in diameter and has an active galactic nucleus and is
one of the few galaxies that is naked-eye visible in dark skies.
Its companion, NGC5195, is actively being shredded by the larger galaxy.
In this photo you can see quite a lot of the fainter star-cloud extending beyond the two
spiral structures.
1h 9m captured with Sharpcap 4 and our H294C on an RC8. Guided.
Stacked in DSS 5.1.8 and processed in Pixinsight
I actually captured 3.5 hours data for this image, but due to the object's
relatively high altitude over two thirds of the data were trailed and unusable.

NGC 3938 is an unbarred spiral galaxy in the Ursa Major constellation. It was discovered on 6 February 1788 by William Herschel. It is one of the brightest spiral galaxies in the Ursa Major South galaxy group and is roughly 67,000 light years in diameter. It is approximately 43 million light years away from Earth. NGC 3938 is classified as type Sc under the Hubble sequence, a loosely wound spiral galaxy with a smaller and dimmer bulge. The spiral arms of the galaxy contain many areas of ionized atomic hydrogen gas, more so towards the center.
Five supernovae have been identified within NGC 3938.
-SN 1961U (type II, mag. 13.7) was discovered by Paul Wild on 28 December 1961.
-SN 1964L (type Ic, mag. 13.3) was discovered by Paul Wild on 11 December 1964.
-SN 2005ay (type II, mag. 15.6) was discovered by Doug Rich on 27 March 2005.
-SN 2017ein (type Ic, mag. 17.6) was discovered by Ron Arbour on 25 May 2017 and peaked at magnitude 14.9. Images taken before the explosion point to a progenitor mass between ~47-48M☉, if it was in a single star system, and ~60-80M☉, if it was in a binary star system.
-SN 2022xlp (type Ia, mag. 17) was discovered by Kōichi Itagaki on 13 October 2022.
18 Mar 2025, 04:46 UT; Spotsylvania, Virginia USA. Bortle 4.5 zone.

from Wikipedia
NGC 3489 is a lenticular galaxy located in the constellation Leo. It is located at a distance of about 30 million light years from Earth, which, given its apparent dimensions, means that NGC 3489 is about 30,000 light years across. It was discovered by William Herschel on April 8, 1784. NGC 3489 is a member of the Leo Group.
NGC 3489 has a weak bar, seen along the minor axis, and a small bulge. The age of the stellar population in NGC 3489 shows a gradient, with the younger stars lying closer to the core. When observed in H-beta, the central arcsecond of NGC 3489 shows a peak, indicating the presence of younger stars at the core, whose age is estimated to be about 1.7 Gys. Although currently NGC 3489 is considered a post-starburst galaxy, there is still molecular gas in the nucleus that can lead to star formation, although its mass is less than what is found in galaxies with active star formation. In the nuclear region of NGC 3489 has been observed dust with an open spiral pattern. The galaxy has an outer ring structure, with a diameter of 1.54 arcminutes along the major axis.
NGC 3489 has an active galactic nucleus, which has been categorised based on its spectrum as a type 2 Seyfert galaxy or, based on the nuclear [O I] emission strength, which lies between that of H II nuclei and LINER, a transition object. This kind of transition emission could be attributed to post AGB stars located in the core. A supermassive black hole which accretes material in the centre of the galaxy is believed to be the cause of nuclear activity. In the centre of NGC 3489 lies a black hole with estimated mass (6±0.54)×106 M☉ based on velocity dispersion.

Single best frame out of 1150 frame video clip captured in SharpCap, preprocessed in PIPP and best extracted using AutoStakkert.
Postprocessed using Wavelets in Photoshop and Lightroom.
Data from two nights, 4/2/21 and 4/3/21, Raindrop Lane. 540 subs, 10 seconds each, gain 300, temp -20 C on 4/2/21. On 4/3/21: 19 subs x 3.5 min, gain 120 and 4 subs x 9 min, gain 120. Note that 3.5 min subs were recommended settings via SharpCap's "brain" analysis tool for greatest dynamic range. The 9 min subs were given by the "brain" as optimum when using unity gain.
I processed the 10 second data first. The calibrated stacked master from that data was essentially identical to the calibrated stacked master when adding in the longer exposure data. So the longer exposures surprisingly did not seem to add anything new.
Also, -20C is a tough temperature for my camera to sustain unless the external environment is already near freezing temps. Indoors the cam is not able to maintain this temperature.
The image is stunning. Pleased with it for sure. I may re-shoot this with an IR cut filter once the adapter is obtained.

LX5 10", f/10, focal image, LPI as Trust 14823 IRcutfilter, bad seeing , capture SharpCap, stack AviStack2
Taken using modified Microsoft Lifecam HD5000 attached to a Skywatcher Explorer 130m. 27 avi's taken consisting of 1000 frames each using SharpCap then avi's put through Registax 5. All 27 images then put through PaintShop to reduce saturation and all images then stitched together using Microsoft ICE.
This is my first ever attempt at doing a mosaic.
