Activity-wise, the Sun has been a bit disappointing in recent years. Here are a few decent sunspots for a change. Taken with a DSLR at the prime focus of a 200mm aperture Newtonian reflector. A Baader fliter was used.
This another first both in terms of galxies and the fact I was using remote desktop from the bedroom.
This is just a quick stack usinf lights and darks, I hadn't quite worked out the mode the camera should have been on for taking images with eosbackyard, turns out it's manuak not bulb for lights darks and bias.
M106 is at a distance of about 22 to 25 million light-years away from Earth.
It was discovered by Pierre Méchain in 1781.

This is my first time photographing the Orion Nebula through my Skywatcher telescope. It has been such fun processing the photos to reach the final image.
It is composed of...
26 stacked photos - ISO800 20 seconds
63 stacked photos - ISO800 25 seconds
24 stacked photos - ISO1600 20 seconds
The photos were stacked using Sequator and then processed in Affinity. A final touch in DeNoise.
I cannot wait for some more clear skies.
Como é bom fugir da poluição luminosa! Nebulosa Trífida (M20). Acho que esta é minha melhor captura de nebulosa até o momento. É uma região formadora de estrelas que mistura uma nebulosa de reflexão e uma nebulosa de emissão, misturando o azul e o vermelho. A foto foi tirada a partir de um local bortle 1/2, o @campingecachoeiradoscristais sem a necessidade de uso de filtros.
It's great to do astrophotography away from the light pollution! Trifid Nebula (M20). I think this is the best capture of a nebula that I made so far. This is a forming star region that mixes reflection and emission nebulae, with the blue and red colors. The picture was taken from a bortle 1/2 site, the @campingecachoeiradoscristais , without any filter.

Mais uma captura da M27, a nebulosa do haltere. Ela é grande no céu e bem brilhante, podendo ser vista pela ocular do telescópio e até algumas buscadoras como um brilho bem difuso, uma fumaça circular no céu. Capturá-la em imagens não é difícil, sendo um dos meus primeiros alvos quando estava iniciando. Agora fiz nova captura e muito melhor que a anterior. A foto foi tirada a partir de um local bortle 8.
Another capture of the M27, the Dumbbell Nebula. It's big in the sky and quite bright. It can be seen in a telescope and even some finderscopes as a circle of grey gas. Capture it is not hard at all, and it was one of my first targets when I was starting at the hoby. Now I made a new one and way better. The picture was taken from a bortle 8 site.

Lovely Jubbly. A beautiful asterism that you can clearly see with the naked eye. Binocular will show many stars.
This is my first attempt at this group and I am quite pleased with the result.

Inspirado pelo @galactic.hunter , eu resolvi tentar o meu mais longo projeto, diretamente de onde moro (bortle 8), em uma galáxia relativamente pouco brilhante, a M90 (NGC 4569 de 9.5 a 10.2 Mag). É possível ver muitas galáxias no lado esquerdo da galáxia ao centro. Foi um projeto que durou quase dois meses, entre vários dias de mau tempo ou de lua, os quais não fotografei. Remover os gradientes de poluição luminosa é bem difícil e acaba trazendo ruído pra foto. Embora tenha dado bastante trabalho, fiquei bem feliz com o resultado e irei com certeza ter mais projetos semelhantes, porque galáxias são simplesmente fantásticas!
Inspired by @Galactic.hunter , I did give it a try on my biggest project so far, directly from my house (bortle 8 city), in a galaxy not very bright, the M90 (NGC 4569 in sth between 9.5 and 10.2 Mag). We can see many more galaxies on the left of the main galaxy in the picture. It was a project that took almost two months and many days of bad weather or moonlight, which I couldn't do any pictures. Remove the gradients that I get from the city light polution it's really hard and brings the noise way up. It was not easy, but I'm really glad with the result and I'm definitey doing more projects like this in the future, because galaxies are mind blowing!

Ocultação de Marte do dia 05/08/2020! Passe para frente!
A primeira foto, a aproximação do planeta vermelho da Lua, claro, de forma aparente apenas para quem observa da terra.
A segunda foto, Marte já bem próxima da Lua. Neste momento, devido ao forte brilho da Lua, já não era mais possível observá-la a olho nu.
A terceira foto na verdade é um Gif, com imagens de trechos do planeta até que ele estivesse totalmente oculto pela Lua.
A quarta, é o vídeo acelerado do momento exato que capturei da ocultação do planeta vermelho.
Todas as fotos foram feitas com Sky-watcher 200p e Canon T7. A primeira foi foco direto, as outras capturas foram em projeção ocular 4mm.

First real attempt at a galaxy other than the Andromeda one.
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 23 million light-years away from Earth.
Se você conhece ao menos um pouco do céu, conhece ou já ouviu falar da estrela Sirius. É a estrela mais brilhante do céu. E um fato interessante é que ela não é apenas uma estrela, são duas: Sirius A e Sirius B. Elas estão relativamente próximas à terra (8,6ly). A que vemos a olho nu é a Sirius A, mais quente e 1,7 vezes maior que nosso Sol. Sirius B é bem menor e leva aproximadamente 50 anos para completar uma volta ao redor de Sirius A. Estamos no período em que as estrelas estão mais afastadas, o que nos permite captar imagens de ambas, sem que a luz de Sirius A se misture com a luz de Sirius B. Logo farei imagens dela com um telescópio refrator, assim espero que a separação delas fique mais clara, sem os spikes (cruz).
If you know a little of the nightsky, you know or heard of Sirius star. It's the brighest star in the nightsky. An interesting fact is that it isn't a single star, but two: Sirius A and Sirius B. They are relatively next to the Earth (8,6ly). We only see Sirius A with the naked eye and it is hotter and 1,7 times bigger than our Sun. Sirius B is smaller and takes aproximately 50 years to complete its orbit around its companion star. We are in a specific period of time that the two stars are apart from each other, which alow us to capture images from both of them, without Sirius A light merge with the light from Sirius B. Soon I'll be doing some pictures with a refractor telescope and I hope that the separation between them become more appearent without the refraction spikes.

The best 80% of 63 separate (Canon EOS 7D + Sky Watcher Explorer 200P on EQ5 Mount coupled via T-Ring) images.
Each image was taken at ISO1600 and 0.3s exposure. The SWE 200P gave the EOS 7D the equivalent of a 1000mm lens @ F=5.0. With hindsight 0.3s was a bit too long an exposure as the stars have that oval look about them. I don't have a tracking capability on the EQ5 Mount ...... Yet.
The images were taken on the 22nd March 2015 from our back garden Witney in Oxfordshire. Seeing conditions that night weren't all that great, the day had been quite warm for the time of year and it was still cooling down.
The images were stacked using Deep Sky Stacker and then gently post processed by adjusting the brightness and contrast levels using Photoshop Elements 8. Didn't want to over do it for fear of swamping out the trapezium (the tight cluster of four stars near the heart of the nebula).
Entre um alvo e outro na Chapada dos Veadeiros, resolvi testar essa galáxia, a Galáxia do Olho Negro (M64) e até que gostei do resultado. Obviamente foi pouco tempo de exposição, porém ainda consegui vários detalhes interessantes para uma galáxia como essa. A captura foi feita a partir de um local bortle 1/2, o @campingecachoeiradoscristais sem filtros.
In the time between targets in Chapada dos Veadeiros, I gived it a try on this galaxy, the Black Eye Galaxy (M64) and kinda like the result. It's obvious, it were few expositions, resulting in little time, but I managed to get interesting details for a galaxy like this. The picture was taken from a bortle 1/2 site, the @campingecachoeiradoscristais , without filter.

This is my second attempt at this target. The first was under bad seeing and exceptionally bad light pollution with masses of dew all over the kit!
Seeing conditions here are much better, so another stab with longer subs for the faint nebula that is the larger galaxy to the top (NGC7331 and is 48 million light years away) and the 5x smaller galaxies to the bottom (Stephens Quintet).
Você sabia que a Lua tem uma pequena rotação e não está sempre a mesma distância de nós? Buscando mostrar isso, em 2021 fiz esse pequeno projeto de capturar as luas cheias do ano, uma por mês. O clima obviamente não ajudou todos os meses, então consegui capturar 6 luas, sendo a primeira a superlua de abril (primeira superlua do ano, onde se encontrava a 363.300km de nós, o chamado perigeu) e finalizando em setembro (quando se encontrava a 405.500km de nós, o chamado apogeu). O resultado foi o vídeo acima. Consegui comprovar que existe diferença significativa no tamanho aparente da lua, bem como uma variação singela na posição de suas crateras, com uma leve rotação.
Nem todos os dias consegui fazer as fotos com o horário da noite em que a lua estava com a superfície 100% iluminada, então a diferença de iluminação que se vê nas luas é de menos de 1% e realmente faz diferença na iluminação do astro.
Todas as fotos foram feitas com uma Canon T7 em foco primário num telescópio Sky-Watcher 200p.

Nova captura do aglomerado globular Omega Centauri, NGC 5139. Dessa vez com um balanço de cor, na minha opinião, mais bem feito, já que aglomerados globulares têm estrelas mais velhas e, portanto, mais vermelhas e frias. Fiz mais para testar o corretor de coma, já que é um algo grande que toma todo o sensor da câmera. Precisando mexer ainda na distância do corretor...
New capture of the Omega Centauri globular cluster, NGC 5139. This time, the color balance is better in my opinion, since globular cluster are populated with old, redish cold stars. I made this to test my new comma corrector, because this object covers all the camera sensor. Still need to move it a little...
