Orion introduced a 50mm guide scope with a FL of about 160mm. I used it for this photo, not too bad for a really fast 50mm. About 900 video frames stacked and processed with RegiStax.

seeing through Earth's atmosphere is like being at the bottom of a pool looking at something above the water. The light gets refracted as it hits the different layers of atmosphere.

we also had some wind making the scope shake once or twice during the video

Athan shows his drawing of The Moon in this photograph.

Hm, not really a flat field, eh? But the fraction of a terminator is nice and sharp.

Birthday cake for a friend. Inspired by all the other planets cakes that are on flickr. :-)

Inside: chocolate cake, decorations made of marzipan. and lots of sugar colouring. *lol*

Took me ages to prepare but I'm pleased with the final result.

Jupiter with the moon Io popping out from the left side. I watched as Io first appeared from behind it.

NASA's Mars Perseverance rover acquired this image using its SHERLOC WATSON camera, located on the turret at the end of the rover's robotic arm.

This image was acquired on April 12, 2025 (Sol 1473) at the local mean solar time of 20:29:26.

Jupiter from 26th December 2012

These four photos were candidates for the 2008 Skepchick Calendars. #1 was the winner, and is September 2009's image. (Get your calendars at skepchick.org)

Poor seeing, and a little too early for Jupiter, but I wanted to get images of both planets using the same equipment. Uranus looks pretty small next to Jupiter.

This was cool, there were the planets in our Solar System, spread out down the street.

Taken with a webcam in my scope. A few thousand frames taken of which around 800 were used for this image.

I think! If you look very closely/magnify you can see 3 of the moons!

Venus visits the Sun from my front yard.

Seeing was good enough to use a 5X barlow with an 8" F/6 Newtonian. About 1400 frames from video stacked and processed with RegiStax.
