With Ultra Fractal software and a ton of experimentation, you can find most anything inside the Mandelbrot or Julia sets.

Is anyone able to confirm this? It could be a hot pixel, this is a 4 second exposure at ISO400. "The Sky" shows it right there.

The planets of our Solar System, captured in 2019 and 2020 with an 80mm refractor and a DSLR.

 

Camera: Canon T3i

Telescope: Explore Scientific ED80 f/6.0 Apochromatic Refractor

Barlow: Antares 3x Triplet Barlow (effective magnification is 4.932x for 2373mm focal length at f/29.66)

Mount: Orion Sirius EQ-G

 

Mercury, the closest planet to the Sun, is continuously blasted by solar radiation but lacks an atmosphere. Thus, it has daytime temperatures of 800°F (427°C) and nighttime temperatures of -280°F (-173°C). flic.kr/p/2ksSrQn

 

Venus, the 2nd planet, has the hottest surface temperature in the Solar System with an average of 867°F (464°C). This is the result of a runaway greenhouse effect. Inevitably, Earth will suffer a similar fate. flic.kr/p/2j1fbct

 

Mars, the 4th planet, once had a dense atmosphere with a warm climate and liquid water oceans like Earth. Today, Mars is a barren wasteland and its vast quantities of water have been frozen in time for billions of years. Mars has 2 tiny moons which are captured asteroids. flic.kr/p/2k1UJTt

 

Jupiter, the 5th planet, has 79 known moons. Its atmosphere is separated into several bands at different latitudes, resulting in turbulence and storms along the boundaries. flic.kr/p/2hwoy7F

 

Saturn, the 6th planet, has 82 known moons and a prominent ring system. Its largest moon, Titan, is the only other place in the Solar System with bodies of surface liquid (rivers, lakes, and seas). flic.kr/p/2jkbowD

 

Uranus, the 7th planet, has 27 known moons. It has the coldest atmosphere in the Solar System, with temperatures of -371°F (-224°C). flic.kr/p/2ktPAr6

 

Neptune, the 8th and farthest planet, has 14 known moons. It has the strongest winds in the Solar System, measured at 1,300 mph (2,100 kmh). Neptune is the only planet discovered by mathematical prediction rather than direct observation. flic.kr/p/2ktPAtL

Lunar surface captured with C9.25 telescope and ZWO ASI120mm-s camera

Solar system objects imaged during the past year.

Equipment used Celestron cpc9.25 ZWO ASI 224mc except for the Mercury transit image which was a Skywatcher Skymax 150pro with the same camera.

No clue on the artist.

As seen 2 days after opposition.

A low target from my latitude this year and my 150mm of aperture struggles to resolve banding or even the Cassini division.

Another shot of the lunar eclipse and super blood moon, taken in the early hours of 28 September. The photo was captured using my QHY8L camera and Altair Wave 115ED telescope.

Image captured with 71mm F/4.9 telescope and Canon XSi, 1 second exposure at ISO800.

In the northern part of North America, an occultation could be seen of Mars behind the Moon. In my location the Occultation did not occur. Mars is very faint next to the bright Moon although visually it was very bright and clear. This explains a little why we don’t see stars in astronomical images. Currently Mars is brighter than Sirius the brightest star in the night sky. Had to place a sign so people can see it.

Capturing Mercury this month has allowed me to put together this montage of the five naked eye planets imaged through my Nexstar Evolution 9.25. Planets are shown with size relative to their apparent size on the capture date. Venus looks so big when it's a crescent! I hope to get a better image of Jupiter this year now that it's rising higher in the sky.

Capturing Sunspot on my iphoneXR through Celestron Cometron 7x50 Binocular is really tough now those two solar filter caps by Thousands Oaks on bino will serve the purpose of solar astronomy (visual astronomy) like solar eclipse and sunspots. I will be buying a Thousand Oaks sheet for my Meade Infinity 80mm refractor for better view of sunspots till then enjoy this view.

Lunar Eclipse on May 16, 2022 from Italy

The early hours of May 16, 2022, was not an easy eclipse. The Moon was well below the threshold of good resolution due to an annoying haze and the progressive absorption effect operated by the atmosphere, well perceptible during the advancement of the phenomenon.

Having taken standard shots, normalized automatically, the brightness is indicative of these factors with the addition of the light of the incipient dawn.

The first shot is with the Moon still completely out of the shadows. Then there are some shots during the penumbral phase, in which there is a progressive shading of the advancing side. With the beginning of the partial phase, all the shots are equally spaced until the last one, when the Moon was no longer visible even by extending the exposure.

Please note that the images were taken from Italy (coordinates in the localization TAG).

All shots were taken with Tair-3S (unit 2) + 2x Panagor telephoto lens on Kodak EOS 4000D (body2) at 200 ISO - 1/400s. Tracking was guaranteed by an EQ5. Other data in the EXIFs.

Jupiter imaged on 6th February when at opposition

8" SCT f/10, 2.5x Powermate, ASI120mm Camera RRGB

 

The quality of the image has suffered at the higher magnification of the powermate as conditions were quite poor.

Jupiter on May 14th 2020 at 0810.1UT. My first try imaging Jupiter this year. Seeing was average for my location with below average transparency and some light upper air winds at times. The moon Europa can be seen passing over Jupiter with Ganymede on the right.

Captured with a Mewlon 210 and QHY5lll 290C camera. Registax for stacking and processing.
