Description:
This comet has been touted as the brightest in a generation. The last comet that I can remember being this bright was Comet Hale-Bopp in 1997, which was undoubtedly the best comet that i will have seen in my lifetime.
This visitor to the inner solar system was discovered on March 20 this year by astronomers during the NEOWISE mission of the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) space telescope (hence the name of the comet). It reached naked eye visibility this month, and I finally got into a dark sky - with no Moon in the sky to wash out the fainter outer reaches of the tail - on July 17.
In this view we see the bright head of the comet at the bottom near the horizon, with the broad yellowish dust tail fanning out to the right, and the fainter, narrow bluish plasma or ion tail bordering the dust tail to the left.
At the time of this photo, Comet Neowise was 78 million km (0.52 astronomical units ("AU") - the distance from Earth to the Sun) from the Sun, and 109 million km (0.73 AU) from Earth, and shone at a brightness of third magnitude, with a 10 degree tail.

This huge galaxy--200,000 light years across--that's twice the size of the Milky Way, is approximately 130 million light years away in the direction of the constellation Aries. It is referred to by some authors as “The Nautilus Galaxy.” Its unusual shape is caused by gravitational distortion due by the much smaller NGC 770 galaxy immediately above and to the right. There are an astounding number of other galaxies in this image as well. It is probably the most distant object I've ever tried to image.
Captured at the General Nathan Twinning Observatory in Belen, New Mexico on October 25th and 29th using a C11 HD with f/7 focal reducer, an ASI1600mm camera, ASI L, 7 nm R, G and B filters and a Losmandy G11 mount. 24 x 300” luminance subframes and 12 x 300” each or R, G and B were combined using PixInsight and further processed in PS CS2.

I highly recommend opening the full version to take a closer look at some of the finer details revealed by the large integration time. A starless copy is also provided to show off fainter detail.
This incredibly detailed image of the Rosette nebula was created from more than 110 hours of exposure across three continents — Europe, USA, and Oceania. We combined 1064 subframes and 6791 minutes of exposure to reveal faint details previously masked by lower amounts of data. The high exposure time also allowed us to sharpen fine features, giving the image more contrast and revealing more fine structures.
On the top of the image lies a wispy structure of bok globules and dust, framed by the glowing ionized gas behind it. The center of the image displays the faint particle streams created by sulfur and oxygen gas blown away from the bright cluster of stars. Just below the center of the rosette nebula lies a beautiful mountain-like structure created by sulfur and hydrogen gas. Through the center of the image, faint wisps of glowing sulfer gas are visible above the dominant oxygen gas.

This image of NGC1499 was generated from the monthly image data given to iTelescope subscribers. The data was captured on their T80 telescope at E-Eye Fregenal de la Sierra on 27/10/2023.Because so few files had already been calibrated, the master files were created in AstroPixelProcessor before being processed in Pixinsight. The image is made up from 6 x LRGB 180s subframes giving a total integration time of 1.2 hours.
Our closest neighbor, the Andromeda Galaxy.
Another shot made with the new telescope OS Veloce RH200.
Also this image is a quite short expusure of the subject in a 4.5° field of view.
LLRGB made with all 10min subframes time are 30:30:30:30. A car passed during the exposure so a subtle reflection in form of an arch is visible on the image... What a pity.
Thanks for watching!
Full write up here: theastroenthusiast.com/a-luminous-m101-with-outer-spiral-...
Big, beautiful spiral galaxy M101 is one of the last entries in Charles Messier’s famous catalog, but definitely not one of the least. About 170,000 light-years across, this galaxy is enormous, almost twice the size of our own Milky Way galaxy. M101 was also one of the original spiral nebulae observed by Lord Rosse’s large 19th century telescope, the Leviathan of Parsontown. M101 shares this modern telescopic field of view with more distant background galaxies, foreground stars within the Milky Way, and a companion dwarf galaxy NGC 5474 (upper left). The colors of the Milky Way stars can also be found in the starlight from the large island universe. Its core is dominated by light from cool yellowish stars. Along its grand design spiral arms are the blue colors of hotter, young stars mixed with obscuring dust lanes and pinkish star forming regions. Also known as the Pinwheel Galaxy, M101 lies within the boundaries of the northern constellation Ursa Major, about 23 million light-years away. Its companion NGC 5474 has likely been distorted by its past gravitational interactions with the dominant M101.
I chose to dump a lot of integration time with longer subframes (28 hours worth of 3 minute frames) to try to reveal some of the fainter outer arms not shown in most astrographs. I think I succeeded quite well – you can see the three fainter arms take shape on the left side of the galaxy. Compared to my last image of M101, this is quite the improvement!

Finished in red with grey / black cloth upholstery, this particular example is described by the vendor as being in "good" condition with regard to its 998cc engine, four-speed manual gearbox, electrical equipment, interior trim, bodywork and paintwork. Stated to have covered "a genuine 24,000 miles from new" in the hands of "just two owners" and to have been with its first keeper for twenty-four years, 'YWE 680T' is further understood to have benefited from "a small of restoration work including a new rear subframe". While recent fettling has reportedly seen the Mini treated to "a new battery, clutch slave cylinder, rear shock absorbers and front brake shoes / cylinders". Riding on correct-type steel wheels, this low mileage Mini is offered for sale with "owner's handbook, price list when new, spare keys (with original dealer fob), MOT certificate valid until April 2011 and road tax valid until September 2010"."

IC 443, commonly known as the Jellyfish Nebula, is a supernova remnant located in the constellation Gemini about 5,000 light-years from Earth. It gets its name due to its peculiar shape, resembling a jellyfish floating in space. IC 443 is the result of a massive star explosion that occurred thousands of years ago leaving behind a cloud of gas and dust that spans approximately 70 light-years across. The bright star on the left is Eta Geminorum aka Propus and is part of a triple star system.

I think this could sum up a lot of emotions right now as our world is stood still but working together for the greatest cause.. it is such a strange and weird time - it’s almost like your body has been granted the rest it’s been craving, you’ve been unplugged from the mains and the subframe you were running and given a chance for repairs - and that is truly how I felt at the beginning of this lockdown.
This week would be a month for me in lockdown and it’s been so surreal, it’s been a weird mix of trying to understand what I am meant to do with my life now... enjoying the rest but worrying and overthinking about everything that’s not happening or not going to happen and one point at the beginning just feeling like shutting down.
However I have such a wonderful support network and I’ve been to be more in control now I’ve got used to the idea of having to stay indoors. And like me I know that each of you reading this are going through your own process - but that’s okay! You don’t need to be at someone else’s stage in this process - live each day to your fullest - do what you feel you can and want to do! There is no right or wrong in this!
One thing I do have to say though is that this is a weird feeling knowing that the next series of images that will be coming out by me are all of me! I don’t do self portraits a lot but this I see as creative challenge ☺️ and this is the first image I got to edit using Adobe lightroom! I’m certainly starting to branch out my creativity and I can’t wait to see how it goes 🙌
Let me know what you think and what you’re doing to stay sane ☺️

- The separate partial F-body frame chassis with self-supporting body with front subframe has a 108.2 inch wheelbase, a bulge in the hood (to create more space for the turbo), recirculating ball VPAS steering, a special bird decal on the hood, turbo graphics on the hood and deck lid spoiler, front trapezoidal wishbones, independent coil spring front suspension with sway bar, longitudinal semi-elliptic rear suspension with anti roll bar, telescopic shock absorbers all round, special disc wheels, tire size P225/70 R 15, ventilated hydraulic servo disc brakes at the front and powered hydraulic drum brakes at the rear.
- A “Yellow Bird” package, an electronic-tuned stereo radio with a four-speaker system, a new dark blue interior color, and new seating which came in five colors were optional.
- The second generation Firebirds were assembled at plants in Van Nuys (California) and Norwood (Ohio). Norwood used lacquer based paint while Van Nuys used water based paint , due to California's tightening pollution regulations. The water based paint often failed and delaminated during the warranty period and subsequently, cars had to be repainted.
This extends the map of the previous image of Sadr pictured below. Sadr now is the bright star near the bottom. The hazy nebula at the top is the butterfly.
This image is made from 842 separate images called subframes. Each subframe is ten seconds long. Seestar started taking the pictures at 10:54 PM and ended the next morning at 3:48 AM. The total amount of exposure time was 2 hours and about 20 minutes, but because of processing time and dropped frames it took nearly five hours. It took Siril the software used in assembling the images about 2 hours and 12 minutes to put all the individual overlapping images in place.

Special:
- The body, based on Typ 3 platform (VW 1500/1600) and for that called „große Karmann-Ghia“ / „big Karmann-Ghia“ in Germany, was restyled by Sergio Sartorelli from Carrozzeria Ghia SpA, Turin - Italy, but built by Karmann in Osnabrück - Germany.
- The Typ 34 was the flagship model of the entire Volkswagen line. It was the most expensive Volkswagen available (handcrafted body), the fastest, and the most luxurious (built-in fog lights, cigar lighter, electric clock, locking steering column, front & rear vent windows, variable wiper controls and luxurious interior).
- Initially, this would replace the original Type 14 Karmann Ghia, but later it was decided to assemble both types at the same time.
- Sales went bad because Type 34, nicknamed “Razor-Edge Ghia” in the UK, was almost as expensive as a Porsche 356 and it was not offered officially in the USA. But nowadays the USA has the largest number of known Typ 34’s Karmann Ghia’s left in the world (400 of the total 1,500 (officially registered) to 2,000 or so remaining.
- Currently, less than 1500 are worldwide registered at the “VW Type 34 Karmann Ghia Registry”, San Diego, California - USA.
- Production figures from Convertibles differences, but it is very likely that 12 vehicles (prototypes and zero-series) were built at Karmann in Osnabrück. Some sources mention 17 prototype units.
- Lorenz Karosserie GmbH, Wetter an der Ruhr, Northrhein Westfalen - Germany converted Coupé’s into Convertibles on customer request. There should have been about 20 Lorenz Convertibles.
