Presently Saturn is emergeing from the morning twilight with its rings nearly edge-on as viewed from Earth, which neans that the rings are almost invisible. This contrasts with the view of Saturn's rings that could be seen just two and a half years ago. This image is deliberatly over exposed to reveal three of Saturn's satellites.

Jupiter au télescope .
.
⌚ Il y a quelques semaines de cela, l’envie de tester la photographie planétaire s’est emparée de moi ! C’est une bonne occasion de sortir le télescope de Newton qui ne sert pas beaucoup en ce moment car plusieurs projets à la lunette astronomique sont en cours. J’en profite également car le temps est superbe ces derniers jours et avec la quasi pleine Lune, je n’ai que ça à faire en astro 😅.
.
Voici donc la planète Jupiter, c’est ma toute première image planétaire et je trouve ça assez satisfaisant comme niveau de détails malgré mon ouverture de 254mm . En effet, j’utilise mon télescope de Newton d’une focale native de 1000mm en y rajoutant un groupe de lentilles à pouvoir grossissant de x4, ce qui donne une focale finale de 4000mm . On tombe à un rapport F/D de f/16 ce qui est plutôt correct en planétaire. La plus grosse difficulté dans l’imagerie planétaire est de gérer la dispersion atmosphérique qui induit une frange de couleur rouge/bleue sur les bords de la planète. On arrive à contrer cet effet avec un “ADC” qui se place derrière la barlow x4, mais encore faut-il bien savoir le régler et c’est une tannée pour moi . Nous ne sommes pas gâtés dans la région car cet effet est bien accentué avec le “Jet stream” arrivant depuis la mer par l’Ouest et qui provoque des vents violents en haute altitude… La grande tâche rouge (GRS) de Jupiter est visible sur le bord inférieur droit, c’est un gigantesque anticyclone avec des vents soufflants à environ 700km/h !

Hop, un petit photomontage avec 2 photos du 15 janvier ... enfin, 2 photos ...
Attention, là, il s'agit bien du photomontage d'un astropaysage et non une photo reconstituée d'un astropaysage. La différence ? Dans le cas de la photo d'astropaysage, j'utilise le même cadrage (ou quasiment) et j'aligne d'une part les étoiles et empile les photos pour obtenir le ciel étoilé, puis d'autre part le premier plan (les étoiles devenant floues) pour avoir un premier plan. Ensuite je reconstitue les deux. Pour reconstituer l'astropaysage on est souvent obligé, lorsque c'est possible, de se décaler un peu en hauteur pour ne pas avoir le flou du paysage lorsqu'on aligne les étoiles. c'est ce que j'avais fait avec ma photo d'Orion et les sapins. Je fais en sorte en tout cas de respecter ce que donne une photo unitaire de pose courte (quelques secondes) avec premier plan et fond étoilés réunis.
Là, c'est différent : d'abord j'ai utilisé 2 cadrages photo indépendants, les deux pris le même soir au col du Liorin, l'un ciblant la Grande Moucherolle, l'autre la Lune. Ensuite, cette photo est impossible car la Lune en ce moment se lève bien plus tôt (de jour) et pas avec cet angle selon la grande Moucherolle. J'ajoute que, si on est observateur, on remarquera que les ombres ne sont pas bonnes (la Lune était bien plus haute à ce moment là. Et évidemment, il n'est pas possible d'avoir des traînées d'étoiles et la Lune nette en même temps. Mais bon, j'avais ces photos de la Lune et ces photos de la Grande Moucherolle ... on a bien le droit de s'amuser un peu non ?
Bon, ceci dit, ça reste du boulot et chacune des photos est le résultat d'accumulations. Les deux séries de photos ont été prises avec le même matériel (Canon 1200D, objectif Samyang 135 mm f/2 @f/3.5). La Lune a été prise à 200 iso au 1/2500 sec avec suivi astronomique avec une monture SW Star Adventurer. J'en ai pris 600 photos (pourquoi ? ben pour avoir des détails de la surface lunaire pardi !) que j'ai accumulées sous Autostakkert. Le halo provient d'une photo isolée. La Grande Moucherolle résulte de l'accumumation de 6 photos de 30 sec prises à 1600 iso, empilées sous Siril. L'ensemble des 4 calques (photo empilée de la Moucherolle, photo empilée de la Lune, photo avec halo de la Lune, signature) a été assemblé sous Gimp. J'ai utilisé quelques duplications de calque et masques de calques pour augmenter localement le contraste de la Lune par rapport à la photo avec halo. Vous aurez remarqué les traînées sur le ciel bleuté. Ce sont les trainées des étoiles qui ressortent car j'ai fait 6 poses de 30 secondes, chacune espacée de 5 secondes, soit 3 minutes 25 s. On voit donc leur déplacement sur le ciel pendant la pose pendant ces 3 minutes. Les traînées sont un peu hachurées car entre chaque pose, leur déplacement n'était pas enregistré pendant 5 secondes.
La full ici si vous voulez en faire un fond d'écran par exemple : www.flickr.com/photos/192650915@N08/shares/k23L3W
J'aime bien le résultat: c'est joli et ça fait rêver.

Saturn two days before opposition – 13 August 2022, 11.26 UTC
This is the closest I got to opposition as there has been no clear weather since.
Decided to give you my view from the Southern Hemisphere with the bottom of the photo being parallel to the horizon, rather than the more traditional view with Saturn’s North Pole at the top.
Three moons are visible being Tethys, Rhea, and Dione.

Quando la Luna è in una fase prossima al primo quarto si possono osservare alcune configurazioni ottiche situate nei pressi del terminatore, la linea che separa il lato notturno da quello diurno.
Quindi a nord è visibile la "V" causata dalla luce solare che lambisce il cratere Ukert e altri più piccoli, la "X" che si forma per la presenza dei crateri La Caille, Blanchinus e Purbach e infine anche una "L" situata più a sud.
Queste configurazioni si possono osservare in questa fase lunare solo per poche ore al mese.

This from 14 30 s SER files taken with a ZWO ASI224MC camera with 2x Barlow and a ZWO UV/IR cut filter through the C14 at Cerritos College. I used FIreCapture to take this data. SER files were used to create stacks of the best 28% of frames in AutoStakkert, and those stacks were processed in PixInsight. The resulting images were registered and derotated in WinJUPOS, with the result undergoing some final tweaks in GIMP.

Jupiter and Ganymede, photographed from my backyard in Long Beach, CA
30 s SER files were taken with a ZWO ASI120MM camera through Optolong CCD RGB filters on a Celestron Edge HD 925 telescope using FireCapture. The top 75% of frames went into 5 stacks of each color filter. These stacks were made in AutoStakkert, then sharpened in PixInsight. Stacks were combined and derotated in WinJUPOS, and the resulting R, G, and B images were combined in WinJUPOS to make a de-rotated single color image. Color balancing in Registax, then final touches in Photoshop.
Autostakkert didn't seem to pick up Ganymede in these images, thus rendering it featureless.

I've tried doing panos of the moon in the past but have mostly failed. I would never leave quite enough overlap between my frames for a pano to assemble properly leaving black gaps in the middle of my final image, or my focus would be off. This time, I took my time to ensure that I had plenty of overlap in each of my frames. And I'm quite pleased with the final result

This is from a series of SER files recorded with a ZWO ASI224MC camera in conjunction with a 2x Barlow, ZWO ADC, and ZWO IR cut filter. This was with the Celestron C14 at Cerritos College. Data was taken between 0857 and 0903 UT, with stacking in AutoStakkert, sharpening in PixInsight, combination of derotated images in WinJUPOS, then final touches in PixInsight and GIMP.
Jupiter's moon, Io, appears to the right of the Great Red Spot, and Io's shadow is cast onto Jupiter's cloudtops. Essentially, a total eclipse is taking place where the black dot is.
The moons from left to right are: Europa, Io, Ganymede and Callisto.

Quando la Luna è prossima al primo quarto si possono osservare una lettera X e una lettera V lungo il terminatore.
La X si forma perchè la luce del Sole lambisce i bordi dei crateri La Caille, Blanchinus e Purbach. La V invece si forma a causa della luce che arriva principalmente al cratere Ukert. Queste configurazioni si possono osservare in questa fase lunare solo per poche ore al mese.

Première Saturne .
.
🔭 Cette image planétaire est issue de ma toute première lumière avec la caméra @zwoasi 585MC. C’est aussi la toute première fois que j’utilisais le télescope à 4000mm de focale et ce qu’on peut en dire c’est que c’est hyper pointu ! Après avoir pu pointer et m'émerveiller devant Saturne à l’oculaire, j’ai placé la caméra là où on met normalement son œil. En regardant le live view sur le PC, j’ai pu me rendre compte de l’immensité de la planète comparé à ce que l’on peut observer en visuel : cela est dû à la toute petite taille du capteur.
.
😥 Le résultat est loin de mes attentes sur du planétaire, cette Saturne est bien moins définie que ma première Jupiter notamment à cause :
de sa faible hauteur dans le ciel
des turbulences atmosphériques
d’un ADC mal réglé
d’une prise vidéo unique
d’un manque de filtre IR cut
Tous ces mauvais indicateurs font que la planète sort “floue” et avec énormément de bruit. Je n’ai malheureusement pas fait plusieurs vidéos pour maximiser le signal, c’était un monde tout nouveau pour moi à ce moment-là. On sent que ça pèche bien ici mais je ferais bien mieux la prochaine fois 😈.

Had an UNBELIEVABLY awesome night with Saturn, tonight.
Skies were crystal clear and the atmospheric crud (read: upper-level disturbances) were at a minimum.
Through the eyepiece, this was one of the most stellar views of Saturn I've ever had. Almost religious in terms of the experience.
Using that homebrew 6x barlow was astoundingly beautiful!
Captured with a Nikon D5100 coupled to a 10-inch Meade LX200. Magnification for the sensor provided by a custom 6x barlow, plus a 2x Orion Shorty Plus barlow.
8,500 frames. Stacked in Autostakkert!2 and sharpened in Registax. Final color and enhancements done in Photoshop and Lightroom.
Taken in storm force conditions with a Skywatcher ED80 Refractor and a Canon 600D at prime focus. Seeing terrible so stacked the best 10 from 30 images taken in Autostakkert 2 and just used the built in sharpening blend to process automatically.
This is my latest effort capturing Solar System objects in broad daylight.
Blessed with good clean sky today, Venus, Jupiter and Mercury were captured around 12.10pm-12.30pm in the afternoon.
Seeing wasn't great this time, thus we have that fluffy Jupiter. Mercury was surprisingly easy to spot, despite it was located about 5º 14' from the Sun!
Towards late evening, the Moon was imaged about 5.50pm. Saturn was a tougher to get mostly due to clouds. Only when around 6.20pm did I managed to get it between the clouds.
Local sunset time was 7.30pm
All image was taken using Skywatcher 120ED, running on EQ6 mount, controlled via Cartes du Ciel. IMG132e camera used. Stacked via Autostakkert, and extensive post-processing and cleanup in PixInsight.
First light on Saturn for this viewing season, still very low on the southern horizon when this image was taken (around 21:45 local time) thus not many details are visible. It was still nice seeing Saturn slowly making its way in the early evening sky.
