I captured this picture of the Moon on the night of Feb 05, 2022. It features Mare Crisium near the center and just below it and to the left is Mare Fecunditatis.There are also many other very interesting lunar details in this picture.

La Luna fotografata prima dell'alba , da casa mia . Somma di 27 foto allineate con Pipp e sommate con Autostakkert 3 . Fotocamera Canon 700d e telescopio Newton Black Diamond 200/1000

Après plusieurs mois à attendre, premier coup d'œil à Saturne en 2023.

La vision est toujours aussi époustouflante, même si l'opposition est encore loin! Et on voit bien que l'inclinaison des anneaux a changé par rapport à l'an dernier

Mineral moon. Are the colors real? Yes and no. I achieved these colors by significantly increasing the saturation. I also adjusted the color tones and grading using Lightroom. This was something new I wanted to experiment with.

 

Some technical details: I used my astrophotography equipment from my balcony. I recorded a 5-minute video of the moon (30GB) and processed it using PIPP, AutoStakkert, PixInsight, and Lightroom.

A "sucker hole" is an astronomer's term for a very short term break in the cloud cover. This is what I was dealing with. I had to wait a frustratingly long time for these sucker holes to open so I could get a view of the Sun, focus the camera, and grab so images. These steps took place as the holes became available. In the end, I had less than 5 minutes available to capture the image you see above. It was definitely worth the effort.

Clearing skies during the evening of the 24th September allowed me to image the latter stages of Europa's transit of Jupiter.

 

The volcanic satellite Io can be seen to the left of the planet on its way to pass behind Jupiter. Europa and its attending shadow are moving towards Jupiter's preceding limb (left). North is down in this image. The Great Red Spot is also crossing Jupiter's globe.

 

The seeing was probably the best I have had for this apparition but it deteriorated rapidly as I was ending my session.

 

This image is the result of three RGB filter runs, stacked using Autostakkert 3 and derotated using Winjupos.

 

Imaged with a Celestron C11 SCT and a ZWO 290MM camera with Baader RGB filters.

 

Thanks for looking!

Saturn. Really pushed things to get as much detail as possible! higher frame rate at capture and more forceful yet careful sharpening/masking. More ring and surface detail to the discerning eye. Back to DSOs soon.

#BogKY #Moon_eclipse

Engl.: The moon at the time of total eclipse among the stars of the constellation Capricorn

This eclipse did not give such a bright rainbow on the surface of the moon (if compared with the winter eclipse - see www.flickr.com/photos/bogky/28279748949/in/dateposted-pub...).

But the environment of the stars of Capricorn could be seen better, even very "weak" stars "showed up" next to the "extinguished" moon (perhaps one faint asteroid also appeared in the photo).

The disc of the Moon was noticeably smaller (the moon was farther than in the last eclipse) and for the stars around left more space in the frame ;-)

Rus.: Луна в момент полного затмения среди звёзд созвездия Козерога

Это затмение не подарило столь яркой радуги на поверхности Луны (если сравнивать с зимним затмением - см. www.flickr.com/photos/bogky/28279748949/in/dateposted-pub...).

Зато окружение звёзд Козерога было видно лучше, даже весьма "слабые" звёзды "проявились" рядом с "погасшей" Луной (возможно, на фото попался и один неяркий астероид).

Диск Луны был заметно меньше (Луна была дальше, чем в прошлом затмении) и звёздам вокруг осталось больше места в кадре ;-)

3.3 day old moon, 11.4% illuminated.

 

This image was captured just 18 minutes after sunset. The live and unprocessed image looked good enough on the display that I thought I could get away taking an image before dark. I had some processing difficulties as a result of the sky not being completely dark. Lesson learned: wait for dark to image the Moon!

Planet Jupiter imaged from the back garden at almost midnight BST. The seeing was reasonable to begin with - especially given the poor altitude of 20° - but was degrading rapidly as I ended this final session.

 

I had to delete the final RBG filter run as the blue channel was so poor. Imaging over rooftops definitely doesn't help!

 

In this image south is uppermost and a series of white storms are very apparent in this region.

 

Looking forward to Jupiter rising higher in our skies in the coming years - greatly improving imaging prospects, weather permitting of course!

 

Imaged with a Celestron C11 SCT and a ZWO 290MM camera/Baader RGB filter combo. A total of 12 minutes exposure combined and derotated in Winjupos after stacking with Autostakkert 3 and sharpening in Registax.

   

Data for this image was captured right after the two images that I previously posted. The data set is comprised of ten RGB runs that are de-rotated in WinJuPos.

Annular Solar Eclipse 2023-10-14 imaged in hydrogen alpha, near Bluff, UT at one of the San Juan River Rincon's (abandoned oxbow).

 

It's been a difficult road in so many ways preparing for this eclipse but experiencing this moment without a cloud in the sky and no equipment malfunctions made this a lifetime memory. More images to follow as time permits.
