thanks! yep, it was totally clear thank you!

Here is today’s partial solar eclipse in stunning H alpha, showing prominences, sunspots, and the dark silhouette of the moon as it covered 40% of the solar disc from my location of Agra, India. I always wanted to capture an eclipse in Ha, and I am very happy with this result! .

This is my best image of this target yet, with 31+ hours shot on this target and the best 24 hours stacked to get this vibrant result! The much fainter Sii sulphur data provided the yellowish-orange colour as opposed to the traditional red associated with this target. It’s hard to believe such an image can be shot from a light polluted city, but it just shows the power of narrowband filters and long integration times. It took my 15 nights to shoot this target, the longest I’ve done by far. This is a 2 panel mosaic, which was needed to fit the large nebula at my FL of 360mm. With the help of NINA’s platesolving, the mosaic alignment and capture was a breeze.

Today, an extremely rare celestial event took place. The moon passed in front of the planet Mars, obscuring it from view for around 1 hour. This event was only visible from a small part of the world, around southeast Asia I was able to capture the reappearance of Mars from behind the moon at 7:11pm local time! An absolutely incredible experience. My first planetary occultation. Last night there were thunderstorms in my area, so I was trying to keep my hopes down for the big day. But fortunately, I lucked out with clear sky. I have waited for this event since 1+ year, so I’m extremely glad I was able to capture it. Mars has moved away from the earth and is quite small in the sky now, hence the surface details aren’t as good as last year end. This image is a blend of two videos, processed and stacked to compensate for the relative motion of the moon and Mars.

Very happy with this image! I've wanted to do an HaRGB image of M31 for a long time, and I finally got some good data by travelling to a bortle 4 sky.

Here is Mars with its two small asteroid moons Phobos and Deimos! I’m really surprised I was able to capture these very faint moons. I overexposed the image and barely detected them near mars, in the correct positions according to my app to confirm I identified them correctly. The first image is a blend of two exposures to show both mars and the moons. GSO 8” CC CEM-40 Neximage 5 Canon eos R Best 5% of 22k frames 1:53am 23rd September 2020 Agra, India

Thanks Thanks Mark!

thank you! Bortle 8, in the middle of a city. Light pollution is a real challenge here

But isn't it moving too slow to be a satellite? this took 10 minutes to cover roughly 500 arcmins of sky (just a tiny patch in north east) , whereas starlink and other satellites can go from horizon to horizon in 5-7 minutes

Hi All, sorry if this is the wrong place to post this. But I need your help. A few days ago while photographing Andromeda galaxy, 12 of my frames caught this object passing. It can't be a low earth satellite (won't be illuminated at midnight) and also they move too fast. each shot here was 45 sec exposure, meaning in total this object took over 10 minutes to pass a very small area of the sky.
