Sagittarius is a bit better in India though, than it is here......😃

Thanks! haha

I haven't seen any images of Pluto here yet. I know its not really different from the surrounding stars but knowing that I am capturing something in the Kuiper belt blows my mind   This image is one of my coolest yet for me personally. Pluto is right in between saturn and Jupiter right now so easy to find.

Great progress over the past 4 years especially when you realise that Saturn was much higher in the sky then.

thanks Peter!

Thanks Craig! 

Really happy to have captured my first Ice giant moon! this photo is a blend of two images (one with 3/10s exposure for neptune and one 10" exposure for triton).

Thanks Peter!

Got a night with good seeing and tried de-rotation on saturn for the first time. I'm really happy about the results! I think the polar hexagon is visible here, can anyone please confirm that? 

I've also attached a photo of my saturn journey over the last 4 years

took 5 min x 3 avi files with the Neximage 5.

Well done for getting Ganymede, lovely shot.

thank you!

A very sharp and detailed image, well captured! I think you've got a bit of atmospheric dispersion affecting the image, see the slight blue fringe st the top of the planet and red at the bottom? On Ganymede too. You can try the RGB align function in registax, should help with that nicely. 

thanks for the suggestion, I'll try that

I finally got a night with good seeing, and Jupiter was 40 degrees in altitude when I took 2.5 min x 6 videos and stacked and derotated them to get this result  Im very pleased. Hope you enjoy

Yes nice to see images from the CC. Although I use mine for visual love using it and wouldn’t go back to an 8” SCT.  🙂

thanks! i really like mine too!

I just got a new 8" CC scope a few weeks back, and finally managed to avoid clouds and get a shot of mars! extremely pleased with the results! my best Mars image before this was just a red blob with zero details. Hope to get some better shots till opposition in october!

Hi All,

lot to learn and improve, but hope you like them

- Shivam

Comet C/2020 F3 Neowise!! 😍 

finally managed to capture it after 3 days of waking up at 4:30am, trying to avoid monsoon clouds here in India. Brightest comet of my lifetime  

glad to have gotten the tail too in the single shot!
 

I am quite close to the equator so the window for getting a shot of extremely narrow, and no possibility of getting it with a dark background.

Hope you enjoy the pics
