I haven't had too many chances to get out this year due to the clouds and wildfires burning in western N. Carolina. I've been working at trying to get some data processed and I must have forgot how to process Jupiter . I was using pipp , AS2 and reg.6 and having a really hard go at it. I guess time will tell the tale if I totally forgot how to rgb align and balance but , it's a start for the year. Enjoy and have a Happy Easter.

It took me a while to process the images taken this weekend: this beautiful weather did come with a price, too many GB to process! These are from Thursday evening: an almost full lunar disk taken with my newest ASI 1600mm. Lower resolution than my other camera, and slower, but very good to get the moon in the field without stiching. The mosaic below, instead, was taken with my ASI 178mm: smaller pixel and smaller sensor, so much higher resolution, and lots more details. Unfortunately there are some stiching artifact, that I hope to remove in a future version.

Just looked out to confirm that the clouds were still there and whether I could see the moon close to Jupiter, and caught this view instead. Not the usual halo around the moon, but much further away. OK, so I know what the con-trails are, but is this a moon-bow? Sorry about the truly lousy image snapped on a convenient hand-held bridge camera in auto mode! (must learn how to control manually some time.) AK

Had a great session last night and was the best this year (not that many to compare but even so...) I was comparing my new EPs and the seeing was so good I decided to move to higher mag later. Not the best images but as they were handheld with iPhone 7 through Delos 8mm, Nagler 3.5mm and with Barlow I thought I'd post as I was pleased ?

Good Day to you all, I just wanted to share my first real attempt at photographing the Moon. This image is the result of a stack of 50 or so photos processed using Registax. I used my Nikon dslr and a telephoto lens. I would gladly welcome your critique. The image has been optimized for web, the original was over 60mb in size. Thank you Ben

Good Morning, Last night I decided to get myself off the sofa and collect moon images for stacking. It was around 01:00 and the Moon was 3 hours after moon - rise. The viability was OK. Not perfect but I wanted data. Nikon d7200, Sigma 150-600mm Sport +1.4TC gave me a focal length of 1260mm. I was limited to f/9 160sec ISO 1OO. I know that the lens is at its sharpest at f/11 but the image seemed too dark at this aperture. I took around 100 exposures and used Asrostakkert for stacking. The image posted here is optimised for web viewing at a reduced resolution. Ple

What a nice way to wake! The other morning I got up at dawn to capture this peaceful pairing of the waning crescent moon and Venus. The only music you hear are the beautiful sounds of Nature. Enjoy, Reggie

The weather has not been kind to us here in the South West of Western Australia and when there has been clear skies, seeing conditions have not been great. But I'm still at it! Here are a handful of lunar images that I've captured this month. October 1st. Hand held afocal, Celestron Nexstar 8i SCT with an Unbranded 40mm Plossl and a Fujifilm 10mp A170 compact digital camera. October 4th (I think). Celestron Nexstar 8i SCT with the ZWO ASI224MC with Celestron UV/IR cut off filter. Captured in SharpCap, aligned and stacked in AutoStakkert3, wavelets in RegiStax

Moon picture taken on June 19th at 3.40am with my 200p and dlsr attached.

I thought I'd post my image from last month, since we don't see these posted often. So, I shot through a Venus U filter, an Orion Imaging and a 640nm IR-pass, assigning them to B,G,R respectively (and boosting saturation to great levels as the moon is very reflective on all those frequencies). Each of those images was actually a mosaic of 3 subframes made by processing videos shot with an ASI290MM. I used my least sharp OTA, the 130PDS, since I wanted to avoid lenses/correctors for the UV filter. Before I got the mono camera, I had tried one with my color Altair IMX224, but as

I had decent conditions last night and took a few images with my 8SE and 224MC camera. Stacked in AS2, used Photoshop for some enhancement. I added some labels too. Thanks for looking.

Hello Just 700 images taken between the clouds to make my best image of this trio. A first version at 60% : The big 100 % for details : http://www.webastro.net/upload/images/2382-1496381054.jpg Rheita E taken before the turbulence calmed it a bit : Clear skies. Luc CATHALA -
Hello all, this is an update for my previous post. Stayed on my feet for 2 hrs, but it was worth. I got really good pictures, 2 videos and 1 timelapse that turned really cool. Jupiter seeing was poor unfortunately. Found out that trying to magnify with your phone is actually good. Anyways I will upload the videos as sono as i can. Please tell me your thoughts on the pictures that were made on a phone until then, i also included a picture of my setup. Clear skies!

Hi, i just arrived at brasov valley, romania and i tried looking at the moon after setting up and cooling down. After that i was too tired for planetary and the conditions weren't the best. My point is that i would like your feedback on my pictures. Btw the sky here is amazing and i did no kind of processing to the image, higher mag images coming soon. Clear skies!

Does anyone else find the Moon a lot easier to observe and photograph when it isn`t full ... and with much better detail , contrast and shadows ? One in pre dawn light from this morning with Canon 70D and f5.6L 400mm prime lens and cropped ...

Observation 11 July 2017 Date: 11th July 2017 @ 20:50 – 22:30AEST Location: Backyard Equipment: 14” Skywatcher GOTO Dobsonian, Televue 31mm Nagler T5 , Televue 17mm Ethos, Televue 11mm Nagler T6, Celestron 5mm, LV 7mm, Televue 2X Powermate, Baader Neodymium, Baader Contrast Booster, Circular polarizer. Tonight is looking like it is a good night to do some observing and try out the new shroud for the Dobsonian. The Seeing was quite stable, there were clouds flowing south to north direction but not so many as to ruin any observing. The moon is just the second -
On the morning of October 14 the sky in Germany was clear and the seeing was between average and good. I wanted to test the new release of my MoonPanoramaMaker software, so I set up my telescope in the garden. In fully automatic mode the 30 videos for a high-res panorama were captured. Here is a "thumbnail picture" of the panorama: You find the panorama in full resolution here. Make sure to view the picture at 100% zoom. The inidividual video files were taken with an ASI120MM-S camera through a 685nm red filter and my C11 telescope. If you are interested in the technical detail

Quickmap has recently been updated and now has a feature that lets you fly around any crater on the Moon while you enjoy a 3D view of it. This it how it works: Go to http://quickmap.lroc.asu.edu Select the Lunar Globe 3D projection and a texture that works around the whole globe: Find a place on the globe to view and start the 3D flight You should now see a 3D scene like this, spinning around the point where you clicked: To see the moving 3D scene you can use this link. It's a very long link, but it should get you there in on

Hi everyone, Here's my submission... A sketch (old school, I know...) made on Friday, 27 October. I drew the sketch using my 20 year-old Meade LX10(!), with a 12.4 Super Plossl EP. The sketch was made with white Conte crayons on a black paper A3 sketch book. I'm way, way out of practice, having only recently dusted off my scopes after a long hiatus, so looking forward much more observing, and much more sketching.-

Hello everyone, It has been a while since I posted here. I was waiting for my telescope but unfortunately my friend could not bring it along from UK Anyway since that happened I decided to continue my search for a telescope and in the meanwhile I decided to get myself a nice binocular and carry on until I get hold of a good scope. Perhaps, I could continue with a bino for some time and gain experience and then if the passion doesn't die I can get a scope. Anyway, I went to a hill station where my father-in-law has a couple of flats (at a height of 6,000 feet) and so they spend ever

From 30th October 2017. Using a Sky & Moonglow filter that was included with the collection, I didn't know what to expect out of it. (I had previously used a moon filter that left a green tint to everything - the detail was there, but the colour was flat.) This filter didn't cut out as much of the colour, despite having a mild pink hue. I'm still familiarising myself with everything, but I'm looking into things as I go. This image is a combination of 7 exposures at various speeds to allow for detail and contrast using a Canon Rebel T5i (gifted to me, so I'm not complaining about a fre- 1 reply

Which would be better, a 13% or 18% transparency moon filter? It is for an Orion Funscope 100mm or Meade Etx-60At Thanks

While I had the patience to watch the occultation, my camera battery did not. It died about an hour before the spectacle, but it's okay - I've purchased more back-up batteries. This is a composite image with an accurate distance measured by taking the Aldebaran shot in focus with just a small portion of the moon on the right, then using the stacked moon photo from images taken immediately after. I was using a lunar filter for the contrast, but I don't like how I wasn't able to pull out some more colour. Next time. I'm really enjoying all these celestial events that seemingly went unnotice

I took this with a Canon 600D (T3i) through a 90mm refractor in Lawrence, KS, USA. I believe it is 72% illuminated. I recently got the refactor and this was the first time I used it. Thanks.
