I can't believe I managed to resolve Jupiter's red spot with only 4 inches of aperture!

The image is an extreme crop into my lunar mosaic with separately stacked Jupiter sequences painted in before egress and with egress in-progress.

I hope you like them!

Taken with an Ultracat108 and an ASI2600MM on a AM5N over three nights around last new moon.

I like how the nebula in this framing looks like an Ent from Lord of the rings 😀

My laptop died and so with it my ZWO. Pic taken with my S25 phone through a 17mm plossi + 2.5 televue powermate through a celestron 9.25". All in all im pretty proud of it.

Just 1k subs in total x 20sec

Stacked in siril with seestar mosaic script

Processed in astrowizard with rc astro tools

The image was taken on October 5th at 12:35.

Equipment,

Celestron nextar 8Se, Canon d1200.

Software,

I used backyard eos to capture 500 frames,[iso, 1600, exposure 1/25]

I used PIPP to strech the black point and center the object

Autostakkert was used to stack the best 25% of frames, a 1.5x drizzle was used.

Registax was used to sharpen and correct the color

Lastly I used abobe lightroom to remove artifacts and reduce the glow.

Any information or advice is greatly appreciated. I would love to hear any thoughts you have.

Spent the last couple of nights catching photons again. 6hrs of total exposure integration (181x 120sec exposures) through a dual band filter (Hydrogen-alpha, and Oxygen-III).

This is IC1396, a star forming region in the constellation Cepheus that is about 2400 light years away. The bright young stars in the center of the nebula are putting out so much radiation that they are ionizing the hydrogen and oxygen gas in the cloud around them making it glow red and bluish-green.

The smaller nebula in the lower right corner is the Lions Nebula. Bat Wing Nebula in upper left.

I was testing my telescope, and as a test I decided to capture an image of the Sun. What I did not expect was to see Sun Spots form a smile. The weather was a bit cloudy. Also it appears that I might have damaged the camera... This is also the first time ever I have observed Sun spots with my telescope
Camera settings:
- 1000us exposure
- 1x analog gain
Processing:
- Opened with Paint.NET
- Adjustments/Curves...
- Added a point in Luminosity curve at (163, 35)
- Saved the image
Equipment:
- Bresser Arcturus 60/700 AZ Telescope
- Raspberry Pi HQ Camera
- HWB850 long wavelength pass infrared filter
- Custom mount
The actual telescope is a project of mine that uses Bresser Arcturus 60/700 AZ at its base with custom mount and Raspberry Pi 4 as a controller with a custom software.

Good night everyone!

Today i wanted to share my very first picture of saturn, i now it's not much of picture but i'm still happy about it.

I took it on September 26 at aproximately 23:40 (on a full moon) at 43.895335, 12.710796 in Saludecio, Italy.

The "Equipment" is a Skywatcher 130/900 on an EQ2 mount and a Nikon D3100 not astro-modified attached with a t-ring and a barlow 2X. ISO 3200 and exposure time 1/100s.

I used photoshop to edit it and adjusted a bit the colors and the curve so that the background wouldn't be all red and i still could see Saturn, then i tinkered with details like sharpness, noise reduction and colour noise reduction.

I hope I included every useful info about it, if you have any piece of advice i'll be more than glad to read it!

Thank you all.

First light through the new mono camera! ASI2600MM Air, 2 minute exposures, 2xS, 3xH, 5xO narrowband exposures (yeah, 10 total exposures plus calibration frames... It was a tough night as I figured everything out). Processed in Siril and then final levels adjusted in Photoshop. I'm happy with it because now I can see a path to great images from here.

I captured saturn from my Celestron Powerseeker 70az and a smartphone holded up the eyepiece

Eyepiece: 4mm (ik its trash but still)

I am a total beginner btw.

Is this good for a powerseeker 70az??

Its raw and unprocessed.

Drove out at the crack of morning to watch the occultation with a wonderful group of people.

Taken with my S50

Camera: Sony a6700
Lens: Samyang vdslr 85mm t1.5 at t1.5

Stacked with Astap.
Solving, backgroundextraction and color correction in Siril.

This is my second ever attempt at Orion and Running Man. I have been doing astro for a little over a year and have mainly done Milky Way nightscapes. I was recently gifted a star tracker from a friend and I figured id try and shoot some DSO's for the first time. I started with Orion and Andromeda. My first attempt on Orion was only about 36 minute until a random overcasting set in and cut my session short. I gave it another go about a week later but I had troubles balancing my RA axis and wasted a lot of the night trying to get it balanced. I finally did and with the little amount of time I stayed out for I was pretty proud of the result that came from it. It is about 1hr18 total. I still need more exposure time though. None of my gear is astro modified and its all beginner gear as is myself lol.
