Re: My astrophotography 2021
2021-6-24 Last evening's shooting took a toll such that I had no energy to get up in the wee hours to shoot the stars. Nevertheless, in the pre-dawn time I was excited by the clear skies and what it could mean to the sunrise vista. At around 6:20, the twilight was already a bit bright over the easte...

Re: My astrophotography 2021
Mars on a steady path towards M44, and will make a ~3-day-long transit through the star cluster around June 23. Stargazers wish for clear skies! https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/pw/ACtC-3fUmoreNCv6hpVVnnRgf5_gWvQaAVKNYh2TE7U9lARfGEW5Hab4Bx1RkRMAE6aX90hH4Ce7xWA3XP4u39g0Z65WJ5pJRoWnNuWXF9JP0xFftwroFk...

Re: My astrophotography 2021
Venus steadily gains brightness. Now at -3.9. It easily creates its halo in the colorful evening cloud just after sunset. In Dec, it will brighten up to -4.7, which is even twice as bright as it is now. Too bright to have any good friend. Aha! https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/pw/ACtC-3e7SKAsEPXL3k5...

Re: My astrophotography 2021
2021-6-16 evening Moon travels in the Leo, and outshines the sickle. The thin clouds just did not go away. But perhaps they actually add to the otherwise dull background. The moon image is of course a superimposed one. The huge dynamic range of the super bright object would hardly show any details o...

Re: My astrophotography 2021
Finally, the exposures of 7P/ visiting the Helix were done this morning. But was struggling with image processing. The end result for now. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/pw/ACtC-3fxQOADmsvkWwzt3V5FERnCTnAs5HE-wCg7pjdfD-pwUeXRax3JsuoXwksEnDEcsiEqDn3cSG_qfBEg0vbXzc-Am5fHz9m5lS_Nz8Z9G3lrDDyjiCyopEsM...

Re: My astrophotography 2021
2021-6-15 The faintest object I have ever taken a photo of. The asteroid Gonggong (共工). At magnitude 21.5, it turns out much more difficult than I expected, barely discernable from 4x5min-exposure with a 20' telescope at the Bortle 1 site. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/pw/ACtC-3cnROI3-u1uplKg1yH...

Moon passes by M44, with Mars in the same image frame.
