Kudos to all the amazing people who make and provide all the equipment and software that allows me to basically push some buttons and take photos like the Cocoon nebula. The sky was hazy and smoky, and yet 86 x 60s exposures still pulled in the nebula. I am deeply grateful.

Does anyone on have a ? If so, then let's see it! Here's mine - a 1985 Meade 2080 LX3 OTA mounted on a Sky-Watcher EQ-5 mount. I still have the original Meade forks, drive base and tripod, but I find the EQ-5 is a lot easier to use, set up and do astrophotography with.

Let's see your rig!!!

Gestern Abend frierend in der Sternwarte mit neuer Technik gekämpft (PC sucks - Mac rulez). Nachdem meine Fußzehen nicht mehr zu spüren waren hatte ich die Nase voll und hab den Mond aufgenommen. Aufnahmedaten gibt es hier: astrobin.com/322br6/

Turned out i was only partly right. It appears to be the power input port on the @Celestron@twitter.com Dew Heater Ring. Even at low power it creates thermal waves in the scope which screw up images. Switch it off and it goes away. Anyone else experienced this?

My imperfect Praesepe, also known as the Beehive Cluster. No bees in the depths of winter to share so I turn to the cosmos.
The ancient geophysicist, Ptolemy, describes the open star cluster as a “nebulous mass in the breast of Cancer.” Sounds like A LOT of my mammograms, ultrasounds and biopsies.

WAS astrophotographer Dana Weisbrot was able to capture these striking planetary images over the past few months from the 14” Edge HD dome telescope and his personal C9.25.

Occultation of the Moon and Mars - 8th December 2022 - real footage of closest approach

These things don't happen every day, so when the chance comes along (and it's clear skies) then you have to take advantage.

I used a combination of my guidescope (50mm) and a T7C astrocam for the first approach, and my Celestron Astro Fi 130 and QHY5iii178C camera for the close-ups.
