We imaged the Potentially Hazardous Asteroid 2020 XR, going to have a close, but obviously safe encounter with the Earth next 4 Dec., coming as close as 2.2 millions of km from us. The...
Exploiting the now very good weather, we captured a couple of views of comet C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan-ATLAS, before the Moon will become an issue. The image above comes from the average combination of 6,...
We continue monitoring comet C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan-ATLAS, so here it is a new image showing details of its ion tail. The image above comes from the sigma clipping combination of 6, 120-second exposures, remotely...
Never before had a telescope with a diameter of less than 180 centimeters probed so far into space and time. Media kit available here. Records are made to be broken. This statement is especially...
Mai prima d’ora al mondo un telescopio di meno di 180 centimetri di diametro aveva scrutato così lontano nello spazio e nel tempo: lo sguardo sull’Universo più profondo di sempre mai ottenuto dal territorio...
We detected the optical afterglow of GRB 241030A, about 37 hours after the burst. On 30 Oct. 2024, at 05:48:03 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and located GRB 241030A (trigger=1263718). This...
We release new images of comet C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan-ATLAS while it leaves the inner Solar System. The image above comes from the sigma-clipping combination of 6, 120-second exposures, remotely taken with the ARTEC250+Paramount ME+C3Pro61000EC...
We continue tracking comet C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan-ATLAS while it is clearly fading. We used all the four telescopes available at our facility, to better exploit this opportunity. The image above comes from the average...
At last, we imaged comet C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan-ATLAS under good sky conditions, enjoying its features at different image scales and resolutions. Here we present the first two images we released. The image above comes...
Here it is comet C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan-ATLAS imaged under fair weather conditions, showing details of its ion tail. The image above comes from the sigma clipping combination of 4, 120-second exposures, remotely taken with...
Despite less than ideal sky conditions, we imaged comet C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan-ATLAS with different telescopes and we share the results here. The image above comes from the average combination of 5, 60-second exposures, remotely...
We imaged comet C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan-ATLAS during its best visibility and, despite clouds, we captured stunning views at several image scales/resolutions, making justice to its tail and antitail, its brightest parts and the inner...
We will observe comet C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan-ATLAS now that is is slowly leaving the inner Solar System. Join us from the comfort of your home! We will share real time images of this stunning...
Here it is comet C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan-ATLAS, now at its full glory. Despite the clouds, the vision was amazing and we are pleased to share a couple of images. The image above comes from...
