After our first, post-perihelion image from ground, we imaged comet Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko again, under very good sky condition. It is worth to remember that this comet is the target of the ESA Rosetta space mission....
For sure, comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko is one of the most important astronomical objects out there. It is the target of the ESA Rosetta space mission, which delivered the Philae lander to the cometary nucleus, something...
This time, against hour habit with this object, we did not wait for several weeks before looking again at comet C/2013 A1 Siding Spring. We always remind you that this comet made history last...
After a few weeks, we want to look at comet C/2013 A1 Siding Spring again. We all remember when this comet made, last October, something amazing, as it approached planet Mars within a very short, record distance,...
A lot of time has gone since we saw comet C/2014 Q2 Lovejoy last time. After more than two months, we decided to look at this comet again, remembering the unforgettable show we all enjoyed...
After one month from our last observation, we want to look at comet C/2013 A1 Siding Spring again. This comet made history last October, when it approached planet Mars within a very short, record distance,...
After a couple of weeks, we decided to image comet C/2015 F3 Swan again, finding it very faint, though visible as a pale ghost of light The image above comes from the average of ten,...
We all know Rosetta, the ESA spacecraft which last November 2014 made possible for a lander, for the first time ever, to touch down a cometary nucleus, as part of a long term study...
Despite the severe, unfavorable conditions (cirri all around and extremely bright full Moon), we decided to image comet C/2015 F3 Swan again The image above comes from the average of twelve, 120-seconds exposures, unfiltered, remotely collected with...
After our first observation, we decided to image comet C/2015 F3 Swan again, despite the amazingly bright Moon and high cirrus in the sky. The image above comes from the average of twelve, 120-seconds exposures, unfiltered,...
Following rumors that comet C/2015 F3 Swan, last night, did not show any central condensation, we managed to perform some follow up, as soon as the sky cleared, after lot of rain. The image...
After almost one month and half from our last observation, we visited comet C/2013 A1 Siding Spring again. This comety made history last October, when it approached planet Mars within a very short, record distance, under...
After more than one month from our previous visit, at Virtual Telescope we observed comet C/2013 A1 Siding Spring again. This comety made history last October, when it approached planet Mars within a very...
After almost three months (a full season!), at Virtual Telescope we are always tracking comet C/2014 Q2 Lovejoy, one of the most beautiful objects of this kind we have seen around these last years....
