Comet 12P/Pons-Brooks continues to amaze us, showing stunning details both in its tail and inner coma. We are pleased to share these new images. The image above comes from the sigma clipping combination of...
Comet 12P/Pons-Brooks is putting right now a superb show up there, soon after sunset: the Virtual Telescope Project will share the view with you live, online! We will show comet 12P to you in...
We managed to capture very spectacular images of comet 12P/Pons-Brooks, using optics with very different fields of view. One of them shows the great Andromeda Galaxy, too. The image above comes from the combination...
We managed to perform a careful wavelet analysis on our 2 Mar. images of comet 12P/Pons-Brooks, getting a super view on the many features of this awesome object. The image above comes from the...
After more than two weeks of rain and clouds, we could spot comet 12P/Pons-Brooks for a few minutes and we captured a stunning close up and a wider view on its marvelous tail. The...
We managed to capture the brightest quasar in the sky, 3C 273, and its relativistic jet. The image above comes from the average of five, 300-second exposures, unfiltered and unguided, remotely taken with the...
We are very excited and pleased to share with you this unique image, bringing you very far away, back in space and time, with the “Cosmic Horseshoe”. There are events happening in the universe...
Despite it was very low above the horizon in the astronomical twilight, comet 12P/Pons-Brooks looks very nice in this image The image above comes from the sigma clipping combination of 13, 120-second unfiltered exposures,...
We present another image of comet 12P/Pons-Brooks, displaying a continuously evolving tail. The image above comes from the sigma clipping combination of 10, 120-second unfiltered exposures, taken with the ARTEC250+Paramount ME+C3Pro61000EC robotic unit available...
We continue our long term follow-up program on comet C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan-ATLAS, while slowly approaching the Sun (perihelion on 27 Sept. 2024). The image above comes from the sigma-clipping combination of six, 300-second exposures,...
Comet 62P/Tsuchinshan is crossing a region of the sky with plenty of galaxies on the background. Here it is pairing with NGC 4608. The image above comes from the average of 6, 300-second, unfiltered...
After several cloudy nights, we collected a new image of comet 12P/Pons-Brooks, displaying such a beautiful tail. The image above comes from the sigma clipping combination of 5, 120-second unfiltered exposures, taken with the...
We imaged supernova SN 2024any in NGC 1222, one of the brightest ones of these first weeks of the new year. The image above comes from the average of six, 180-second exposures, unfiltered and...
asteroid / event / near Earth
On 12 Feb. 2024, the near-Earth asteroid 2024 CY1 will have a very close, but safe, encounter with us, coming at about 121000 km from the Earth, about 31% of the average lunar distance....
