On 11 Sept. 2024, the near-Earth asteroid 2024 RL8 will have a safe close encounter with the Earth, coming as close as 430.000 km, about 1,1 times the average lunar distance. We observed it...
On 9 Sept. 2024, the near-Earth asteroid 2024 RN3 had a safe close encounter with the Earth, coming as close as 684.000 km, about 1,8 times the average lunar distance. We observed it at...
We captured the potentially hazardous asteroid 2024 ON again, while it is safely coming as close as one million of km from us, 2.6 times the average lunar distance. The image above comes from...
The most spectacular globular cluster in the Northern sky, Messier 13 (NGC 6205) is a gem for sure. The image above is a quick view, suggesting that a deeper investigation would be mind-blowing. The...
The region of the sky dominated by Deneb, the brightest star in Cygnus (the Swan), is among the most spectacular ones, once imaged with the right instruments, under a dark sky, with plenty of...
On 7 June 2024, the near-Earth asteroid 2024 RR3 will have a very close, but safe encounter with the Earth. It will come as close as 360000 of km, about 93% the average lunar...
We imaged comet 13P/Olbers again, under good sky conditions and we share our picture here. The image above comes from the sigma clipping combination of 16, 120-second unfiltered exposures, taken with the ARTEC250+Paramount ME+C3Pro61000EC robotic...
We imaged the European Space Agency’s Sentinel-2C satellite again, capturing a beautiful picture We share it here. The image above comes from a single 3-second exposure, remotely taken with the ARTEC250+Paramount ME+C3Pro61000EC robotic unit...
Less than 24 hours after its launch, we imaged the European Space Agency’s Sentinel-2C satellite, under difficult conditions. Here it is our picture. The image above comes from the average of five, 2-second exposures,...
We imaged comet 13P/Olbers one month after our last visit. While it is significantly fainter, it still is a beautiful object. The image above comes from the sigma clipping combination of 18, 120-second unfiltered exposures,...
On 12 Oct. 2024, the Potentially Hazardous Asteroid (363027) 1998 ST27 will have a relatively close, but obviously safe encounter with the Earth, coming as close as 3.6 millions of km from us. Here...
On 18 Sept. 2024, the Potentially Hazardous Asteroid 2013 FW13 will have a relatively close, but obviously safe encounter with the Earth, coming as close as 3.2 millions of km from us. Here it...
About one month after its eruption, we imaged V615 Vul = Nova Vulpeculae 2024 again, finding it much fainter. The panel above consists of two images, both coming from a single 15-second, V-filtered exposure,...
Next 18 Sept. 2024, the second Supermoon of the year will offer us a partial eclipse. While not total, it will be nice to see. The Virtual Telescope Project we will show it live,...
