We imaged again comet 13P/Olbers, now slowly leaving the inner Solar System. The image above comes from the sigma clipping combination of 20, 120-second unfiltered exposures, taken with the ARTEC250+Paramount ME+C3Pro61000EC robotic unit available...
Here it is comet 13P/Olbers, imaged two days after perihelion The image above comes from the sigma clipping combination of 12, 120-second unfiltered exposures, taken with the ARTEC250+Paramount ME+C3Pro61000EC robotic unit available as part...
Lo scorso 20 maggio 2024 è stata resa nota, da parte dell’International Astronomical Union, la dedica dell’asteroide alla cantante Annalisa: d’ora in poi, dunque, il pianetino porterà formalmente la designazione (20014) Annalisa. Noi lo...
asteroid / conjunction / nova
Despite the crazy weather, we succeeded capturing the peak of the conjunction involving the Blaze Star (T Coronae Borealis) and asteroid (2) Pallas, here it is our image and a time-lapse. The image above...
asteroid / conjunction / nova
While waiting for the peak of the conjunction involving the Blaze Star (T Coronae Borealis) and asteroid (2) Pallas, we managed to capture and share a new image. The image above comes from a...
While the Chinese Chang’e-6 probe is bringing back the first lunar samples from the far side of the Moon, we managed to image the returning module a few days before its reentry. The image...
On 29 June 2024, the potentially hazardous asteroid 2024 MK will have a very close, but safe, encounter with us, coming at about 295000 km from the Earth, about 77% of the average lunar...
On 24 June 2024, the famous T Coronae Borealis, aka the Blaze Star, will share the very same spot of the sky with asteroid (2) Pallas. We will show this appulse live, introducing the...
We captured comet 13P/Olbers again, now close to its perihelion (30 June 2024). See our image below. The image above comes from the sigma clipping combination of 15, 120-second unfiltered exposures, taken with the...
The astronomical community is waiting for the predicted outburst of T Coronae Borealis (T CrB, dubbed the Blaze Star), the brightest recurrent nova out there. Should the prediction turn out to be correct, what...
We imaged supernova SN 2024exw in the spiral galaxy NGC 4192A and we show it here. The image above comes from the average of two, 300-second exposures, unfiltered and unguided, remotely taken with the...
We managed to observe comet C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan-ATLAS, while it slowly approaches the Sun. The image above comes from the sigma-clipping combination of 15, 120-second exposures, unfiltered and unguided, remotely taken with the Celestron...
We imaged comet C/2021 S3 Panstarrs while it shared the same spot of the sky of the famous galaxy NGC 6946 (aka “Fireworks” galaxy) and the open star cluster NGC 6939. The image above comes...
We imaged supernova SN 2024igg in the barred spiral galaxy NGC 5876 and we share it here. The image above comes from the average of five, 120-second exposures, unfiltered and unguided, remotely taken with...
