Looks like the eclipse won't be great for the US tonight (throw back below to last years) but other areas of the world can still get a show : https://www.space.com/stargazing/lunar-eclipses/what-time-is-the-blood-moon-total-lunar-eclipse-on-march-3

‘I met a traveller from an antique land…’
This is #3I/Atlas imaged just a few mins ago in the pre dawn sky here in Oxfordshire UK. With my #Seestar50
It’s quite bright! Showed up immediately on the screen.
I’ve only gone and captured an interstellar comet! @&*!@#£!!!

Trying out the new Siril script for Seestar mosaics. Not much data (only two rather short nights 🤷♂️) so rather noisy, but enough to get a decent grasp of what it can do…

After several attempts but non-success, last night I drove out to mountains to have dinner with friends, where a brief 15 minute window of opportunity to finally capture it emerged.
Was FINALLY able to get ~2 mins of data, but finally saw C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS).
We had only about 15 mins before the sky was dark enough after sunset to get set up and capture comet photons.
It was brief, but it was beautiful. For the first time, I saw a comet with my eyes through binocs (as opposed to a screen). Venus looked marvellous as well.
Have also included an annotated diagram merging the wide-angle shot taken with the DSLR and the more zoomed-in version captured with Seestar S50.
Comets are trolls but they are neat when you see them! 😍
I was about to give up on this with the clouds. Thankful for that small window of opportunity!

Last night Seestar S50 session result of IC5146 (cocoon nebula)
First image is stacked and processed with @Siril_Official
Second image is Seestars live stacking result with trails of planes to #BER destroing the image.

Cosmic fruits from last night’s #astrophotography session. The great nebulae of the Milky Way hang high in our winter sky.
1. Lagoon Nebula
2. Triffid Nebula
3. Eagle Nebula (+ Pillars of Creation)
4. Fighting Dragons of AraThe central regions of the nebulae, show the massive hot stars that create all that ionizing radiation that causes the hydrogen to emit that reddish colour, whilst carving out cavities in the cloud. Physics in action!
Seestar S50 captures from my backyard last night, all under 1 hour integration time.

M51 #Wirlpool-Galaxie mit #seestar50 im „Äquatorialmode“ mit insgesamt etwa 60 Minuten Belichtungszeit. Ohne Fieldrotation macht das gleich doppelt Spaß.
Mit @Siril_Official gestacked, gestreched und Farbsätting hochgedreht. Keine weitere Nachbearbeitung.
Das LiveStacking Bild vom Seestar sieht in diesem Fall deutlich schlechter aus. Vor allem dank 4 Satelliten und 2 Flugzeugen.

#SkyWatch #Astrophotography M81 aka Bode's Galaxy is 12 million lightyears away in the Ursa Major constellation. Its diameter is 96,000 lightyears and it contains 250 billion stars. I captured 45 thirty-second exposures for this image with my #Seestar50

#SkyWatch #Astrophotography Since I got my #Seestar50 telescope in October, I have captured about 500 exposures of the area around Alnitak, the easternmost star in Orion's Belt. The exposures are of different lengths (10, 20, and 30 seconds) and have a variety of framings. As an experiment, I decided to stack and process them all together. The Horsehead Nebula is the only part of the area that all of the exposures had in common so this image is the result of my experiment

#SkyWatch #Astrophotography #Seestar50 M108 aka the Surfboard Galaxy in the upper left is 28 million light years away in Ursa Major. Its mass is 125 billion times that of our Sun. It contains 3 supernovae found in 1969, 2015, and 2023. M97 aka the Owl Nebula in the lower right is 2030 light years away and formed 8000 years ago when a star exploded, expelling a shell of gas traveling at speeds of 2.7-3.9 km/s. I captured 126 20-second exposures last night and processed them entirely on my phone

#SkyWatch #Astrophotography Finally some clear skies to get out under the stars again. This image of M101 aka the Pinwheel Galaxy is 192 thirty second images captured with my #Seestar50 last night and stacked and processed this morning with PixInsight. M101 is 21 million light years away in the Ursa Major constellation. It is 170,000 light years across and has a mass of about 100 billion times our Sun. #ClearSkies

Last night at 11:12PM in the Saint Louis, MO Southwestern sky I caught a strange moving blue object with my new #SeeStar50 telescope. I don't know what it is. Any ideas?

#SkyWatch #Astrophotography NGC1499 aka the California Nebula is an emission nebula 1000 lightyears away in the Perseus constellation. Because it is very dim, it is almost impossible to see visually despite the fact that it stretches almost 2.5 degrees across the sky. This image is 145 ten-second exposures captured with my #Seestar50 and stacked and processed in Pixinsight.

#SkyWatch #Astrophotography IC1795 aka the Fish Head Nebula is a star-forming area 6000 lightyears away in the Cassiopeia constellation. This image is 215 10-second exposures captured with my #Seestar50 telescope. We have a forecast full of clouds for the next week so I'm processing images from the Seestar that I previously only shared with the scope's live-stacking process. It's good practice!

#SkyWatch #Astrophotography The Triangulum Galaxy aka M33 is a face-on spiral galaxy 2.7 million lightyears from Earth. It contains about 40 billion stars, has a diameter of 61,100 lightyears, and is the 3rd largest galaxy in the Local Group, behind Andromeda and our own Milky. This image is 149 ten-second exposures captured with my #Seestar50 smart telescope and processed by me using Pixinsight.

#Astrophotography #SkyWatch NGC2174 aka the Monkey Head Nebula direct comparison: screenshot of a single 5 minute exposure with my big rig (Redcat 51, ZWO 533MC pro, AVX mount) and no processing on the left vs. screenshot of 30 ten-second exposures (5 minutes) live stacked by the #Seestar50 and enhanced on my phone on the right. The Seestar50 does a great job for the money and ease of use but there really is no comparison.

#SkyWatch #Astrophotography M97 aka the Owl Nebula is a planetary nebula about 2030 lightyears away in the Ursa Major constellation. It formed about 8000 years ago. The nebula is expanding as its central star condenses to a white dwarf. This image is 171 ten second exposures (28.5 minutes) captured last night with my #Seestar50 smart telescope in partly cloudy skies. I edited the raw exposures without calibration frames using my regular workflow.

#Skywatch #Astrophotography #SolarPhotography My #Seestar50 smart telescope came with a solar filter so I played with creating time-lapse videos of the sun this morning. This is going to be a great tool for capturing the solar eclipse in April!

#SkyWatch #Astrophotography #Seestar50 There was a brief window of clear sky last night so I continued my experimentation with the Seestar smart telescope. I pointed it at NGC7000, the North America Nebula, 2600 light years away in the Cygnus constellation. This image is 45 minutes of exposures captured and stacked by the scope and edited by me on my phone using nothing more than enhance. In the upper left corner, you can see the effect of field rotation that is a symptom of the Alt-Az mount.
