I call the following design #Stargeezer , a tribute to the aging stargazer (which I am).

On that I say:

Said Schrodinger's cat with a smile
I'll be in the box with the vial
With the poison I'll be
Quantum tangled you see
Thus alive and dead both all the while

The #SolarSystem simulator shows weird things can happen. Watch closely as a big planet (just below the central large mass) encounters a small body and causes it to enter a very elliptical and reverse direction orbit.

Here's another #SolarSystem simulator mp4. In this case a large (red) planet ejects a small (black) small object. Big against small usually means only the small object shows any deviation.

black - asteroid
magenta - rocky planet
red - red giant

Thanks for bringing those features to attention. I wasn't aware of them. I have a number of photos of the moon I've taken over the years and looked through them to see if I happened to have picked up those features.

Alas, as your article states, these are transient views that are only visible for perhaps a few hours, so sadly I didn't happen to capture most of them. But I captured one. The eyes of #Clavius.

Good shot. Very wide field.

Here's my best comet shot of the same era, #HaleBopp in 1995.

I only have old (but decent) #telescope gear. I have a decently mounted 6 inch f/5 #Newtonian for example. The mount is a motor driven but manually controlled #EQ.

From what I'm seeing, to get to a point to get digital photos through an #AutoTrackingMount, I'd need a new electronically controlled mount, an #autoguider, and a #DigitalCamera capable of time exposures. Right?

That would easily cost 2k or more from what I see.

Am I seeing this right?

Or it could be that this is the situation:

An astronomer stared into space
To see who else lived in the place
So far science has found
That no others abound
Except for our pitiful race

@noom
Nice image. I was just reading about your scope. Sounds like a flexible package.

I have just about the opposite type of refractor, a #60mm f/17 long (very long) focus refractor. It, like your scope, can deliver fine images, though I've only tried lunar/planetary photography. And I certainly cannot do the wide field photography you do.

Here's a shot of #Tycho through my 60mm using a stack of around 50 frames.

That's a terrific photo.

I tried the #RosetteNebula with the #MicroObservatory, and barely got an image. Their photo equipment is beyond most amateur astronomers' equipment, but is old. Plus the web site allows a max of a 60 second exposure. That just isn't sufficient for that target.

Clear atmosphere always helps. So from what I'm reading the objective lens is about 90mm in diameter?

You did better than my #M42 effort using the publicly available #MicroObservatory 6 inch Mak-Newts.
