Last chance to capture
12:50AM ET Saturn Titan Shadow
Sat, Sep 20, 2025Per Request:
This picture taken using a Dob10 telescope! I used an 8mm lens with a .6 moonfilter, the camera used was my android galaxy A14 with ProCamX. Trying to get both the shadow and the moon is extremely tough because if you drop the exposure too much you lose the moon but if exposure is not low enough... you lose the shadow.#titanmoon

Titan Moon's Shadow on Saturn!
Ok, this was one heck of a crazy time trying to get both Titan, the shadow and Saturn to be clear enough for a view. I finally got this using .9 filter, 8mm lens, and slightly dimmed using ProCamX.

#TitanMoon ‼️ Excellent summary of the geology around the Huygens probe landing site. Works well with that great processing of the descent images by D. Machacek (https://mastodon.social/@sharponlooker/113833784242139494).

🚀 Exciting news from Saturn’s moon, Titan! A new study reveals that methane-rich ice on Titan could potentially support life. Scientists believe that the unique chemistry and conditions on Titan might allow life to thrive even in the icy depths of space. 🌌🔬

Without diminishing Ingenuity's role and achievements, but the total awesomeness & science returns of a future succesful #NASADragonfly mission can't be understated.

This painting was inspired by images of the Cassini prob that visited Titan before. I imagine how it would look like flying through such a dense atmosphere and looking at the vast liquid methane lakes!
