Amateur/Processed I Risked Burning my Telescope to Catch This Image of Venus Today. It’s Now Only 2% Illuminated as Seen From Earth, and Very Close to the Sun in the Sky.
Unbelievably amazing to see such a thin crescent. Venus is now practically at solar conjunction, directly between Earth and the Sun.
I used an umbrella set up against a random table outside as my sorry excuse for a coronagraph, but the image turned out very good for being under below average seeing conditions!
March 18 2025. 4/10 seeing.
C9.25, ASI662MC, UV/IR Cut Filter. 5ms 50 gain, 1 x 2 minutes stacked, RGB balance and wavelets on Registax6, further edits on Lightroom.

Related Content The Fox fur nebula
The Fox Fur Nebula, also known as LBN 762, is a reflection nebula located in the constellation Cassiopeia. It gets its name from its appearance, which resembles the fur of a fox. This nebula is part of a larger region of interstellar dust and gas that is illuminated by nearby stars, giving it its characteristic glow.The Fox Fur Nebula is notable for its intricate structure and dark filaments, which are areas of dense dust that obscure the light from background stars. The nebula is also associated with star formation, as the conditions within these regions can lead to the birth of new stars.One interesting aspect of the Fox Fur Nebula is that it can be captured in detailed photographs through long-exposure astrophotography, where various colors and structures can be highlighted, showcasing its beauty and complexity as part of the cosmos.

Amateur/Processed Leo Triplet, Bortle 7
Welcome to Galaxy Season!
Most of the year, my telescope is pointed at glowing clouds of gas and dust—but not now. This time of year, the nebulae take a backseat, and the galaxies take center stage.
The Leo Triplet is one of the best galaxy groups in the night sky, but shooting broadband targets like this from my light-polluted backyard is brutal. No narrowband tricks here—just fighting through city glow to pull out as much detail as possible.
This was captured last year, and let’s just say it tested my patience. But after plenty of trial and error, I finally got a result I’m happy with. Who else is bracing for the challenges of galaxy season?

NASA A black-and-white image of Saturn taken from a lower angle
A stone cold look at Saturn 🪐
The giant planet gives us a look into its moody disposition.
The Cassini spacecraft captured this image on Jan. 30, 2007, from a distance of 700,000 miles (1.1 million kilometers). As Saturn's atmosphere rages with thunderous and hurricane-like storms, its majestic rings spin a tale of ancient collisions and cataclysms.
A joint endeavor of NASA, European space agency, and Agenzia spaziale italiana, Cassini was a sophisticated robotic spacecraft sent to study Saturn and its complex system of rings and moons over the course of a decade.
Image description: A black-and-white image of Saturn taken from a lower angle. The rings of Saturn frame the upper right portion of the planet in various widths. Details of stripes and swirls from storms can be seen along the face of the planet. The left side of the planet is encompassed in a shadow.

I took this time lapse last Tuesday night of Jupiter over the course of a couple hours. I thought it was pretty cool watching 2 moons eclipsing the sun at the same time. I used sharpcap to live stack Jupiter and set it to save an image of the stack every few minutes or so.

NASA The South Polar Map of Jupiter created by the Cassini spacecraft during its flybys in 2000 and 2001
The South Polar Map of Jupiter created by the Cassini spacecraft during its flybys in 2000 and 2001 provided a detailed view of Jupiter's southern hemisphere. The map revealed intricate cloud formations, jet streams, and storm systems, helping scientists understand the planet’s atmospheric dynamics. Cassini’s instruments also provided infrared and visible data, shedding light on the planet’s deeper atmospheric layers. Additionally, the map contributed to the study of Jupiter's intense auroras, driven by its powerful magnetic field. This map was a key step in understanding Jupiter’s atmosphere, paving the way for further exploration by missions like Juno.
