Shot in the dark (sic) : d'après mes savants calculs (sûrement à l'ouest donc), le WE prochain (10/11) sera l'un des meilleurs pour tenter d'observer la comète Lemmon (se rapprochant, et encore assez loin du soleil le matin). Mais faut être motivé (ça commence vers 2/3 heures du mat jusqu'au lever du soleil). Est-ce que vous connaissez des gens avec un ciel pas trop dégueu et pas trop trop loin de Paris qui se chauffent pour faire un truc dans la nuit du ven. ou du sam. ?

Last images of the morning from both telescopes. Aimed them to the #planet #Jupiter. This first image is by the Odyssey Pro and the second from the s50. Though you can see Jupiter clearly on the first image none of the moons are visible. In thebs50 image Jupiter is to bright, but you can clearly see its moons #Ganymede (to the left) and #Callisto (to the right). #unistellar #odyssey pro #space #astronomy #amateur #seestar #S50

While we were all fighting the fascist during his first term, we maybe missed this magnificent celestial event. The passing of Comet Neowise (C/2020 F3).

Neowise was noted as the brightest comet in the Northern Hemisphere since Comet Haley-Bopp in 1997. It was discovered in March of 2020, then reached its epoch on July 6, 2020.

(Source: no idea. I found it on my computer. If you know, please share.)

Ok this was a "secondary target" for tonight, but it came out surprisingly well... 120 lights, 60s each, from 2:30 to 4:30 am. Part of those flares are dew 😅

(and now, to bed!)

#astronomy #astrophotography

I just realized that instead of the pleiades which are going to sit just here for the eons to come, I could have tried Comet Lemmon... I'm not a smart man. And upcoming nights will be cloudy 😢
#astronomy #astrphotography

Last night primary target, M81 and M82, again. Not sure the result is better than the previous night, I'd have to come back at them later...

196 lights 60s each (but with clouds in part of the session, also: more moon)

#astronomy #astrophotography

Well, I'm quite pleased by the result. With ~270 * 30s lights.

Probably not the best night to try M81 & M82 😅

This one turned out absolutely gorgeous 😍



This is the Teddy Bear Nebula (NGC 7822) in SHO. One of the targets I captured during an unbelievable stretch of near-perfect weather few weeks ago. A total integration time of about 24.3 hours.



FYI, for those that don't know, SHO means:

• Red = sulphur
  
• Green = hydrogen
  
• Blue = oxygen
  

Astronomers found an #atmosphere where they least expected it—clinging to an #exoplanet that’s too small, too hot and too old to have air, at least in theory.

Observations of the blazing-hot lava #planet TOI-561 b suggest not only that it has a thick atmosphere but also that it may have had one for billions of years.

This is the strongest evidence yet for "air" around a hot rocky world that isn’t just a temporary veil of #hydrogen and #helium left over from planetary formation.

Hazy moon below Antares tonight.
