Starship Asterisk*

Jupiter, April 08-2019 Another picture with plenty of details of Jupiter. I draw attention to the left turbulence of the GRS as well as details that stand out within it. The eye of the hurricane has excelled a lot this early in the season being easily recorded. https://astrob.in/400016/0/rawthumb/ga...

Mars this year gave a real Show. . . That being so, I could not fail to register it. This composition, made with an approximate interval of 10 to 15 days between the photos, starts on July 31 when the planet reaches the largest apparent diameter (24.3 "arc) and ends on December 5 when it was wi...

THE STAR PARADE This may seem like a simple picture, but in fact, besides counting on luck, it had to be very well planned. Planned to catch the precise moment the HD 168233, of magnitude +9.25, was exactly between the ring of Saturn and the globe of the planet. A little before, or shortly after, sh...

https://cdn.astrobin.com/thumbs/cBCFKXs6R1Ux_1824x0_wmhqkGbg.jpg This was probably the best Saturn of the year and also the last one before dedicating myself to the professional appointments and travels that prevented me from taking photos as I have in recent weeks. There are many visible details a...

https://cdn.astrobin.com/thumbs/YTCE1uBxC1cG_1824x0_wmhqkGbg.jpg Now that our red neighbor is retreating, the storm is dwindling and the details are coming, pity that the apparent diameter is rapidly diminishing as the phase progresses. Despite the difficulties, this is the right time to get great ...

https://cdn.astrobin.com/thumbs/Et7672aHi2F9_1824x0_wmhqkGbg.jpg Saturn, August 04-2018 This was one of the photos I liked the most about Saturn this year. The motif is simple as it gives it to perceive those fundamental details of the Lord of the Rings such as: Hexagon well detached as well as the...

https://cdn.astrobin.com/thumbs/UsqZjscQoQGO_1824x0_wmhqkGbg.jpg With the dust coming down many details start to get noticeable! Vallis Marineris very visible near 8 am, Chryse, Acidalia and Argyre Planitia stand out easily as well as Margaritifer and Meridiani Planum, but what I liked was to be ab...

https://cdn.astrobin.com/thumbs/BxDy_rLlATq-_1824x0_wmhqkGbg.jpg It will certainly be my best Jupiter of the 2018 season because as the planet has passed opposition times I can hardly get anything better. Many details are visible but what is most noticeable is the Oval BA at 4am. The black and whit...

https://cdn.astrobin.com/thumbs/0ABnvNA2BWJn_1824x0_wmhqkGbg.jpg Certainly my best photo of Mars this year, many details easily visible both at the wavelength of visible and in the infrared. Vallis Marineris stands out in the center of the photo as well as several other regions around him, but what...

https://cdn.astrobin.com/thumbs/DNK84RbOH2i1_1824x0_wmhqkGbg.jpg In this photo made with only 14 minutes of interval we can see well how the IR pass filter 685 nm easily highlights some formations. In the specific case the polar hexagon and the polar hurricane eye become much better contrasted and ...

https://cdn.astrobin.com/thumbs/30OsXh_NOrse_1824x0_wmhqkGbg.jpg Which was not my surprise when processing the photo and discovering that it had captured the star HD 168233 exactly between the C-ring and the limb of Saturn. This star has magnitude estimated at +9.25 and I never thought it would sta...

https://cdn.astrobin.com/thumbs/b7U622y6s8MD_1824x0_wmhqkGbg.jpg Now, a year after being selected among the 10 finalists in 3,800 entries in the Royal Observatory Greenwich contest, I finally decided to post this photo on Astrobin where it will have greater visibility. Photo taken in the opposition...
