Bubble Nebula, Northern Lagoon Nebula, and Messier 52 Star Cluster

The Bubble Nebula (bottom-left corner), the Northern Lagoon Nebula (bottom-right corner), and the Messier 52 Star Cluster (top-left corner) can be found by continuing the line running from stars Schedar to Caph in the constellation Cassiopeia. They are located approximately 7,100, 4,100, and 4,600 light-years, respectively, from Earth. This trio of deep-sky objects was photographed from my backyard through a telescope for over 16 hours across four nights between September 5-23.

Falcon 9 Launch from the Connecticut Star Party 2022!

While attending the Connecticut Star Party on Saturday September, 24th, those of us there were pleasantly surprised to see the Falcon 9 launch that evening. This image was shot with at iPhone 13, and is time stamped 7:41pm.

Trio NGC7582, NGC7590 & NGC7599 from the Grus Quartet by Mathieu Guinot, sur Flickr

Located in the Grus Constellation, these 3 spiral galaxies are members of the Grus-quartet. The 4th member of this group is NGC7552, which is not inside this field of view.
The high starburst activity of NGC 7552 and NGC 7582 is thought to be a result from an interactions between these members. The distance to the galaxies is estimated to be between 55 and 70 millions light-years.
At the top the galaxy cluster Abell 1111 is dominated by two giant elliptical galaxies : PGC 71042 and PGC 71043.

Data from Telescope Live taken at El Sauce Observatory, Chile, from 2022/08/21 to 2022/09/20.

Target: M33 aka The Triangulum Galaxy in HOO/LRGB
This is my first time doing an HOO/LRGB Blend in Pixinisght, I'm very happy with how this one came out. It's crazy to me that I was able to pull the detail out of the nebulae detail in another galaxy! I've included a couple of close-up shots of the nebulae details, hope you enjoy!

Sun at the Equinox above the great pyramid of Giza
Sep 23rd 2022

The sides of the great pyramid are oriented to the cardinal directions in a very accurate way, the sun at the equinox rises from the true east point so the observer can easily see the sun rise aligned with the east west line along the northern or the southern sides of the great pyramid .

in this photo you can see the northern and eastern sides of the great pyramid, and the sun at the noon 23 sep 2022 few hours after the autumn equinox of 2022

Jupiter is at its Closest approach above the Pyramids of Giza

After an amazing night inside the Great Pyramid complex we shot this amazing shot for the closest approach of jupiter to the earth as a closet one in the last 6 decades

Date : 25 sep 2022 at 9 pm ( GMT+2)
Location: Giza, Egypt

The ancient Egyptians observed the five naked eye planets (Mercury, venus, Mars, Jupiter and Satutn), ancient Egyptian named the planets after Horus ( god of kingship and the sky), also they had known Jupiter and called it " Horus who illuminates the two lands "

To enter the Great Pyramid at night, you need a special permission and many procedures to take such photos

The Stephan's Quintet and NGC 7331
https://www.astrobin.com/full/1ecqff/0/
Copyright: Angelo F. Gambino, Giuseppe Guerrera & Claudio Antinoro

The field of view contains the NGC 7331 galaxy and the Stephan’s Quintet, already famous due to the recent images acquired by the cameras onboard the James Webb Space Telescope.
Using our modest amateur equipment we obtained a detailed image that shows many features that characterize the morphology of the galaxy cluster. Many small and evanescent galaxies are also observable in the background, almost confused with the stars.
The emission from these objects reached us after millions of years travelling at the speed of light. For this reason we are observing them as they were when the first dinosaurs started to populate the Earth, as in the case of NGC 7317 (one of the galaxies in the Quintet), that has a distance of about 350 millions of light-years.

The data were acquired in Castelbuono (Sicily, Italy) during the XXII Star Party delle Madonie organized by ORSA-Palermo, held between 1-3 July 2022.

M33 - Triangulum Galaxy. A a great fall galaxy!

M33 is apart of the local group of galaxies that include our Milky Way and Andromeda. Like Andromeda it is visible with the naked eye in clear dark skies.M33 is also on a collision course with the Milky Way and Andromeda and in several billion years time they will all be merged into one galaxy.

Pavo Triplet by Mathieu Guinot, sur Flickr

The Galaxy Triplet NGC 6769, NGC6770 & NGC6771 is a gravitational interacting triplet of galaxies, located about 190 million light years away in the southern constellation of Pavo (the Peacock).
There are many others remarquables galaxies in the FOV, the most important ones are IC 4842 at the bottom and IC 4845 on the top corner left.

Rho Ophiuchi under La Palma sky by Martin Giraud

Rho Ophiuchi under La Palma sky

Hello I’m glad to share my picture of Rho Ophiuchi. Rho Ophiuchi is one of my favorite part of the sky because of its colors ! I already tried to catch it before but the result was quite less good. Since I acquired the RedCat 51 this target was on the top of my todo list. In June I went for an astrophotography trip in La Palma and at this occasion I did my photography.

La Palma island in Canary, is a very well known location by the astrophotographers. Indeed the sky conditions are outstanding enough that it’s considered as one of the best spot of the north hemisphere for astronomy. It’s a Volcanic island that hosts several international telescopes regrouped into a park called Roque de los Muchachos that is located on the top of the caldeira at 2400m.

The sky was so good there that the process was very easy. I use the Sky Adventurer mount with the Redcat 51, and It was only my second attempt with this equipment so I decided to not expose too long (45 sec) to avoid any star trail. Now that I have experimented it a little more I know that I can expose until 3 minutes. I shot 211 pictures in total and I took 90% of the best pics which give a final photo with 2h22 exposure.

Equipement : Canon 6D modified - Star Adventurer - Redcat 51 (250mm)
Data : 211 pictures - 124 darks - 55 flats - 31 offsets
Settings : ISO 8000 - f/4.9 - 45 sec
