The crew of #Artemis II proposed to name a crater Carroll, after Commander Reid Wiseman’s late wife. He will be able to see it from Earth at favorable #libration. I indicated the position on one of my #lunar pics. (image with #Takahashi Mewlon 250) #astronomy #moon #artemisII #astrophotography

#color on the #Moon. Original image made by #artemisII crew with Nikon D5 and 80-400 lens, enhanced in PS by me (sharpness, colors, contrast). Crater on terminator is #Vavilov, left of #Hertzsprung basin. #space #astronomy #geology #astrophotography Such colors are also visible on the nearside.

Latest #ArtemisII #lunar image gently reprocessed. They made it with #Nikon #Z9 and 400mm lens. Striking: I can detect no atmospheric dispersion at the lunar limb in the colors, logical ;). #artemis #moon #astronomy #astrophotography

Perspective... the #moon by #artemisII crew member on April 3, compared to one of my images of the full moon. They see things we never get to see... My full moon image downsized to match the size of the Artemis one. #astronomy #astrophotography #nasa #space #esa #artemis

#ArtemisII image reprocessed (color cast, noise, contrast). Data for the original picture: Nikon D5, 14-24mm 2.8 AFS at 22mm, 1/4s at f/4, ISO 51200. Earth at night, with Venus at 11 o'clock position. #astronomy #astrophotography Image credit: Image Credit: #NASA/ Reid Wiseman

#comet #Hyakutake 30th anniversary. It was an incredible sight, a comet overhead with a naked eye visible tail of over 50 degrees long in a dark sky. Huge, greenish and bright. I took this slide film picture with Nikon FM2 in the Morvan region in Southern France. #astronomy #astrophotography

#Planet #Jupiter with moon #Europa on January 2. Images taken with #Celestron C9.25 EdgeHD, #Televue 2.5x barlow and #PlayerOne Uranus C camera. Seeing was fair. Right after the last image, we got snow... just in time to close the observatory roof. #astronomy #astrophotography #planets #solarsystem

#Saturn moons tonight, all aligned to the right side of the planet. Double exposure, once for Saturn, once for the moons. Stacked in PS. Iapetus missing because of too short a break in the clouds to get a second frame. Mimas in glare of Saturn #planets #solarsystem #astronomy #astrophotography

#comet C/2025 K1/K2 Atlas on nov 22. Image with Vixen SD115II refractor at f/7.7. 170 x 30s. Inset shows second fragment of the comet. Original image: www.flickr.com/photos/dodi-... #astronomy #astrophotography #space #comets

#saturn tonight, with rings tilt less than 0.5 deg. We will have to wait till 2038 to see them fully edge on. But the coming 2 weeks you still have the chance to see them like this. Imaged with my #Celestron C9.25 EdgeHD telescope. #space #solarsystem #saturnrings #astronomy #astrophotography

Probably my last image of #comet C/2025 A6 #Lemmon. Weather has not been good the last month, I missed the best of this comet. This one taken with the comet passing behind tree branches :). With #Celestron C9.25 EdgeHD, #Nikon #Zf, 60 x 15s. #astronomy #astrophotography #space #comets

Finally! After a month of clouds, a short break in the cloud cover for #comet C/2025 A6 #Lemmon. I could make 6 x 15s exposure with Nikon Z6 and 85mm 1.8. Comet easy visible with naked eye, and over 10 degrees tail in binoculars. Then again... clouds. #astronomy #astrophotography #comets #belgium

#Messier 46 and Messier 47. A tiny ring is visible in M46, #PlanetaryNebula #NGC2438. A weaker planetary nebula sits to the right of M46: PN M1-18. Image from Yass, NSW with #Sharpstar 140mm and #ZWO #ASI6200MC. Larger: www.flickr.com/photos/dodi-... #astronomy #astrophotography #space #deepsky

#Saturn on Sep. 30, imaged with #Takahashi #Mewlon 210 telescope with fair seeing. Transparency not ideal, hence a bit more noise than usual because of the higher gain used on the camera. Rings are slowly closing (again). #astronomy #astrophotography #solarsystem #planets #space

#comet C/2025 A6 Lemmon on Oct. 1. Tail structure is already very nice. Unfortunately just 12 x 120s before the fog rolled in this morning. Astro-Physics AP130GTX refractor at f/5. ZWO ASI2600MC, tracked on the comet. #astronomy #astrophotography #solarsystem #comets #comettail #space

#Comet C/2025 A6 ( #Lemmon) on Sep. 28. Maybe a naked eye target end Oct/early Nov. Now just visible in binoculars from a dark sky. Image with #Astro-Physics #130GTX at f/5. #ZWO ASI2600MC camera, 60 x 60s exposure. #astronomy #astrophotography #solarsystem #space #comets

#Saturn south polar decagon. Combination of my images of Sep 5 and 18 in polar projection. #astronomy #astrophotography #planets #solarsystem #polarstorm

My season's best #Saturn image of last night, near the limits of my #celestron C9.25HD with Saturn just 35 deg high. Details on the image. The Seeliger effect of opposition is clearly visible (bright ring), the faint oval has rotated a bit away. #astronomy #astrophotography #planets #solarsystem

#Saturn near opposition on Sep. 18. There is a bright oval in the STZ, and the rings are brighter now because of the #Seeliger effect. Image made last night with #Celestron C9.25HD, #Zeiss 2x barlow, #PlayerOneAstronomy Uranus C camera. #astronomy #astrophotography #solarsystem #planets #rings

#Jupiter this morning under good seeing conditions with the #redspot. Imaged with #Celestron C9.25 EdgeHD telescope, #zeiss 2x barlow and #PlayerOneAstronomy Uranus C camera. #astronomy #solarsystem #planets #astrophotography

Projection of my infrared image of the south pole of #Saturn. It shows a decagon form. Weirdly enough, the decagon stays put and does not rotate with the planet. Original image made of 5 infrared images, derotated with #Celestron C9.25HD at f/25. #astronomy #astrophotography #solarsystem #planets

#Saturn last night under good seeing. Image with #Celestron C9.25HD and #PlayerOneCameras Uranus C camera. Derotation of 5 videos of 180s in Winjupos, processing with Adobe PS. #astronomy #astrophotography #space #solarsystem #planets

#solar activity on Aug 30 and Sep 2. Single shot images with #Nikon #Z8 in prime focus of my vintage 1980 #VixenTelescopes 102mm f/15 long focus refractor. A lot of #sunspots visible for the moment. #sun #spaceweather #astronomy #astrophotography
