Jupiter & Io Last Saturday I decided to do something I haven't done in almost a year, take the 10" Dobsonian out for a spin and have a go at planetary photography. My window was short - I had around 2 hours to gather data, and my "skill" was a bit rusty, but I was able to salvage one of the captures I got and get something I was pleased with out of it. . 51s video capture at 50 FPS 1020 of 2550 frames stacked (40%) Exposure: 25ms Gain: 101 Tracking: by hand Processed in PiPP, stacked in AutoStakkert, wavelets in Registax and final processing in Photoshop . 10" Dobsonian (Skyline by Orion Telescopes) ZWO asi462mc Celestron X-Cel LX 2x Barlow Baader Skyglow-Moon IR Cut Filter . . . #astronomy #astrophotography #astrophoto #planetphotography #Jupiter #io #moon #greatredspot #grs #highpointscientific #OPTeam #earliestlight #astromaniacmag #cosmos #apod #photooftheday #photography #solarsystem #nasa #ig_astrophotography #space #rhodeisland #zwoasi #oriontelescopes #celestron #planet #nightsky #2021 #september #cityastronomy (at Providence, Rhode Island) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTjknriLDNF/?utm_medium=tumblr

*Lunar Surface* *It is always worthwhile to take a good look at our Moon and the interesting details on its surface. How pleasantly small our earthly problems become...* SINUS IRIDUM can be seen here in this pic & with Golden Handle. Golden Handle of the moon … a play of light on the lunar surface, along the terminator line, visible four to five days before full moon. At this time, the high peaks of the lunar Montes Jura (Jura Mountains) are lit by sunlight. They appear as a bright arc, in front of the flat and still-dark plain of lava on the moon, known as the Sinus Iridum (the Bay of Rainbows). It, in turn, is part of the larger lava plain we call the Mare Imbrium (Sea of Rains). This mountain range spread across 422 kilometres becomes visible on the tenth day of the first fortnight between the new moon day and full moon day. The sun’s light illuminates this mountain and when the light dims, the mountain displays a golden hue. This is why this feature is called the Golden Handle. Already Galileo Galilei (1564–1642) knew of the »golden handle« and used his observations to estimate the altitude of the moon mountains – a fascinating thought *Captured on:* __Saturday, Jan. 23, 2021 *Equipment*: __Explore Scientific ED 127mm Carbon Fiber f/7.5 AirSpaced APO Triplet OTA... __Paramount MX Mount... __ZWO ASI185MC Camera.... *Processing*: __approx 2000 frames captured in SharpCap for all images __Stacked in Autostakkert3 __Wavelets in Registax __Enhanced in Lightroom & Snapseed *Location:* __Bangalore, Karnataka, India *Sky Conditions:* __Bortle Scale 7.8 __Clear Sky, 8/10 __Few surrounding village lights interference #lunar #astronomy #cosmos #planetary #planetphotography #astrophotography #astrophysics #astrophotographyindia #moonphotography #bangaloreastronomyclub #delhiastronomyclub #sharpcap #explorescientific #paramount #snapseed #zwoasi #karnataka #india © Vijay Kapoor Follow My Instagram for More pics: http://Instagram.com/lunar_mountains_climber (at Bangalore, India) https://www.instagram.com/p/COhjs_jMUGl/?igshid=cnrna86o772l

*Lunar Surface* *SCHILLER of Lunar:* Very lengthened and South-East North-West oriented formation. Seems to come from the fusion of 2 craters or from a low-angled meteorite impact.

*Jupiter* is a gas giant with a mass two and a half times that of all the other planets in the Solar System combined, but less than one-thousandth the mass of the Sun.  #astronomy #cosmos #planetary #planetphotography #astrophotography #astrophysics #astrophotographyindia #jupiterphotography #bangaloreastronomyclub #delhiastronomyclub #sharpcap https://www.instagram.com/p/CO-L3nrJ_jE/?igshid=1lgvmqeu1rlq6

*Saturn* isn't the only planet to have rings, but it definitely has the most beautiful ones. The rings we see are made of groups of tiny ringlets that surround Saturn. They're made of chunks of ice and rock. Like Jupiter, Saturn is mostly a ball of hydrogen and helium. *Cassini Division structures* — In 1675, Giovanni Domenico Cassini determined that Saturn's ring was composed of multiple smaller rings with gaps between them; the largest of these gaps was later named the Cassini Division. This division is a 4,800-km-wide region between the A ring and B Ring. #astronomy #cosmos #planetary #planetphotography #astrophotography #astrophysics #astrophotographyindia #saturnphotography #bangaloreastronomyclub #delhiastronomyclub #sharpcap https://www.instagram.com/p/CO7s-7SJLPa/?igshid=s9ue80zmmmvf
