full disk of planet jupiter Great Red Spot visible and small moon to the right in a black sky
Wonderful views of Jupiter last night. Great red spot shown here with moon Io to the left. Taken with the skymax 150 and ZWOASI 585

Another shot at Copernicus crater. Just magnificent viewing tonight from Manchester UK. About 90km across and a mere billion years old. Star Trek's Beverley Crusher born in Copernicus city. Look up.

A couple of planets a few nights ago over Manchester UK. Jupiter and Uranus. Pretty good seeing and the Great Red Spot!! . About a thousand images stacked. zenithstar 61 scope. Look up

Close-up of the moon's surface showing a couple of prominent features
Aristarchus crater is deeper than the grand canyon and sits next to Herodotus in the Ocean of Storms. Using the Skymax 150 and ZWOASI 585 camera. About a 1000 images stacked.
Look up.

An image of our Moon, just off of being full. 5000 frames stacked in Autostakkert. QHY268C on a Skywatcher 190 Mak (1000mm). Finished off in Photoshop.
La Luna. Shot as a 5000 frame "movie" with SharpCap. Processed in AutoStakkert which aligns and stacks the best frames. The condensed version. #eastcoastkin #moon #lunar #photography #astrophotography #lunarphotography #moonphotography #solarsystem #space #sharpcap #qhy #digitalphotography
Today's #Sun! White-light capture and false colored using a SV503 102mm/f7 scope with 0.8 FF/FR and L-eNhance filter, Focus Cube, and #ASI2600MC in mono mode. Captured with #SharpCap and processed in #GIMP. ☀️🔭🦛
A picture of the Sun.
The nearest star to the planet Earth is called the Sun. Yesterday, it looked like this. #SVBONY #SV503, white light filter, #ZWO #ASI2600, #SharpCap #ImPPG #GIMP, and lots of luck since my AstropotaPOD only sees the Sun for about 20 minutes these days. #Astrophotography #Heliophysics #Solar ☀️🔭🦛
Yesterday's #Sun in white light with false color added. #SVBONY #SV503 102mm/f7 scope with #Baader white light filter (buy from my Etsy store at astropotamus.etsy.com/listing/1592...) and #ZWO #ASI2600. Captured with #SharpCap and processed with #ImPPG and #GIMP. #Solar #astrophotography ☀️🔭🦛
Today's #Sun seen in Hydrogen-alpha light through my #SolarMax II 60mm solar telescope with a @televueoptics.bsky.social 2.5X #PowerMate and a #ZWO #ASI432 camera. Focus provided by #RigelSystems, captured with #SharpCap and processed with #ImPPG and #GIMP. ☀️🔭🦛
A picture of the Sun showing some groups of sunspots. The big group in the middle is 4149.

Today's #Sun, taken just moments ago. The first image is a monochrome image of 50 subs stacked in #SharpCap processed in #ImPPG and finalized in #GIMP. The second image is the same as the first except falsely colored to be "solar orange." Which do you prefer? ☀️🔭🦛

A tad hot in Manchester UK so just a quick set up today.

Doing some #SharpCap #Solar #Astrophotography today, assuming the clouds cooperate. This is a raw, unprocessed, probably out of focus frame from my #ZWO #ASI432 camera. ☀️🔭🦛
Yeah, I didn't either until I saw a thing tucked away in #SharpCap about "scan for remote hardware." And my brain kicked in, I did some research, and...holy shit! This is a game-changer for me. This was the one thing EKOS/INDI had going that ASCOM didn't, and... I guess now it does!
I just got #ASCOM Remote Server working with the AstropotaPOD mount, solar cam, and normal cam! Now I can have #SharpCap do all the capture on my main PC while the Mele mini-PC just deals with connections. I still need to figure out how to get <100ms exposures (or maybe I can't?)
Today's Sun. #Coronado #SolarMax II 60mm DST with #ZWO #ASI432MM camera, captured in #SharpCap (1000 frames). Stacked in #Autostakkert, processed in #ImPPG and #GIMP.
Another #Sun #Astrophotography image. This one from November 05, 2023. What appears to be an eclipse is actually me masking out the central part of the ☀ in #GIMP and pushing the exposure to show the prominences. #Coronado #SolarMaxII #ZWO #ASI432 #SharpCap #GIMP

Close-up of the surface of the sun showing active regions
The surface of our nearest star today from Manchester UK. Big active region 4114 pretty much pointing at the Earth. Plenty to see.

Good viewing today from Manchester UK of our nearest star with the lunt 60 scope and zwoasi 174 mono camera. Enlargement of a nice prom and active regions 4105 and 4107
