Astrophoto thread (your own photos please)

Took a shot of the lunar eclipse a few hours ago. This is at 2201HRS local (Philippine time), just a few minutes before reaching total.

Used a Canon S3IS bridge cam, thus the low-quality. But I make do with what I have so...

Tonight was an incredibly foggy night which is rare for my area so I decided to play around with the lighting.

The rest of the album (several non-astrophoto pics too) is here: http://s226.photobucket.com/albums/dd230/Zatnikitelman/Astronomy/Foggy Night/

hello my friends,
I would like your opinion about this ...it was recorded by me on 14.jan 2012

 

[agentgonzo]

I would imagine that there were two objects that you confused as one. I can't see what's happening in your video as it's just lots of shots of the sky, but what I would imagine happened is that you went out and didn't notice that Jupiter was up. Then you saw this moving object (which is likely to have been either a plane or the ISS) that passed overhead on a trajectory that took it near Jupiter. When you looked away from it and went to your balcony, it passed out of view and you saw Jupiter, mistakenly thinking that it was the object you first saw.

Yea, maybe when it passed out of view I saw Jupiter ...that's very possible.

Got my new QHY5T camera today for high resolution planetary images.
Tried it out real quick today under poor seeing conditions; not too shabby for first light !

 

[Codz]

Nice. Could you attempt Mars?

Drool... Aw, stupid sexy Jupiter...

That's some cool imagery!

 

[Yoda]

Yeah, just have to drag myself out of bed some day soon to do Mars.

 

[agentgonzo]

Yoda - that's a really nice image. Very clear and not a lot of noise. I'm impressed!

 

[Codz]

Yeah, just have to drag myself out of bed some day soon to do Mars.

Great! It's coming to opposition in a couple months.:thumbup:

I'll make a first attempt later this week; I'll post whatever results I get.

 

[Yoda]

Imaged Mars early this AM; will post results later.

Processed some of the images; not good enough to post.
Seeing was sort of lousy this morning.
Better luck next time.

Some widefield shots of the Moon, Venus and Jupiter tonight from the UK:

 

[MaverickSawyer]

Shot through my telescope's eyepiece with a point and shoot camera.

I took a look at Mars recently in my 102mm frac and was amazed by the detail I got. You could see one polar cap to the north and a few other surface features. I wish I had my camera with me at the time.

Steady night tonight; imaged Jupiter.
Equipment: Meade 8" LX90 imaged with QHY5T ( 500 images stacked with Registack)

Beautiful shot of the GRS.:thumbup:

Jupiter, Uranus and Venus. Shot through cellular camera (Samsung Fascinate).

Uranus is in-between the others, but at too low of a magnitude for direct observation.
