29 Dec 2020 from Danville, CA. The last full moon of 2020 and of the decade. It has definitely been a year unlike any other, but hopefully, we can ring in the new year with hope and joy. Here's to2021! Wishing you all a very HAPPY NEW YEAR! Canon 80D 1260mm focal length taken at a distance of 1800ft (550m) from my friends through a thin layer of clouds. The clouds scattered the light and I could see the moon illuminating the sky full 10 minutes before it crested the ridge. Planned with PhotoPills

I took this picture inside an old train graveyard in southern of Bolivia (South America).
These trains were used in the 1950s to transport minerals from Andes to Pacific Ocean
and now they are an attraction to remember those times.
I waited for the Milky Way core and Mars to compose with the main train.

Hour: 00:32 am

Wide field Orion

Copyright: Matt Dieterich
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/507 ... 9e2b_b.jpg I've wanted to capture a long exposure of the constellation Orion to reveal many of the beautiful deep sky objects for quite a few years. The red emission nebulae surrounding Orion, such as Barnard's Loop, require dark night skies to be fully revealed. In this tutorial I will show you how to edit wide field astrophotography data of Orion and I hope this inspires you to attempt your own images of this stunning area! You can also download the Orion data in the video description to follow along and edit with me for practice.

EXIF
Modified Nikon Z6 and 50mm lens at f/3.2 ISO 1600 and ISO 3200. 24x4 min + 21x3 min = total 159 minutes. Skywatcher StarAdventurer for tracking.

Newbie here - first time to visit Starship Asterisk*, so I hope this is the correct place to submit an image that people would consider for APOD.

I'm sure a lot of people have already posted images of Jupiter and Saturn on December 21, but here is an HDR image that was created using Celestron 9.25" f/10 Schmidt-Cassegrain, Nikon Z7, Celestron AVX Mount, stacked frames from 5 x 1 min 2160p videos acquired at 30 fps with varying ISO gains (64, 100, 200, 400, 800), and postprocessed using PIPP, AutoStakkert, RegiStax, and Photoshop.

Thank you for visiting,

The first entry in the Messier catalog is also known as the Crab Nebula. The supernova remnant is in the constellation of Taurus. It lies 6,500 light-years from Earth, and measures about 13 light-years across.

The analysis of early photographs of the nebula taken years apart revealed that it was expanding. Tracing the expansion back revealed that the nebula must have become visible on Earth about 900 years before.

Historical records revealed that a new star bright enough to be seen in the daytime had been recorded in the same part of the sky by Chinese astronomers on 4 July 1054. The supernova was visible to the naked eye for about two years. It is expanding at a rate of about 1,500 kilometers per second, or 0.5% of the speed of light. (Source: Wikipedia)

Humanity has come a long way. I can imagine the look on the faces of the people who traced back this supernova remnant to an explosion recorded in our relatively recent history. I wonder if Betelgeuse will give us a similar experience in our lifetime.

Clear Skies,
Michel Makhlouta

WIth the Great Conjunction observed widely, I was struck by the image taken by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (http://lroc.sese.asu.edu/posts/1174)- it looked more -or-less like my own image(s) despite the much more expensive equipment and exotic location.

I realized that the baseline of about 245,000 miles should make for a noticeable 3-D effect by combining the Earth-based and lunar images. My image (the left one in the pair) is a 1/30sec exposure using a C-5 (1250mm f.l.) taken in Ames, IA at 23:30UTC on 12/21.

The two images were taken about 2 hours 15m apart (LRO at 21:15UTC, mine at 23:30UTC) - in that time, Jupiter moved about twice its own diameter (along the plane of its rings) to the East with respect to Saturn. So to do the combination, I had to 'adjust' my image by moving Jupiter to where it was at 21:15UTC. Jupiter appears larger in my image as it is a bit overexposed and affected by processing that clarified Saturn's image.

The 3D pair is designed to be viewed cross-eyed (I can provide a parallel-view or anaglyph [red-blue] version if needed. Jupiter really pops out. If the LRO image had shown the moons of Jupiter or background stars, that would have been better...Image

STROTTNER-DRECHSLER 1 / COCO'S NEBULA

StDr1 (PNG 185.1+-0.9) is a new spectrum confirmed planetary nebula (PN) in the constellation of Taurus.
The PN was discovered in October 2019 by the French-German research team Marcel Drechsler and Xavier Strottner.
The potential central star of StDr 1 is located at coordinates 05:53:48.86 +24:02:41.45.
If this star is used as a calculation basis, then StDr 1 is located at a distance of 9203 light years from Earth.
For a PN at this distance, it is unusually bright.
In addition, this photo was the first to detect an annular H-alpha structure around StDr 1.

Discoverers: Marcel Drechsler, Xavier Strottner
Photographer: Rochus Hess
Image processing: Marcel Drechsler
Location: Vega Observatory Haus der Natur Salzburg (Austria)
Telescope: 1 metre ASA telescope at the "Vega Observatory Haus der Natur Salzburg"
Camera: FLI MicroLine 16803
Exposure: 26x20min H-Alpha, 17x20min OIII and 6x5min RGB each, total 15.8 hours

The Morning Star
Copyright: György Soponyai

This photo presents the celestial path of planet Venus on the Eastern sky between end of June and the middle of December capturing with a wide-field and a telephoto lens near Mogyoród, Hungary. The pictures were taken at the time when the Sun was located exactly seven degrees below the horizon.

At the bottom of the photo I tried to demonstrate the change of the visible size and phase of Venus as it slowly turned from crescent to a disk.
