The Mineral Moon
URL: https://tripswithrosie.com
Copyright: Rositsa Dimitrova
Social: https://www.instagram.com/rosie.kerrigan/ December and January are perfect to photograph the true colours of the Moon - the so called Mineral Moon. Our beautiful satellite stands highest in the sky during these months. If you take a few dozen photos (or a video) and stack them together, you'll be able to see colours of the minerals - silica, iron, titanium and others. As the Moon reflects the very bright sunlight, we can't really see those with a naked eye.

Hi! This would be my first post here!

On January 15th, 2022, I was talking to a friend in Cozumel who works at the Planetarium. She mentioned that the ISS was going to be near Jupiter that night, and I quickly grabbed my phone and used Ed Morana's ISS Transit Prediction app (You can find it here:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta ... l=en&gl=US

And noticed that I was so lucky!! Soooo lucky that the transit was happening in 4 hours, just 10 minutes from my home driving, in a very accessible road!! The weather was not too promising, however. One of the weather apps said 40% cloudy at the time of the transit, others said less than 10%. But I got everything ready: laptop, ZWO camera, telescope, mount, etc and drove there, arriving at around 6:30PM. The transit would happen at exactly 7:08:15 PM (GMT-5), and would last only a fraction of a second! But I was ready! I had read a previous APOD (https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap200923.html) had used 0.35ms timing for every frame, and so I used those same settings!!

Here was the location of the transit:

Image

This image is the raw, unedited frame from which I placed the ISS back in its position on Jupiter:

This image has more of the original, unedited, raw frames:

And this image is the stacked frames of Jupiter (in which we get to see Io) and the ISS, combined:

ISS Transiting Jupiter Stacked Frames


by Rene Saade, on Flickr

The really neat thing is that the stacked frames show the Great Red Spot!! I was also lucky that the ISS transit happened at a time when the Great Red Spot was visible to us on Earth!

The raw frames are 0.35ms, gain 350, ZWO ASI290MM, no filters, on a CEM25P mount. 7:08:15PM (GMT-5), Cozumel, Quintana Roo, Mexico.

ImageA Hole in the Moon by Tom Glenn, on Flickr

This image shows the large impact crater Copernicus along the sunset terminator, with the eastern rim terraces still in sunlight but the crater floor completely shrouded in darkness. The prominent crater Kepler is on the left of the image, and extensive rays can be observed emanating from Kepler, Copernicus and Aristarchus (which is out of frame at upper left). The Hortensius domes region, formed by volcanic activity, is prominent near the center of the image. The image was captured August 24, 2019, at 06:07 local time (PDT) from San Diego, CA.

Sh2-224 in natural colors by Jose Carballada, on Flickr

Description of this object from waid-observatory.com :
Sh2-224 is a very faint supernova remnant located approximately 14,700 lightyears distant in the constellation Auriga. This unusual celestial object is also designated VRO 42.05.01 and has been the object of considerable research using both ground based and space based telescopes including the ROSAT and the Dominion Radio Astronomy Observatory. The nebula created by the supernova explosion is composed of two visual parts. It is postulated the supernova explosion created a bubble like structure. (Visible in the 'botton right' of the image.) As the shockwave from the explosion progressed into a very low density region of the interstellar medium, a "wing" component was expelled. (Visible in the 'top right' of the image.)

A fiery bubble and Planetary Nebula
A wide view of the Bubble Nebula and a Planetary nebula (KjPn8) in the constellation Cassiopeia. The Bubble Nebula (NGC 7635) is a HII, emission nebula with the bubble created by the large and hot central star (BD+60˚ 2522) which in the top image is located in the lower part of the bubble. Towers of HII emission can be seen all around the bubble pointing towards the central star. The planetary nebula KjPN8 (PN G 112.5-00.1) is an interesting and unusual planetary nebula. It's located in the upper right of the image. It has a bipolar lobe of about 14 arcmin in size. The central star and core of the planetary nebula is a very small 3-4 arc sec. It's very red and seems to have a ring of HII emission around it. (See the KjPN8 crop above). Click on this image to see the full resolution view and the small core of the planetary nebula. There are several theories about how this planetary nebula formed. New research using ground based and the Hubble Space Telescope points to two separate events. Two bipolar stars essentially creating two planetary nebula. Its one of the largest bipolar lobes known and may be one of the only objects of this type discovered. KjPn8 was discovered in 1971 by M.A. Kazaryn and E.h. Pavsamyan. I collected 19hrs of Ha and OIII data on this object. However it has very little OIII and mainly emits in the HII spectrum.

HI everyone,

Here is my submit for APOD

Imagenothern lights APOD by Andrea VE, sur Flickr

« It has been a long time since we have seen such a beautiful and spectacular solar flare. The material ejected with fury by our Star is now heading towards the Earth and its magnetic field, which it should tickle tomorrow. This is good news for aurora enthusiasts, and of course, photographers who hunt them. Because the shock of the CME (Coronal Mass Ejection) on the magnetosphere, followed by the interaction of solar particles with those of the upper atmosphere, should be visible in sumptuous dances of auroras from this Saturday, October 30, after the plasma has covered the 150 million kilometers that separate us »
This image was taken on 1st November 9.00pm, near Akureyri in Iceland. We were so exiting to see such a spectacle that we run out with a camera and forget to switched off the lights and close the door, those lights that give this image a specific atmosphere.

Thanks Earth, we won’t forget this moment.

A cluster of rampant star formation and glowing gas: The Great Nebula in Orion by William Ostling, on Flickr

Full write up here: https://theastroenthusiast.com/a-luminous-m42/
The first image of my new mount! The GEM28 has turned out to be an incredibly accurate mount, giving me sharp stars at 600mm with 4 minute exposures!

The Great Orion Nebula, an immense, nearby starbirth region, is probably the most famous of all astronomical nebulas. Here, glowing gas surrounds hot young stars at the edge of an immense interstellar molecular cloud only 1500 light-years away. The bright core illuminates the surrounding the star cluster, highlighting the streams of dark dust on top.
