ASTROPHOTOGRAPHY

The Eagle Nebula Captured using a Canon EOS Ra Mirrorless Camera and a Sky-Watcher Esprit 150 Telescope. My Images on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/astrobackyard/ The image includes just 12 x 5-minutes at IS 3200 for a grand total of 1 hour. The noise performance of the Canon EOS Ra is impressive, especially considering how hot this night was. The Radian Telescopes Triad Ultra filter (Quad Band) is a fantastic choice for imaging deep-sky nebulae like this from the city.

Latest update on Comet SWAN, Comet Atlas, Comet Neowise, Comet PANSTARRS and Comet Lemmon: Where are these Comet SWAN and Comet Atlas right now? Well both these comets are flying from North East part of the sky just before sunrise from 4:30 to 5:30 AM. I am not sure about Comet Atlas, but Comet SWAN still has a chance to get a bit brighter than what it is and it might be visible with binoculars, very difficult for a normal observer to see without a telescope. If it does appear, it might be visible in the North East part of the sky. Comet Swan and Comet Atlas these two comets right now making headline news all over the world. Not only Astronomers, but general public tuned into this news to see if they have a chance to peek at a big green comet. Initial reports of Comet Atlas sounded like this will be the brightest comet of 2020. This Comet Atlas was discovered by the ATLAS Program Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System (ATLAS). That is why the comet is named after ATLAS. When it was discovered the comet had a magnitude of 19.6, pretty faint. It was discovered fairly recently on December 28th 2019 Comet SWAN was discovered by the camera SWAN on SOHO spacecraft March 25th. We didn’t really determine whether Comet SWAN is coming from 5000 years orbit or half-a-million years orbit. SOHO program found the Hydrogen signature outside the Sun which revealed Comet SWAN. But Comet SWAN started coming from the southern hemisphere. Comet Neowise [Comet C/2020 F3 (NEOWISE)] is new comet discovered March 26th day after Comet SWAN was discovered. It will come close to the sun (Perihelion) on July 3, 2020. We are also tracking Comet C/2017 T2 (PANSTARRS) and Comet C/2019 U6 (Lemmon) at this time.

Latest Update on Comet Swan: It is visible for North East part of the morning sky in the Northern Hemisphere. However it appears so close to Horizon between 4:30-5:30 AM in the morning CST. By the time, it is moving up to a decent height from Horizon, Sun is outshining the Comet and taking a picture of this comet or Viewing this Comet SWAN is becoming very difficult. Latest Update on Comet Atlas: Astronomers studying this Comet Atlas says, as the Comet Atlas is shedding outer parts crumbling into pieces, there is a bizarre outcome of finding another smaller comet inside the Comet Atlas. This comet is providing lot of interesting insightful data that we never had before. Supernova SN 2020jfo in M61 galaxy I was able to take a picture of Supernova SN 2020jfo. It seems extremely bright and size of this explosion is very much in comparison to the brightness of the Core. It is so amazing to see a star explosion from 62.5 million light years away. Pentagon released 3 UFO videos: One of the subscribers who is a student asked me to take a picture of Sombrero Galaxy. That galaxy looks like flying saucer or UFO - Unidentified Flying Object. It is interest to share the latest 3 Pentagon UFO videos along the picture of Sombrero Galaxy.

Imaging the WhirlPool Galaxy at 2000MM Focal length With My Edge Hd 800 8 inch Telescope And Celestron AVX Mount and ZWO ASI 1600MM Cool mono Camera with LRGB Filters.This is still a work in Progress. This is my original Astrophotography setup.I started Astrophotography at 2000MM I did it the hard way. Most people start with a small Refractor which is way easier .I like a challenge.

Update: 05/16/2020 - Comet SWAN and Comet ATLAS are going to be one on top of other on May 22nd, 2020 from the Northern hemisphere view. They are close to horizon and only can be viewed through telescopes because of their magnitude. Also both comes are millions of kilometres a part of even though they visibly appear couple of degrees to each other. If these comets are bright as they were expected, it would have been a once a life time celestial wonder which we are missing to see without telescopes. Credits: Stellarium Comet SWAN is getting brighter every day. It is currently in constellation of Aquarius. Currently it is reported as Mag 6 and NASA JPL is expecting around Mag 8. On the closest point it is 0.43 AU which is 64 million KM from the Sun, it is quite far and not coming to hit Earth. Lower the magnitude, brighter it is. You can see objects around Mag 10 or lower with a binocular. Generally, around Mag 3 are lower, it is visible without a telescope. We are expecting this Comet might reach Mag 3 in the last two weeks of May. Very bright stars in the sky are with Mag 2 or lower. Comet Atlas was supposed to go to -3.5 which would have been bright to see without a need a of a telescope. How can locate Comet SWAN? This comet is mainly visible in southern hemisphere in the morning time before the sunrise on the East side or just before sunset on West side. Look for this comet in the last two weeks for May. As you all are aware Comet Atlas will reach the closest point to the Earth Sat May 23 2020 at 0.77 AU. Not only that it is also closest at this point with Comet SWAN. Currently it is very close to horizon in the Northern Hemisphere in the morning times between 4:30 AM and 5:30 AM CST Here is my telescope equipment I used to take this picture - Celestron RASA 11" - https://tinyurl.com/y782p748 Celestron CGX Mount - https://tinyurl.com/ybdqyecg Celestron EdgeHD 1400 XLT Optical Tube Assembly without mount & tripod https://bit.ly/3bjbG9S You can connect with me here: https://www.instagram.com/raysastrophotography/ https://www.facebook.com/raysastrophotography/ http://www.raysastrophotography.com/ https://twitter.com/Raysastrophoto1 #Comet #ATLAS #SWAN

In this video, I use the Celestron EdgeHD 11 telescope (1960mm focal length) to photograph the Great Globular Cluster in Hercules (M13). I've still got some kinks to work out, but it was nice to finally get the StarSense AutoAlign working - and GET A PICTURE WITH THIS THING!

This comet is mainly visible in southern hemisphere in the morning time before the sunrise on the East side or just before sunset on West side. Look for this comet in the last two weeks for May. Comet PANSTAARS orbital period is 500,000 years. It is incredible! It is brighter with a Mag of 8.5. You need at least a 60-90 MM telescope to see this comet or take pictures with it. I tried to take a picture of it and it looks decently bright. Comet ATLAS is now broken into more than two dozen pieces. Earlier reports say they were only 5. So it is crumbling into pieces as it approaches the inner solar system. These kind of astronomical events of comets breaking into pieces in front of our eyes are relatively rare. May be you can see these events one or two for each decade. Most of these comets are Ice and Gas and they come close to the inner solar system and closer to the sun, they may breakup. Comets are either originated from the Oort Cloud beyond Neptune which is outer solar system or from the Kuiper belt which is half way between us and the nearest star. What makes it exciting is we are seeing the material from the time of the beginning of the solar system. Number of comets that we are discovering potentially increasing year by year. We only knew 6700 Comets. There are lot more comets than that. That makes it quite interesting. So before SWAN approaches, I recommend you to watch Venus in the evening sky and Mars, Saturn and Jupiter in the morning Sky.

I received the filters today for the mono camera and lets have some fun!!!!

In this episode we tried to image the moon and venus...as cameras didn't work and internet was spotty it was more of a collaboration of everyone on zoom...Come out and lets have some fun!!!

Tonight We will be getting wide field views for the Early Lyrids Meteor Shower

Comet Atlas is discovered 28th December, 2019 by ATLAS Survey Telescope. ATLAS stands for Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System which is a robotic astronomical survey and early warning system optimized for Near Earth Objects (NEOs) a few weeks to days before they impact Earth. Recently in the beginning of April, 2020 this Comet is going through disintegration as observed by many astronomers. C/2020 F8 (SWAN), or Comet SWAN, is a comet that was discovered in by SOHO Solar Heliospheric Observer (SOHO) spacecraft with the SWAN camera on March 25, 2020. It is approximately 1.2 AU from Earth in the. It is expected to visible in southern hemisphere, but there is a possibility to reach 4th magnitude in the morning sky next month but will be near the glare at the end of May when it is near the star Capella.
