The moon is believed to have formed as a result of a collision around 4.5 billion years ago between a young earth and Theia, a mars-sized body from the gradual cumulation of impact debris.
A team of researchers at Lund University, Sweden have discovered that the wave-like ripples experienced by the milky way have been caused by a dwarf galaxy now seen in the Sagittarius constellation.
On the Telescope Live site there are plenty of One Click Observations of the same subject, or of subjects with some overlap. If you dig in it is very possible to pick up some sets that have over 50 hours of data in them!
One of the cool things we can do at Telescope Live is to book Advanced Requests or make suggestions for new One Click Observations. Some would assume that you have to do a named object and leave it centered on that.
Time is ticking for the asteroid Didymos since in just 4 days’ time on the 26th of September NASAs Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) will make its impact as part of the first planetary defence experiment.
Want to be the best astrophotographer in our ever-growing community? Of course you do! 😉
Now it’s possible, with Telescope Live Picture of the Day (TLPOD).
Several of PixInsight’s processes use the concept of Wavelet Based Processing to analyze and process astro images. These types of PI processes include:
Multiscale Median Transform (MMT)
I imagine you have ran into a problem with uneven illumination or gradients in some of your images, and sometimes those simply will not calibrate all the way out with flats.
