Hi everyone! I know I've posted about Starnet before, but I now have a faster and seemingly better way to remove stars from an image.

For those of you who live in a major urban neighborhood amongst Bortle 9+ skies like me, you know the issues with setting up and executing an observing session in your backyard.

After less than a year of investigating the lunar surface, the Chinese probe Chang-e 5 already contributed to an extraordinary find: it sampled the youngest lunar rocks ever.

For those of us that have come through decades of astrophotography processing, the latest software is something of a dream. Rendering time was often measured in hours.

I’ve spent the last few months working to get proficient using Sequence Generator Pro (SGP). For the most part, it’s been a fairly straightforward journey.

Today we are announcing the new contest for the One-Click Observations, Pro Datasets for the month of October 2021.

Today is podium day!

The BepiColombo mission delivers its first images of the least explored of the terrestrial planets of our Solar System: the small but no-less exciting Mercury.

Using a 3D visualisation tool, researchers have demonstrated that the “Perseus-Taurus Supershell” was caused by a supernova 10 million years ago, and that this event precipitated star-formation in nearby molecular clouds.

After I posted a column on image sensor amp glow, or just what’s called glow, there were a few questions around calibration frames.

Most astrophotographers are familiar with the FITS format of image files. Flexible Image Transport System (FITS) is the most commonly used image file in astronomy.

Focal length blends is not an uncommon technique in astrophotography but alot of beginners I have encountered question why we do it or how do you align images from different telescopes.
