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.
