    Geysers of Triton

    The black streaks you see are Triton's geysers, rising to ~10km, and drifting over 100km downwind. Photo from Voyager 2, 1989.

    Tonight’s Moon x Venus Conjunction Through my Camera

    Did you see the Moon with a bright star tonight towards the west? That’s a planet; Venus! It’s reaching its brightest point (visible during daylight without equipment) in the coming weeks.

    The first and last images are NOT scale composites, they’re actual un-composited images of these two celestial wonders.

    Slides 2, 3, and 4 are to scale composites, meaning that’s actually how big Venus looks in the sky compared to the Moon!

    Evoguide 50ED, ZWO ASI294MC, 10s exposure stacked (yeah I know, very unconventional but it turned out good with a ton of processing XD).

    Processed on Lightroom and PS Express.

    Saturn in infrared..

    However, this stunning image of Saturn isn’t what the human eye would see—it’s a false-color composite that highlights variations in the planet’s atmosphere and ring composition. By using different wavelengths of light, scientists can uncover hidden details about Saturn’s structure and weather patterns, offering a mesmerizing and scientifically valuable perspective on the gas giant.

    Took this picture with my phone, can't help but wonder what possible civilizations might exist out there. Or does life only exist here on earth.

    After 28 years of living I finally saw and captured this with my phone and telescope. Unreal to think that 1300 Earth's can fit inside. And there it is, just floating 400 million miles away.

    70km above Titan, during the Huygens probe's descent.

    Huygens landed successfully on Saturn's moon Titan in 2005. It is the farthest landing from Earth a spacecraft has ever made.

    Winter Milky Way & Planetary Alignment 🪐✨

    HaRGB | Tracked | Stacked | Panorama | Composite

    more on Instagram 🔭: https://www.instagram.com/vhastrophotography?igsh=YzNpcm1wdXd5NmRo&utm_source=qr

    This is by far one of my best images since I started my astrophotography hobby. It also demanded a lot from me, as capturing panoramas at minus 8 degrees Celsius with strong winds was quite challenging.

    The image showcases the winter Milky Way arc during the current planetary alignment. Visible in the photo are Mars, Jupiter, and Uranus. Additionally, you can admire intensely red-glowing regions filled with hydrogen alpha, such as Orion’s Belt and the California Nebula.

    Above my silhouette, the Andromeda Galaxy shines brightly, slightly veiled by some red airglow.
