On 6 Nov. 2015, at Virtual Telescope we imaged comet 44P/Reinmuth, a Jupiter-family comet that is greatly perturbed by Jupiter. The image above comes from the average of ten, 180-seconds exposures, unfiltered, remotely collected with the PlaneWave...
On 6 Nov. 2015, at Virtual Telescope we imaged comet 81P/Wild: this object was visited in 2004 by the Nasa’s Stardust space mission. The image above comes from the average of five, 180-seconds exposures, unfiltered, remotely...
At Virtual Telescope we imaged comet C/2014 A4 Sonear again, after our first attempt a few days ago. The image above comes from the average of eight, 180-seconds exposures, unfiltered, remotely collected with the PlaneWave 17″+Paramount ME+SBIG...
On 6 Nov. 2015, at Virtual Telescope we imaged comet 61P/Shajn–Schaldach, a less known comet discovered in 1949 and recovered in 1971. The image above comes from the average of six, 180-seconds exposures, unfiltered, remotely collected...
Comet C/2015 V2 Johnson was discovered on 3.5 Nov. 2015 and announced on 5 Nov. The following night, at Virtual Telescope we managed to capture it. The image above comes from the average of...
*** More Images of Comet 67P here! *** On 09 Nov. 2015, early in the morning, we wanted to observe Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko again, a couple of months after our previous visit, under good sky conditions. Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko...

At Virtual Telescope we imaged comet C/2014 A4 Sonear. This comet reached the perihelion last September. The image above comes from the average of 6, 180-seconds exposures, unfiltered, remotely collected with the PlaneWave 17″+Paramount ME+SBIG STL-6303E robotic...
We recently imaged comet C/2013 X1 PanSTARRS, having its perihelion next April 2016. This comet was recently reported to have increased its brightness. The image above comes from the average of 15, 120-seconds exposures, unfiltered, remotely...
At Virtual Telescope, we did a great work tracking the “Halloween”, potentially hazardous asteroid 2015 TB145 while approaching us late last Oct. We obtained an early image and planned a live, online event, which...
