We imaged asteroid (4) Vesta at opposition: it is the brightest minor planet, barely visible to the naked eye under dark skies. The image above comes from a single 30-second exposure, remotely taken with...
Messier 104, also known as NGC 4594 and nicknamed “Sombrero” because of its shape, shows its intrigate texture of dust and stars in our image below. The image above comes from the sigma-clipping combination...
We imaged supernova SN 2023ixf in the stunning Messier 101 spiral galaxy, as part of our follow-up of this transient, 23 months after its explosion. The image above comes from the average of 11,...
We captured an outstanding corner of the deep sky, showing a few galaxies of speechless beauty: NGC 4156 with its supernova SN 2025bvm, NGC 4151 and NGC 4145. The image above comes from the...
We imaged the legendary NGC 6543 planetary nebula, nicknamed “Cat’s Eye” because of its shape, sharing the same spot with a nice galaxy, NGC 6552. Here it is such a wonderful picture. The image...
We detected the optical afterglow of GRB 250430A, about 4.75 hours after the burst. On 30 April 2025 at 17:21:31 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and located GRB 250430A (trigger=1308754). This...
We spotted again the Potentially Hazardous Asteroid (612356) 2002 JX8, tracking it while it slowly approaches our planet: on 9 May 2025, it will safely come as close as 4.2 millions of km from...
We captured a truly extreme image of comet C/2025 F2 SWAN, after its disintegration and with just a few dust still visible. Here we present our picture. The image above comes from the average...
We continue tracking Potentially Hazardous Asteroid (612356) 2002 JX8 on its way to the safe flyby with our planet on 9 May 2025, when it will come as close as 4.2 millions of km...
We imaged the marvelous spiral galaxy Messier 66 with our flagship telescope, here we are pleased to share our picture. The image above comes from the average of 13, 300-second exposures, unguided, remotely taken...
On 2 May 2025, the Potentially Hazardous Asteroid 2016 GB1 will have a relatively close, obviously safe encounter with the Earth, coming as close as 9.5 millions of km from us, 25 times the...
We spotted the Potentially Hazardous Asteroid (462959) 2011 DU when it was safely approaching us and now we present here our last image. The image above comes from a single 120-second exposure, remotely taken...
We spotted the near-Earth Asteroid 2025 HU2 soon after its safe close encounter with the Earth, on 25 Apr. 2025. It came as close as 410.000 km from the center of the Earth, a...
We imaged comet C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan-ATLAS again, four months after our previous observation: please find our picture here. The image above comes from the sigma clipping combination of 6, 120-second exposures, remotely taken with...
