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...
*** More Images of Comet 67P here! *** On 12 Sept. 2015, early in the morning, we wanted to observe Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko again, after a couple of weeks after our previous visit, under good sky conditions....
*** More Images of Comet 67P here! *** On 26 Aug. 2015, at the end of the night, we imaged Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko again, under good sky conditions. Because of the imminent full Moon, it...
For the third time, we imaged comet Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko again, under good sky conditions. Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko is the target of the ESA Rosetta space mission, which released there its module Philae. This image above comes...
After our first, post-perihelion image from ground, we imaged comet Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko again, under very good sky condition. It is worth to remember that this comet is the target of the ESA Rosetta space mission....
For sure, comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko is one of the most important astronomical objects out there. It is the target of the ESA Rosetta space mission, which delivered the Philae lander to the cometary nucleus, something...
This time, against hour habit with this object, we did not wait for several weeks before looking again at comet C/2013 A1 Siding Spring. We always remind you that this comet made history last...
After a few weeks, we want to look at comet C/2013 A1 Siding Spring again. We all remember when this comet made, last October, something amazing, as it approached planet Mars within a very short, record distance,...
A lot of time has gone since we saw comet C/2014 Q2 Lovejoy last time. After more than two months, we decided to look at this comet again, remembering the unforgettable show we all enjoyed...
After one month from our last observation, we want to look at comet C/2013 A1 Siding Spring again. This comet made history last October, when it approached planet Mars within a very short, record distance,...
After a couple of weeks, we decided to image comet C/2015 F3 Swan again, finding it very faint, though visible as a pale ghost of light The image above comes from the average of ten,...
We all know Rosetta, the ESA spacecraft which last November 2014 made possible for a lander, for the first time ever, to touch down a cometary nucleus, as part of a long term study...
Despite the severe, unfavorable conditions (cirri all around and extremely bright full Moon), we decided to image comet C/2015 F3 Swan again The image above comes from the average of twelve, 120-seconds exposures, unfiltered, remotely collected with...
