Il Virtual Telescope Project scopre un’esplosione stellare nella Galassia di Andromeda. Individuata una probabile “nova” nella galassia sorella maggiore della Via Lattea, risultato delle attività di ricerca condotte dal progetto a Manciano (GR), sotto...
We report the discovery of a probable nova in Messier 31, found during our survey work on this galaxy. Updates 3 Oct.: 3.7776 Oct. 2023, R= 17.4 2 Oct.: 2.7636 Oct. 2023, R= 17.8...
In occasione delle “100 Ore di Astronomia” dell’International Astronomical Union, il Virtual Telescope Project propone in diretta streaming l’osservazione delle meraviglie del cielo di Manciano (GR), il più stellato della penisola, l’ultimo rimasto, oggi...
We succeeded imaging the Nasa’s OSIRIS-REx spacecraft during its flyby with the Earth, going to release its capsule with samples of asteroid Bennu. See our image and time-lapse below. The image above comes from...
We report the discovery of two new variables star in the field of Messier 33, part of a dedicated survey we recently started. The image above comes from the combination of 28, 120-second unfiltered...
We managed to capture a superb image of the celebrated Messier 17 nebula, aka “Omega” and “Swan” because of its shape. Enjoy the view below. The image above comes from the combination of 31,...

Nasa’s Osiris-Rex is on its way back, ready to deliver sample from asteroid Bennu to Earth. We will try to show in real-time the spacecraft 12 hours before releasing the precious Sample Return Capsule...
We imaged the nice comet C/2023 P1 Nishimura, right now showing a stunning tail. Despite it was very low in a bright sky due to the Moon, we captured a great image. The image...
We report the discovery of the long term, large variability of the optical counterpart of the NVSS J004354+404634 radio source, probably an active galactic nucleus (AGN: likely a blazar) in the field of Messier 31,...
We observed comet 12P/Pons-Brooks under very good sky conditions, going quite deep and recording a faint structure in the coma. here we present our image. The image above comes from the median combination of...
Next 31 Aug., the Supermoon will be back for the third time this year, but with two amazing bonuses: it will be the largest full Moon of 2023 and will be a so-called “Blue...
We observed comet 12P/Pons-Brooks again, to track its evolution after its 20 July bright outburst. For sure, it is a very intriguing target. The image above comes from the average of 13, 180-second unfiltered...
We imaged comet C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan-ATLAS again, while slowly approaching its conjunction with the Sun. Hopefully it will become a bright object late next year. The image above comes from the average of seven,...
We continue monitoring comet 12P/Pons-Brooks and its evolution. Here it is a new image and an updated time-lapse, showing the expansion of the coma after the 20 July bright outburst. The image above comes...
Thanks to a good seeing, we could capture a nice set of images of comet 12P/Pons-Brooks, 7 days after its bright outburst. Here we share some interesting processing. The images above come from the...
