Here we present new images of comet 13P/Olbers, while leaving the inner Solar System, after its perihelion. The image above comes from the sigma clipping combination of 7, 120-second unfiltered exposures, remotely taken with...
Here it is a new image comet 13P/Olbers, showing the first part of its ion tail. The image above comes from the sigma clipping combination of 10, 120-second unfiltered exposures, remotely taken with the...
We imaged again comet 13P/Olbers, while it recedes from its recent perihelion. The image above comes from the sigma clipping combination of 11, 120-second unfiltered exposures, remotely taken with the “Elena” (PlaneWave 17″ +...

Potentially Hazardous Asteroid 2024 KH3 will have a relatively close, but obviously safe encounter with the Earth on 10 Aug. 2024, coming as close as 5.6 million of km from us. We imaged it...
Potentially Hazardous Asteroid 2011 AM24 will have a relatively close, but obviously safe encounter with the Earth next 26 July 2024, coming as close as 6.4 million of km from us. We captured it...
We imaged again comet 13P/Olbers, now slowly leaving the inner Solar System. The image above comes from the sigma clipping combination of 20, 120-second unfiltered exposures, taken with the ARTEC250+Paramount ME+C3Pro61000EC robotic unit available...
Here it is comet 13P/Olbers, imaged two days after perihelion The image above comes from the sigma clipping combination of 12, 120-second unfiltered exposures, taken with the ARTEC250+Paramount ME+C3Pro61000EC robotic unit available as part...
Lo scorso 20 maggio 2024 è stata resa nota, da parte dell’International Astronomical Union, la dedica dell’asteroide alla cantante Annalisa: d’ora in poi, dunque, il pianetino porterà formalmente la designazione (20014) Annalisa. Noi lo...
asteroid / conjunction / nova
Despite the crazy weather, we succeeded capturing the peak of the conjunction involving the Blaze Star (T Coronae Borealis) and asteroid (2) Pallas, here it is our image and a time-lapse. The image above...
