While atmospheric turbulence was not very favorable for hi-res imaging, we captured comet C/2025 K1 ATLAS again, following up its fragmented nucleus. The image above comes from the sigma-clipping combination of 14, 60-second unfiltered...
After a few days in a row of bad weather, we had less than 10 minutes of clear sky to capture new images of comet C/2025 K1 ATLAS, clearly detecting three fragments of the...
Comet C/2025 K1 ATLAS experienced a dramatic fragmentation event, becoming one of the most interesting objects of its kind seen in recent years. The Virtual Telescope Project, which provided an excellent coverage of the...
Thanks to a very short window of clear sky, we imaged comet C/2025 K1 ATLAS again and here we share our view on its broken nucleus. The image above comes from the sigma-clipping combination...
Thanks to the good weather, we managed to image comet C/2025 K1 ATLAS again, finding a dramatic situation in the inner coma, after the recent outburst and fragmentation, with several pieces/clouds visible. We also...
We imaged comet C/2025 K1 ATLAS again, after its nucleus fragmentation, spotting two main “parts”, while the sunward feature we reported yesterday is now stronger, looking like another piece/cloud. The image above comes from...
We imaged comet C/2025 K1 ATLAS, detecting its “double” nucleus, after its fragmentation. The image above comes from the sigma-clipping combination of nine, 120-second unfiltered exposures, remotely taken with the Celestron C14+Paramount ME+SBIG ST-10XME...
Exploiting the unusual good weather of this season, we imaged the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS (C/2025 N1 ATLAS) again, recording a much more developed ion tail. The image above comes from the sigma-clipping combination of...
While observing conditions improve, we spotted again the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS (C/2025 N1 ATLAS), detecting the complex signature of its ion tail. The image above comes from the sigma-clipping combination of 14, 120-second exposures,...
We observed again the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS, after its recent conjunction with the Sun. Its coma is clearly visible, despite the extreme observing conditions. The image above comes from the average of six, 60-second...
Un breve profilo della cometa interstellare 3I/ATLAS (C/2025 N1 ATLAS), ora che si appresta a farsi osservare nuovamente dalla Terra. Il 1 luglio, nel corso del proprio programma di ricerca di asteroidi capaci di...
Now that this important object is going to show again in our sky, after its recent conjunction with the Sun, we will offer to the community the unique opportunity to see the interstellar comet...
On 27 Sept., 2024, a new comet having temporary designation A11bP7I (now officially designated as C/2024 S1 ATLAS), was discovered by the ATLAS survey from Hawaii and almost immediately it revealed to likely be...
We continue our long term follow-up program on comet C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan-ATLAS, while slowly approaching the Sun (perihelion on 27 Sept. 2024). The image above comes from the sigma-clipping combination of six, 300-second exposures,...
