We imaged comet C/2017 K2 Panstarrs again, while it is slowly approaching its minimum distance from the Sun. The image above comes from the average of 14, 120-second exposures, unfiltered, remotely collected with the “Elena”...
Last night we captured comet C/2017 K2 Panstarrs again, while it is approaching its minimum distance from the Earth. The image above comes from the average of 15, 120-second exposures, unfiltered, remotely collected with...
Next 14 July, comet C/2017 K2 Panstarrs will reach its minimum distance from the Earth. We will show it live: join us from the comfort of your home. Next 14 July, comet C/2017 K2...
One year after our last image, last night we captured comet C/2017 K2 Panstarrs again. Now this icy world is bright and ready for its minimum distance from the Earth, next month. The image...
After several months, we spotted comet C/2017 K2 Panstarrs again, of course finding it much brighter. Here it is our image of this very interesting object. The image above comes from the average of...
We spotted comet C/2017 K2 Panstarrs, a very interesting icy world already active despite its huge distance from the Sun. Here it is our image. The image above comes from the average of twelve,...
We did some follow-up observations of the extraordinary object A/2017 U1, right now quickly traveling across the inner Solar System on an hyperbolic orbit, coming from the interstellar space. It was a very difficult...
Yesterday, we wrote about the discovery of an extremely interesting object, C/2017 U1, traveling in the inner Solar System along an hyperbolic orbit. The first announcement mentioned a cometary nature, potentially making it the...
After a couple of months, we observed comet C/2015 ER61 Panstarrs again. It is still showing a nice tail. The image above comes from the average of eight, 180-seconds exposures, unfiltered, remotely taken with...
Comet C/2015 ER61 Panstarrs was imaged again a few nights ago and it showed a beautiful ion tail. It is one of the most beautiful comets we see so far this year. The...
After its outburst announced a few days ago, we were able to image comet C/2015 ER61 Panstarrs, capturing its amazing tail, even if some clouds made life not easy. The image above comes from...
As part of the follow-up programs part of the Virtual Telescope Project, we imaged comet C/2014 S2 Panstarrs. The image above comes from the average of 28, 120-seconds exposures, unfiltered, remotely collected with the PlaneWave 17″+Paramount...
While comet P/2016 BA14 Panstarrs continues to increase its distance from the Earth, the observing conditions improved, as the Full Moon – a serious interfering factor at the flyby time – moved away, offering...

While it is leaving us after making history with its flyby, at Virtual Telescope we are continuously tracking comet P/2016 BA14 Panstarrs. Unfortunately, there is still a Full Moon and we had to fight against...
