astrophotography thread
if yours, it's fuccking nice
only got a lil refracting telescope, can't get pics
>>683329240
If you took that picture... Really amazing
Venus transit
Mercury transit on monday
And I've only got a spotting scope so looks like OP# will have to post the pics for us to fap over
Neptune from orbit of Triton
is dem allens man? , i new my g was right aya fiddy 1 reel man, fuuck space nd shiit so big i always new dems alens existed
>>683329240
fuck anon
I have only a skywatcher 70/900 and I took photos with my cellphone.
>>683330614
I can fap to this
Thank you for making this thread.

ayyy lmao
space dick
>>683330614
fake, but not too gay
An Neptunian orbiter would be nice to have. Cassini at Saturn has been fantastic.

Gentlemen, I really like this thread. Thank you. :)
Gravity strength distribution across the earth surface
>>683332041
It's still cool bro. Different pictures offer different perspectives of the object. Thanks for sharing

uughh misgendering shitlord! I'm an attack helicopter who likes astronomy
more saturn
>>683333628
My apologies. Are you a male attack helicopter? If you aren't show your rotors or gtfo. :P
>>683330979
Is that aurora on jupiter?
>>683333628
And awesome Europan photo. :)
>>683333627
cryovolcanoes that spew water-ice and actively build part of the rings
>>683333932
yup
>>683332041
It actually quite good !
Keep the good job anon !
Soviet lander with basically the only picture from the surface of Venus.
>>683333722
I have to admit, we could expect a death ray coming out of this, Starkiller base style.
>>683333932
Indeed !
Anything with an atmosphere and a magnetic field has aurora in the solar system.
>>683334318
a few of the surfaces we have to offer
a wall is currently being built around this
>>683334359
>tfw the viscosity at ground level on Venus is closer to the viscosity of water than air.

Make the Milky Way Great Again
Io, read up about the Io flux torus and the Io flux tube, also Decametric emissions you can pick up on earth.. that'll keep you busy for a few nightrs ;D
Also NASA Radio Jove. Inspried me to build a Dual dipole array in the attept to pick the DAM emissions up.. great fun.
>>683333471
This is fucking cool
>>683333722
The outer ring of the vortex looks like a perfect polygon
the scale of space boggles the mind
I am really enjoying this thread
>>683332041
Awesome!
>>683334720
Ayy Que Malo!
>>683335310
less tv engenders more imagination
>>683335211
it is indeed a perfect polygon
dont know what cause it tho
best moon pic i was able to make with crappy telescope and rpicam noir.
>>683335211
best theory i've heard is the storm is buffeted such that it resonates into the hexogonal shape.
If so, the storm is probably quite old
>>683335694
>>683335824
>>683335879
>>683335211
>perfect polygon
itt: retards acting like they understand science
>>683330439
fucking saved
>>683335681
And think of all the physical forces that have to remain in harmony for all that time to keep it that way
>>683334911
This must be the moon, being cheese and all
>>683336053
I was referring to the shape on the top right, fuck nigga.
i want a comet to pass that is bright enough to see during the day
>>683335492
don't all congratulate me at once
>>683335492
Man, this pic makes me emotional. To make a long story short, it reminds me of when me and my daughter used to look at the moon through our Powerseeker 70AZ.
Great pic bro.

>>683336053
Look again faggot
>>683336556
3 of those were mine
>>683336654
thanks bro, appreciate it, was pretty hard to find that damn thing, rotating the telescope, seeing only on the laggy stream on my laptop
If there was a planet with intelligent life out with that had planetary rings like Saturn, how would that affect the pioneering for space travel?
I always wondered this.
Europa
>>683330439
So i assume it would be easily visible to the eye from the moon right.
>>683336556
>>683334720
Damn space mexicans
>>683333289
Has anybody noticed pluto has a heart on it?
>even after you say it's not a planet, it still loves you.
any of you fags have any tips for getting a picture of mercury passing in front of the sun tomorrow ?
>>683333628
Europa fucked with Jupiter and got cut up.
>>683337639
look up the methods of using a piece of card in front of the binoculars/telescope to project an image of the sun
>>683337639
Yes, stare directly into the sun without protection for at least 10 minutes to focus your eyes on the planet, then snap the pic
![IMG-20160501-WA0001[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/7Srz9FA.jpg "IMG-20160501-WA0001[1].jpg")
i take this pic of jupiter from a cellphone
>>683337861
smartphone******
shieeeeeet
>>683337791
totaly this
>>683337790
but i want to take a picture, i just need some cheap available way to control attenuation, prob try different thicknesses of paper or something
>>683335310
This is how I feel about some constellations.
>THERE'S NOT EVEN A FUCKING STAR AT THAT CORNER!!!! Use your imagination NO!
>>683337664
that is a nice shot
looks like the moon
>>683337639
Look directly into your telescope first to eyeball where and when to frame your shot. It'll take your eyes a moment to adjust to the brightness (and it might hurt a little), but keep them open and you'll be able to see the disk.
Then you want to set up a series of filters -- try them in front of the telescope, eyeballing the sun through the telescope with each as you figure out which combination blocks the background sky and corona the best.
cont.
>>683335492
>>683336550
Considering the moon is about 30 Earths away this is fucking impressive.
My best on mars

>>683337220
>>683337320
Wow! Thats nice!
I remember thte first time I saw the ISS. I downloaded an app on the phone called ISS Tracker, or something like that.
>>683338351
i removed the eyepiece to be able to fit a 3d printed interface to an rpi cam noir .. so only way to aim is through laggy stream on laptop :(
>>683338482
thank you anon
>>683338889
fuck my quads
>>683338771
long exposure of ISS passing overhead
anyone knows a good telescope to observe planets?
>>683339050
Check out a Dobsonian telescope.. the 8inchers are not too expensive.
>>683338736
We got about 47 more to go brotato chip
>>683339166
ahh my bad, I was looking at the replies not images.
one of mine.

i er ... does /b/ now know my longitude ?
Saturn and moon
>>683339485
>enceladus.gif
>>683338521
What kind of scope do you have?
Took this a few weeks ago while working at Kitt Peak
>>683339964
sweet :)
>>683339919
skywatcher 250/1200 with EQ-6 Pro and SynScan
>>683339964
looks promising anon
Orion Nebula with my old equipment. Got a new mount now, but Orion season is over where I live.
>>683339381
so is it possible to determine my longitude from these pics ?
not that i care, just curious ..
>>683340487
what camera you used to capture it?
>>683336176
underrated
>tfw we wont live to see humans settling down on other planets
>tfw we will never know what universe is all about.
We're such insignificant creatures.
>>683341244
give it a few more years bro
lots of programs have 2025 and 2030 on their agendas. some with manned mars missions
>>683340626
A canon rebel xs on the end of a Meade 102 infinity refactor telescope. Here's some Jupiter with the same setup.
>>683341244
That's bullshit.
Someone may solve the grand unified equation tomorrow. It would be all downhill from there m8
>>683330890
they bolted stuff into his face?
>>683341445
very nice anon
>>683341244
you're a virus, a pest
i hate you primitive organic balls of goo
shooting dna at each other to make babies, i find it offensive
we will never accept your kind leaving the quarantine zone you call the solar system.
This will soon be a pony thread
Its inevitable
normies on muh /b/, doing sciency things, wtf?
>>683342056
>primitive organic balls of goo
low maintenance
self repairing
self replicating
(i hate the plumbing tho)
shit son, we is millions of years ahead of any other life tech
>>683332041
Still gud quality m8, keep improving those skills
>>683341865
Thanks. Here's some Saturn.
>>683337466
Yes actually, many people have noticed that
>>683333471
How do you read this?
>>683334571
Only two of these places have had mankind walk on them, we sure need to get out there more, why don't we live in space permanently yet?
nibiru is comming soon
and it is gonna smash into earth
and then your gonna fucking die
stupid mods
>>683334732
So you could drown in the air of venus as if you where at the bottom of the ocean?
>>683343885
well there's that whole temperature and pressure and toxicity thing first
>>683340551
Possible if you know you astronomy maths, could take a while if you don't though
>>683344100
it's obvious we need to ditch this organic shell and get us a kickass multi planet shell .. with lasers and xray vision
>>683344319
>683344319
well not just that, need to visually match features to some known reference too, which is what i can't find
Venus
>>683343298
Its probably standard deviation +-

Because we need to use our time and money to make sure shanequa has enough counseling available for when her cousin/boyfriend gets shot after robbing a store.
Also, useless expensive wars in desolate hellholes.

I'm having a boner just thinking about the orbiter we could send with the SLS and the technical difficulties of suck a long journey and hostile conditions.
>>683334911
>>683336176
That's Io, one of the moons of jupiter. 500km-high eruptions, nigga
>>683345838
I would rather fuck Ceres or Vesta, you know, plant some seed in that soil
>>683335492
>>683336550
also made a timelapse
>>683345956
Would have sex with Eris

That pretty noice
>>683333918
Your trivia for the day.
Pluto is the god of the underworld.
In order to get to the underworld, you had to cross over two rivers: Lethe and Styx. The river Lethe you could walk across and you would forget all about your life on earth. The river Styx was much deeper and required a ferry ride. First, that was why people were buried with coins on their eyes; so they could pay the ferryman. Second, the ferryman's name: Charon.
It's amazing the shit I remember from college.
Recent lunar eclipse, canon t1-i, 300mm lens

thanks, these were all taken in june 2014
trying to convert another one to webm
Here one i took a couple of months ago during a full moon, i edited it a little so the craters appeared darker
>>683347225
you high up north ? canada or something ..
cause i sure can't see the moon south pole from where i am

here's another one
>>683348047
that sucker moves fast, hard to keep track of through a laggy video stream and manually moving the telescope
i got frustrated with it back then (2014), might try again this year, there's a better version of mjpep-streamer now, so might be more doable now
October, 2014 partial eclipse over Lake Erie

Dis nigga
OC time. Not too clear but I got a pretty cool picture of Jupiter and its moons from a telescope. I also have a better shot of the moon near full from the same telescope if any are interested
Fuck it I'll post anyway
>>683350144
>>683350053
nice
my crappy optics won't allow me to get the whole moon into focus
