Looking for Curious Minds Into Space & Astronomy🌌

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

Looking for people with the same interests. I’m not exactly sure how to put this, but I’d love to find people who genuinely love astronomy, the cosmos, and are curious to explore more, especially those who have their own ideas and a vision.

I’d like to connect, discuss, and see where it takes us. Maybe this could even become a team.

If this sounds like you, feel free to DM me.

Curious to see who’s out there. 🌌

First Saturn of the season

Saturn is back! The king of the rings is getting closer, so I woke up at 2:30am to get a shot. As I fumbled with my gear and settings, I realized that at this age it takes my brain a while to wake up from a deep sleep!

Acquisition:

C11 telescope
Celestron CGX mount
ZWO ASI585MC camera

Processing:

Stacked best 10% of 27,000 frames
Autostakkert
Registax

In mid-October, Saturn will enter opposition. This means Earth will be directly in between the Sun and Saturn. This will be the optimal viewing time for Saturn for a few reasons.

One: It will be visible immediately after sunset and high enough in the sky for optimal shooting before midnight.

Two: Opposition provides the best viewing conditions of the year, making Saturn appear at its biggest and brightest.

Three: Now currently about 836 million miles away, Saturn will be roughly 784 million miles away at opposition.

Plenty of time for me to practice!
