A decade ago I wanted to find a way to recognize the wonderful images that researchers created -- in the lab and in the field. With some likeminded folks, we got it off the ground. It's worked out beautifully, and I'm proud of it.

Had a go processing some of my older narrowband data in Pixinsight of Melotte 15 in the Heart Nebula. I feel this is a better result this time, more finer structure and better stars. This was 18 hours data with Ha, SII and OIII using Atik 383L+ and 190MN #astrophotography

Stars and satellites glowing in long exposure streaks of light as ISS orbits Earth.
'Satellite Swarm Zoom'
A star trail image made with a time-lapse image sequence photographed by Jonny Kim from ISS. Each image was restored, remastered then retimed using frame interpolation for a short film. These new frames allowed for a simulated long exposure photograph.

A picture of Mars taken during astronomical twilight (the sun was 13° below the horizon). It shows a dimly lit reddish landscape with some hills at the horizon. Deimos, Mars' smaller moon shines with a small halo in the pale sky above.
This photo from the Perseverance rover captured in early March, may be my favorite Mars image from this year.
It shows Mars' smaller moon Deimos over the hills of the Nili Planum region in the dark skies before dawn. 🔭

This mosaic of two wide angle photos from the Perseverance rover shows the Martian surface stretching into the distance beyond two foreground hills. The rover tracks can just be seen winding into the distance. In this view clouds are unusually well defined as they float well above the tan dust that eternally colors the Martian skies. In the original photos the area near the Sun is 'burned out' by the limitations of the camera sensor. I have addressed this by manually painting over the overexposed areas to reconstruct something of the brightness contours as they probably would have appeared to a human observer. I have also 'warped' the lower corners to fill the rectangular format. Artist's prerogative :-)
A recent vista from Mars obtained by the Perseverance Rover on its 1635th Martian day, or 'Sol', Clouds far above the eternal dust pall are unusually well shown in this afternoon view. This is a mosaic of two wide angle color Navcam images.

A high resolution photo of Mars from orbit captured by ESA's Mars Express. The image shows the reddish, dusty surface with soft brown and rusty hues, fading into a thin atmosphere. At the bottom left, two prominent volcanic formations, Olympus Mons and Ascraeus Mons, appear as large, broad features on the surface, with their edges softly blending into the landscape. On the bottom right, a large, circular bluish cloud hovers just above the surface, with soft, uneven edges. At the top center, a yellowish dust storm swirls across the terrain, resembling tightly packed cotton balls in a rough oval shape. The curvature of the planet highlights the thin atmosphere, gradually fading into the vast darkness of space.
POV: Orbiting Mars. 2 volcanoes. 1 dust storm and the darkness of space around you.
