Yes, David Bowie was right, it is now confirmed ;)

Close up of red giant star #V341 Carinae. Amazing structure around this variable star. For the full image of nearby #NGC2516, with spectacular nebulosity around it: flickr.com/photos/dodi-...

What can be done with a cheap mini smart #telescope like the #Dwarf Mini from #Dwarflab.
This is M35 and NGC2158 in Gemini. One hour exposure from #Bortle 7 light pollution. Processed in #AstroPixelProcessor and PS.

#Planet #Jupiter with moon #Europa on January 2. Images taken with #Celestron C9.25 EdgeHD, #Televue 2.5x barlow and #PlayerOne Uranus C camera. Seeing was fair. Right after the last image, we got snow... just in time to close the observatory roof.

If you live in #Belgium, and you want to know what will happen in the sky for 2026, you want to get the mighty Hemelkalender (Sky Calendar) from the Vereniging Voor Sterrenkunde VZW (note: in Dutch). Presented here by #StijnMeuris from #Noordkaap for us!

#supermoon of December (the 'Cold Moon'), imaged tonight in the focus of the #Celestron C9.25 EdgeHD (f=2350mm), single image with #Nikon #Z8. This image will serve as color for a high resolution mono I captured too. Processing it tomorrow.

#Saturn moons tonight, all aligned to the right side of the planet. Double exposure, once for Saturn, once for the moons. Stacked in PS. Iapetus missing because of too short a break in the clouds to get a second frame. Mimas in glare of Saturn

#saturn tonight, with rings tilt less than 0.5 deg. We will have to wait till 2038 to see them fully edge on. But the coming 2 weeks you still have the chance to see them like this. Imaged with my #Celestron C9.25 EdgeHD telescope.

Probably my last image of #comet C/2025 A6 #Lemmon. Weather has not been good the last month, I missed the best of this comet. This one taken with the comet passing behind tree branches :). With #Celestron C9.25 EdgeHD, #Nikon #Zf, 60 x 15s. #astronomy #astrophotography #space #comets

Finally! After a month of clouds, a short break in the cloud cover for #comet C/2025 A6 #Lemmon. I could make 6 x 15s exposure with Nikon Z6 and 85mm 1.8. Comet easy visible with naked eye, and over 10 degrees tail in binoculars. Then again... clouds.

#Messier 46 and Messier 47. A tiny ring is visible in M46, #PlanetaryNebula #NGC2438. A weaker planetary nebula sits to the right of M46: PN M1-18.
