Loránd can’t wait for the eclipse to begin! He’ll be using a full LighTrack setup. ☺️ Where will you be watching it from?

I want to swing from the Chandelier Cluster

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope captured an image of globular cluster NGC 6723, or Chandelier Cluster, sparkling bright with tens of thousands of stars. Each star looks like a light dangling from a chandelier, hence the nickname. Globular clusters like this one contain some of the oldest stars in our galaxy.

Some gorgeous images by Ahmed Waddah, captured using the Fornax LighTrack II for precise tracking.

It's always a pleasure to see what talented astrophotographers create with the LighTrack II.

Which one is your favorite? ✨

Southern Moonscape (APOD: 2024 Aug 30)

Explanation: The Moon's south pole is toward the top left of this detailed telescopic moonscape. Captured on August 23, it looks across the rugged southern lunar highlands. The view's foreshortened perspective heightens the impression of a dense field of craters and makes the craters themselves appear more oval shaped close to the lunar limb. Prominent near center is 114 kilometer diameter crater Moretus. Moretus is young for a large lunar crater and features terraced inner walls and a 2.1 kilometer high, central peak, similar in appearance to the more northerly young crater Tycho. Mountains visible along the lunar limb at the top can rise about 6 kilometers or so above the surrounding terrain. Close to the lunar south pole, permanently shadowed crater floors with expected reservoirs of water-ice have made the rugged south polar region of the Moon a popular target for exploration.

ASTROCAMERA 2024 DÍJAZÁS

Az Astrocamera nemzetközi fotópályázaton idén (is) nagyon szépen szerepeltünk magyarok. Balási Álmos, Majzik Lionel, Tóth Bence is eredményes volt, illetve én is. Ez az esemény a két nagyból az egyik (a másik az Astronomy Photographer of the Year - de az szeptemberben van, Angliában). A fotó eredeti méretben megtekinthető az oldalam Naprendszer részén: https://fenyeslorand.hu/naprendszerunk/ (kicsit legörgetve).
