Another one bites the (Moon)dust!
This is Intuitive Machines' #IM2 lander that once again toppled over after trying to land on Mons Mouton near the lunar south pole.
The picture had lots of detail hidden in the shadows which I brought out in processing.
2022 to 2025. From untracked color cameras to mono and equatorial mounts. Last image taken on an Astro Tech 80mm with a ASI533MM camera with RGB filters. Edited in PixInsight & photoshop.

Ahead of talks this autumn about #Rosetta, I've been reviewing some of my old presentations.
I found a lovely two-panel panorama of Comet 67P/C-G that Aster Cowart made back in 2016 & remembered I'd always wanted to remake it myself, to see if I could pull up some extra shadow detail.
Here's my take on that image from 5 October 2014 at 19km from the comet, starting from scratch with data from the PSA.

First try at M33.
Finally got a set of LRGB filters.
Blue - 3h
Green- 2h 51m
Red - 2h 9m
Lum - 2h
M20 & M8 SHO Mosaic.
First try at a mosaic with the new camera. 7 days in the making 13 hours 20 minutes integration time.
Elephant Trunk Nebula
Integration: 11h 55′
Ha 85×180″(4h 15′)
OIII 49×300″(4h 5′)
SII 43×300″(3h 35′)
Trying for another 4 hours each of OIII & SII
New camera! ZWO ASI533MM
NGC-7000
Ha 60×180″(3h)
OIII 63×300″(5h 15′)
SII 38×300″(3h 10′)
Not quite the composition I was shooting for. Some unfortunate cropping of the Oxygen image removed more than I would have liked.
M-20 from Las Vegas skies.
First week with PixInsight. Wish I had started using it sooner!
