Ah oui en plus si c'est pour des élèves au sud va falloir trouver des filtres qui couvrent des catalogues du sud (SDSS pour Pan- STARRS c'est plutôt hémisphère Nord principalement - enfin c'est ce que j'ai retenu de mes cours au DUAO). Super projet en tous cas!

Lol the Nobels can't even acknowledge women's contribution to discovery. But sure let's acknowledge The Machines.

Headline from an article in Nature this week that states "Prizes must recognize machine contributions to discovery. The future of science will be written by humans and machines together. Awards should reflect that reality."

Very nice shot Bernd! I like this little lizard bathing in the surrounding H-alpha from SH2-126 😍

LBN 437 The Gecko Nebula captured from my dark site in southern France last month 🇫🇷 😊🔭

It was shot on the EdgeHD 8 with Hyperstar for a total integration time of 8 hours in OSC and Mono. The red nebulosity was enhanced with Ha data.

@kat-astro-bot.bsky.social‬ what do you see?

The Gecko Nebula LBN 437 is a dark nebula embedded in the red emission nebula SH2-126. It lies at a distance of about 1.200 light years from Earth in the constellation of Lacerta. Its shape resembles a Gecko hence the name 🦎

On October 14, 2025, an exceptional event will be observable by astronomers in Western Europe: #Ganymede, Jupiter's third moon, will #occult a magnitude 7.5 star (HIP 37442), causing a slight decrease in brightness of 0.1 magnitude for 17 minutes.

The Tadpoles in Auriga shot in narrow band SHO (Sulfur, Hydrogen, Oxygen) from my backyard during last night's #Astrophotography 🔭📷 session. Slightly psychedelic colors but I like those 🫠. The stars are RGB though. Am I spot on @kat-astro-bot.bsky.social ?

Sympa comme tout! On dirait une image Mono sur le rendu des couleurs en plus, vraiment chouette (mais je suis pas objectif sur ce point 😊)

There are things that are etched into you as if they were by fire branding....the Berlin Wall collapse, 9/11.....and this....I still remember what I felt when I first heard about that discovery, where I learnt about it, and how (in some science mag bought in a train station). 😍

This week (!) is the 30th anniversary of the announcement of 51 Pegasi b, the first exoplanet found orbiting a star like our Sun - since then, we've found over 6,000!

To celebrate, @alexwitze.bsky.social and @nature.com collected some astronomers' favourite planets:

These alien planets are astronomers’ favourites: here’s why

Space scientists look back on 30 years of exoplanet discoveries — from rows of massive ‘super-Earths‘ to worlds with perfectly synchronized orbits.

Voici NGC 4725, une belle galaxie spirale dans la Chevelure de Bérénice ! C'est pas la saison ? Haha oui, ce sont mes photos d'avril que je viens de traiter 😅
N'est-elle pas tout mignonne ?

So, how did it go?

Lt Nono @ltno2.bsky.social · 8d

Merci Julien! Alors pour la focale l'image est coupée pour me débarrasser de Navi donc en réalité le champ serait plus grand. Je réessaierai un de ces 4 avec ma petite lunette pour avoir plus de nébuleuse autour de Navi (en espérant ce coup-ci qu'elle soit moins pénible la princesse 😅) .
