M98 M99

A couple of beautifull galaxies on below picture :
M 98 part of the Virgo Cluster at 44million ly
M 99 part of the Virgo Cluster at 48million ly
NGC4298 NGC4302 NGC4192

It's not my most beautifull picture but it shows the power of my TLAPO80/480 f/6 with Nikon D7500. Settings are ISO1000 for 150s. Stacking with DeepSkystakker and editing using CS4.

North Virgo Cluster with M86, M87 & M89



Picture of galaxies M86, M87 and M89. Picture taken with Nikon D7500 on TLAPO80/480 f/6 and exposure of 7minutes. Stacking with DeepSkystakker and final editing using CS4.
Early april, the first ever picture taken of a black hole was taken of the black hole at the center of M87. M87 is located at a distance of 55million ly from earth. It is a very massive galaxy and believed to have a mass of 2700 billion times the mass of our Sun (our galaxy, milky way is estimated to have a mass of 1000 billion solar masses). For fun, I added the picture of the black hole which is estimated to have a mass of 3 to 6 billion solar masses.

Jupiter


During the dark moment of last night I was able to make some pictures of Jupiter. Picture was taken using ASI224MC on TAL200K. I tried out my new ADC and to get back into focus I added a barlow x2. It was difficult to get the picture sharpened as each time I adjusted the ADC, Jupiter moved out of sight. SharpCap was used as capture software and pictures stacked by AutoStakkert!2. Final editing done with CS4.
