ShahGazer Rambling about Astrophotography, Coding and Clouds

This is a 4.5 minutes shot of Supernova 2012aw using iTelescope.net T5 telescope in New Mexico. The  glow from the upper right came from Mars! But just imagine that tiny dot of supernova 2012aw is like gazillion times brighter than Mars, and way-way back originating about 38 Million Light-Years ago!

(Click for 100%) Here is the final image of the moon taken yesterday. A mosaic of 23 video files. Unfortunately some of the files did not aligned well, and created some unfortunate bump at the lower left limb. However, I am quiet happy with the initial results. I have a 5x barlow waiting to be used with the scope, but the weather wasn't steady for planetary last night. Stars twinkling like mad!
