2h exposure (Astronomik R: 220x30s)
Acquired on the 30th of May 2019
Setup: TS ONTC 200/800, 2″ Feathertouch, AZ-EQ6, QHY163m gain=100, OAG-M, QHYCFW2-M, AstroLink 4 mini. Software: APT, Stellarium scope, EQ MOD, PHD2, AstroImageJ
Many amateurs have already done this with success. And this night, it was my turn for trying to obtain my first “exoplanet transit”. Let’s see below how I proceeded… and what I need to improve…
4h40 exposure (L:56x300s)
Acquired on the 28th of February 2019 with Samyang 135mm
Setup: Samyang 135mm F/2, AZ-EQ6, QHY163m gain=100, QHYCFW2-M, AstroLink 4 mini, QHY5L2M. Software: APT, Stellarium scope, EQ MOD, PHD2
This image is the result of 56 images stacked using the “Maximum” stacking mode of Deepskystacker. It contains many traces of solar system objets. Let’s see in this post the main characteristics of those objects using Aladin desktop, SkyBoT and JPL Small-Body Database Browser.

Several asteroids in the field of Markarian chain. Samyang 135mm F/2 at F/2.8, QHY163m gain=100
This article depicts a method to identify asteroids on personal photos. This method uses Aladin Desktop software from Strasbourg astronomical Data Center and SkyBot (Sky Body Tracker) from IMCCE (Institut de Mecanique celeste et de calcul des ephemerides) / Paris Observatory. The last part of this article explains how to obtain the orbit as well as the mass of the asteroid using JPL Small-Body Database Browser of NASA.

In previous post was described a method to identify Quasars using Aladin Destop software.
The method is now applied on this wide field image (central part of Virgo galaxy cluster) which has been annotated accordingly in orange.

QSO1224+1349 et QSO1222.9+1334 – 2 Quasars located in the north of Markarian chain. Samyang 135mm F/2 at F/2.8, QHY163m gain=100
This article suggests a method to identify Quasars objects on personal photos. This method, very simple, uses Aladin Desktop software from Strasbourg astronomical Data Center.
