Venus Occultation 2021-11-08 I was worried about the weather, but the weather was better than I expected and I could watch it from the beginning to the end. Compared to the moon in the blue sky where there is no contrast, was Venus brighter and seeing was better in the scene where the moon edge appeared hidden? I felt the perspective of the two celestial bodies. It was a mini-observation session while talking with Ms. Masiko, a star friend
Uranus 2021-10-10 (UT) There is almost no body feature, and it looks like only disk.
Neptune 2021-09-21 The apparent diameter is as small as 2.4 arcseconds, and you can observe the disk image and the satellite Triton.
Great Red Spot 1994-2020 (27 years) Digital camera / Lynnx, Terlis2, Toucam, ATik, BJ-41L, DMK21AU618AS, DFK21AU04, ASI174MM, ASI290MM) Telescope / 32,40,45 cm Newton reflection, C8,11,14) Images from 2005-2014 taken on Cebu Island
Those are an image summarizing the progress of the approach between Jupiter and Saturn (December 15-23, 9 days). It fixed and edited Jupiter so that you can see the daily movement. The daily movement, changes in the distance between Jupiter and Saturn, and the accompanying changes in the relative positions and angles of the satellites. It was a wonderful planetary phenomenon that the two planets approached each other, approached each other on 22.23th, and passed each other.
2020-12-21 Jupiter and Saturn are conjunction, around 0.1 °. Jupiter and Saturn could be separated even with the naked eye.
2020-12-17 Jupiter and Saturn are approaching each other, its about 0.5 °. There is a crescent moon in the lower left, and it is a beautiful sight with binoculars!
45cm Newtonian reflection. The brightness of Uranus is about magnitude 6. In the 45cm aperture, Uranus appears to be a beautiful light blue disk even at 400x magnification. It’s a pity that the internal pattern is not visible. The reason the color and IR images aren’t beautiful disc images is because the optical axes are not perfectly aligned!
Two planets, Jupiter and Saturn, will shine side by side on the eastern side of the Milky Way in the south, and the observing season is about to begin.
