My Best Astroimages of 2023
Join me as I take a look back at the most exciting moments of my astroimaging journey in 2023, including a bright comet,
my first images of solar prominences, the Northern Lights from my own backyard, a bright supernova in M101, stunning images of deep sky objects, 6 planets and our own Moon and last but not least a partial solar eclipse in between clouds.
Get ready for another orbit around the Sun and, as always, remember to keep looking up at the stars!
I imaged the elusive ice giant planets: Uranus and Neptune

I captured a breathtaking image of Jupiter through my telescope
I spent a night doing planetary imaging despite the weather didn’t seem too good with high and thin clouds everywhere.
Well, it turned out to be my best capture of Jupiter in 2023 and probably one of my best images of Jupiter to date!
Here comes the Sun (in H-alpha)
I imaged the Sun in H-alpha using a Coronado PST and a ZWO ASI533MC camera. The Coronado PST is an entry-level solar scope with a 40mm diameter that can observe details of the Sun’s “surface”, prominences, and flares. Here is the final processed image.
I took an image of an asteroid with my own name
My “own” asteroid (4540 Oriani)!
I imaged it last night with the Robotic Telescope Burke-Gaffney Observatory.
(4540) Oriani is orbiting the Sun between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. It was discovered at Osservatorio San Vittore in Bologna, Italy in 1988 and it was named after the astronomer Barnabus Oriani.
Do you have an asteroid with your own name?
It finally happened: I photographed the Helix Nebula!
I had been waiting to photograph the Helix Nebula for years… Well, on the night of July 22-23, 2023 it finally happened!
The Helix Nebula is a planetary nebula located 650 light-years away in the constellation of Aquarius. It is very low at our latitudes but I nailed it!
