A decade ago I wanted to find a way to recognize the wonderful images that researchers created -- in the lab and in the field. With some likeminded folks, we got it off the ground. It's worked out beautifully, and I'm proud of it.

Had a go processing some of my older narrowband data in Pixinsight of Melotte 15 in the Heart Nebula. I feel this is a better result this time, more finer structure and better stars. This was 18 hours data with Ha, SII and OIII using Atik 383L+ and 190MN #astrophotography

'Satellite Swarm Zoom'
A star trail image made with a time-lapse image sequence photographed by Jonny Kim from ISS. Each image was restored, remastered then retimed using frame interpolation for a short film. These new frames allowed for a simulated long exposure photograph.

This photo from the Perseverance rover captured in early March, may be my favorite Mars image from this year.
It shows Mars' smaller moon Deimos over the hills of the Nili Planum region in the dark skies before dawn. 🔭

A recent vista from Mars obtained by the Perseverance Rover on its 1635th Martian day, or 'Sol', Clouds far above the eternal dust pall are unusually well shown in this afternoon view. This is a mosaic of two wide angle color Navcam images.
