earthling<p>Moon Visits Sister Stars</p><p>Sometimes, the Moon visits the Pleiades. Technically, this means that the orbit of our Moon takes it directly in front of the famous Pleiades star cluster, which is far in the distance. The technical term for the event is an occultation, and the Moon is famous for its rare occultations of all planets and several well-known bright stars. </p><p>Image Credit: Cayetana Saiz</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/astrophotography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>astrophotography</span></a> <br><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Moon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Moon</span></a> <br><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Pleiades" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Pleiades</span></a> <br><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/occultation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>occultation</span></a> <br><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/APOD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>APOD</span></a></p>
XF9Markarian's Chain<br> <br> This is a group of galaxies in the Virgo constellation. The brighter ones, including M84 and M86 on the right side, appear to be placed on a curved line. But there are so many background galaxies! I had the image annotated and while it did annotate galaxies that aren't in the image (because they are so dim) it show just how many of these are in there.<br> <br> This is a target I wanted to shoot for quite some time. Unfortunately it's low, right in a light dome, and mostly obstructed by trees and houses. It just so happend that the timing was near perfect the last week, so all these constraints aren't as serve.<br> <br> I've taken this one with my Newtonian telescope I'm still working on, While I did figure out the focusing issues and contrast there are still things to tweak and improve.<br> <br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/astrophotography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#astrophotography</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/deepsky?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#deepsky</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/galaxy?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#galaxy</a>
