?? For over 50 years, Robert Reeves has been imaging the Moon with the same trusty C8. Today, he takes us to the aftermath of one of the Moon’s most violent events—Tycho’s explosive formation. With the Sun low on the lunar horizon, Tycho’s bright rays fade into the background, letting the surrounding chaos come into focus. Thousands of tiny impact pits—carved by ejecta from the blast—stretch across the terrain, densely packed within 200 km before thinning out. This was a true no man’s land during the stony hailstorm. A dramatic reminder of the Moon’s violent past. #LunarImaging #TychoCrater #CelestronC8 #RobertReeves #MoonShots

?? Teamwork Makes the Dream Work ???? ? Back in January, Celestron teammates Kevin and Chris took advantage of dark skies on our company camping trip — and the results speak for themselves. Using Celestron Origin, Kevin captured deep-sky data right from camp. Then Chris took over, stacking 20-second exposures with PixInsight and Photoshop to bring out every detail. Swipe to see the original from Origin vs. the final stacked image. ???? Just another example of how Origin supports you at every stage of your imaging journey.? ? Awesome work, Kevin and Chris! ?? ? #CelestronOrigin #Astrophotography #Teamwork #DarkSkyCamping #DeepSkyImaging #NightSky

?? The Big, the Bold, the Beautiful – RASA 36! ?? This astrograph powerhouse captured NGC 281 – The Pacman Nebula in jaw-dropping detail. Hellas-Sky's (@hellas.sky) image reveals the intricate dust structures and glowing hydrogen clouds, showcasing the nebula’s true beauty like never before. With massive aperture and ultra-fast optics, the RASA 36 is built for serious deep-sky imaging, delivering unrivaled clarity and depth. ?? Big aperture. Fast optics. Stunning results. ?? ??: Hellas-Sky #RASA36 #PacmanNebula #NGC281 #Celestron #Astrophotography #DeepSky

Hidden caves on the Moon? Scientists have been studying lunar caves and lava tubes for years, but new discoveries could change space exploration forever! ???? These caves, found beneath the Ocean of Storms and Sea of Tranquility, might be entrances to ancient lava tubes—potential shelters for future astronauts from intense radiation, extreme temperatures, and constant meteor strikes. ?????? #MoonBase #SpaceExploration

?? Exciting news from our friends at Baader Planetarium (@baaderplanetarium)! ?? They’ve finalized an extraordinary project at the Teide Observatory, setting up sixteen 11" RASA telescopes ?? at the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC). The IAC-ATLAS will play a crucial role in identifying potentially dangerous objects early, making a significant contribution to global safety. ????
