If you are new to Astronomy, you might want to check out what retrograde means..🙏🏻

🔭 Saturn has entered retrograde motion! 👇🏻

From our vantage point on Earth, the ringed giant now appears to drift backward against the backdrop of the stars — a fascinating optical illusion caused by the differing orbital speeds of our two planets. As Earth overtakes Saturn in its much wider orbit around the Sun, this apparent reversal happens like clockwork each year.

🪐 Of course, Saturn isn’t truly changing direction. But this retrograde phase offers astronomers a valuable opportunity to fine-tune our understanding of its orbit, dynamics, and interactions with its moons and nearby celestial bodies.

📅 Saturn will remain in retrograde until 28 November 2025
🌌 Look for it high in the eastern predawn sky. Currently in Pisces.

Got a few hours of data of the Crescent Nebula on Friday night (sat morning)Wanted to go for the North America but the clouds rolled in at 330am. So aborted. Combined what I have with old data. This is about 4 hours of data with 60seconds 180 seconds sub. Trying new way of processing by stretching different part of the image separately by used of masking. Can’t get the filaments on the crescent. Guess I need more data. Credit : Astro Scientific Centre PL’s customer Norman Leong.. hope you all like it 👍

Sharing my North America Nebula. Almost 6 hours of 180sec per sub. Cygnus is rising earlier in the coming months. More chance to add to the data especially O3 and S2. Processed in HOO normalised in PI. BlurX StarX. Graxpert and graxpert Denoise. No fund for NoiseX yet hahaha. Initially have a lot of walking noise have to retake my dark to match the 180sec sub. Remind ownself to do dithering in next imaging session. Credit : Astro Scientific Centre PL’s customer Mr Norman Leong 👍👍

13.06.25: Had clear skies early Friday morning so I got the chance to take an image of the Helix Nebula. It’s around 650-700 light years away from us. This is how a sun looks like at the end of its life. Our own Sun would look like this in about 5 Billion years. Credit : Astro Scientific Centre Pte Ltd’s Origin customer Eugene 👍👍
