🌕 He's spent decades imaging the Moon, and now Team Celestron member Robert Reeves is reaching even deeper into the universe! Armed with a Celestron Origin, he’s shooting dozens of new targets like galaxies, nebulae, and star clusters—all from his suburban backyard. #CelestronOrigin #DeepSkyImaging #RobertReeves #Astrophotography #ExploreTheCosmos

💖 Astrophotographer Ron Brecher spent 27 hours capturing the heart of the Heart Nebula (IC 1805) in a narrowband color palette using his Celestron 14" EdgeHD. #HeartNebula #Astrophotography #CelestronEdgeHD #DeepSkyBeauty #NarrowbandMasterpiece

🚀✨ Truly, practice makes perfect! Instagrammer @yourlocalastrophotographer has been hard at work capturing Saturn since 2015, and the progress speaks for itself. Check out their progression over the years from starting with a Celestron CGEM 8" EdgeHD telescope to now imaging with a 14" EdgeHD! 🔭🪐 🌠 Have you been imaging Saturn? Let's see your progression photos below. #SaturnPhotography #EdgeHD #AstrophotographyJourney #CelestronGear #NightSkyExploration

🌌✨ Save the Date December 7 - Jupiter’s Opposition ✨🌌 The King of the Planets will be on glorious display Saturday, December 7. Check out all of Jupiter’s iconic features: 1️⃣ The Great Red Spot – A massive storm bigger than Earth that’s been raging for centuries. 🌪️ 2️⃣ Cloud Bands – Beautiful stripes created by powerful winds in Jupiter’s atmosphere. 🌫️ 3️⃣ The Four Galilean Moons – Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto are visible even through small telescopes! 🌙✨ Head outside with a pair of binoculars or a telescope to explore Jupiter and its moons during opposition! https://bit.ly/3dnCJDZ What feature are you most excited to see? Let us know! 👇 #JupiterOpposition #Astronomy #Stargazing

🌌 A Close-Up of Neptune and Triton from Earth 🌌 Last Monday, Celestron engineers Tim and Derik were testing Celestron Origin's tracking code, locking onto Neptune with pinpoint precision. But there was an unexpected bonus... 🔭 What’s that near Neptune? A tiny dot appeared just beside the planet’s disk. A quick check with SkySafari Pro revealed the answer: Triton, Neptune’s largest moon—captured in less than a minute from the light-polluted skies of San Francisco and Los Angeles! 🌙✨ With the Celestron Origin, even casual tests can reveal stunning celestial sights. The universe is closer than you think! 💫 📸: Neptune and Triton, captured with Celestron Origin. #CelestronOrigin #BackyardAstronomy #Triton #ExploreTheUniverse

🌌 Ultimate Astrophotography Challenge 🌌 J-P Metsavainio (@metsavainiojp) has been piecing together a breathtaking mosaic of the Northern Milky Way over the past decade from his backyard in Finland. This monumental project highlights several iconic nebulae: Top Row: ✨ Rosette Nebula ✨ Jellyfish Nebula ✨ Melotte 15 (Heart Nebula's core) ✨ Elephant Trunk Nebula Bottom Row: 🔥 Horsehead Nebula 🔥 California Nebula 🔥 Sharpless 132 Emission Nebula 🔥 Pickering's Triangle (in the Veil Nebula SNR) J-P started this project back in 2014. He captured every image with his Celestron EdgeHD 11" telescope and 0.7x Reducer Lens. #MilkyWayMosaic #Astrophotography #CelestronEdgeHD #NorthernMilkyWay #Nebulae #SpaceArt

🌌 Ground-breaking News! 🌌 Celestron's C14 telescope went where no land-based telescope of this size has gone before. The Virtual Telescope Project (VTP) in Italy used the Celestron C14 to explore the region of quasar PSO J006.1240+39.2219. With over 11 hours of data and 133 images, VTP not only saw the quasar but faint stars with a magnitude of 25.5. Gianluca Masi of VTP shares, "To our knowledge, no telescope with a diameter under 180 cm has ever reached so deeply into space and time." This achievement speaks to Celestron's optical excellence and the power of ground-based telescopes in scientific research—proving that the universe is within reach for all of us. 🌠 Read more https://bit.ly/4fQM99s #VirtualTelescopeProject #Celestron #Astronomy #GroundBasedTelescope #Quasar
