Here is just the eruption and slowed down to about 4 FPS... You can see some gravity waves.

Added some nighttime city lights to fill the void. Red dots are fires detected by GOES-19. And of course Tropical Storm JD Vance in the lower left.

Here is a look back to Tsuchinshan-ATLAS comet transit along wit Mercury from October of 2024 as a test of the new SUVI Viewer. Pretty cool if you ask me!

Added CCOR-1, LASCO-C2 and C3 along with NOAA WSA-ENlil model to my new SUVI Live viewer! And I got lucky to find Venus making a transit in the field of view on LASCO-C3!!

This is known as Little Rosette Nebula. Located in the constellation Cassiopeia located 7500 light-years away. About 27 hours of light to make this. This is part of a larger object known as the Question Mark Nebula, which I will try to capture next. This is the dot.

Teddy Bear Nebula (sorta hard to find the bear). Also known as "Pillars of Cepheus". About 3000 light-years away. The pillars are dense columns of gas and dust carved and sculpted by intense stellar winds and radiation from hot, newborn stars. 35 hours of light to make this image

Bubble Nebula is the main attraction, but there is no much more going on here. 7100 light years from Earth. The β€œbubble” is created by stellar wind from the central massive hot star. 17 hours of light collected.

Messier 94 (M94), often called the Cat's Eye Galaxy or Croc's Eye Galaxy, is a spiral galaxy roughly 16 million light-years away in the constellation Canes Venatici. It has an unusual outer ring. There are many other galaxies visible in this image. About 18 hours of exposures.
