MINERVA-II-1 rovers: First photos from the two tiny robots, taken near the surface of asteroid Ryugu, September 21-22 2018. The blurry 3rd photo includes a cameo by the Hayabusa2 mothership & was taken just after the rovers were dropped toward the asteroid.
It is so cool to see such photos by beginners made with iPhone and eyepiece: “I know this may not be as good as many other photos but I tried my best with my beginners luck. Equipment : -Skywatcher 8 inch dob (manual) -iphone 7 (held manually) -10 mm eyepiece (super Plossl) Processing : Just photoshopped by -increasing contrast - fixing exposure - balancing whites and blacks Conditions: -very crappy skies (not good transparency) -light pollution: bortle 8-9 (inner city) - Jupiter not at opposition http://ift.tt/2FhOOrZ
