Ethan Chappel @chappelastro.com · 12/05/2026Saturn is back! After passing behind the Sun in late-March, Saturn is rising out of the morning twilight. The southern hemisphere is tilted more towards us than last year as it moved away from last year's equinox and towards the next solstice in 2032. #Astronomy #Astrophotography 2268

Ethan Chappel @chappelastro.com · 15/11/2025Saturn with Tethys, Dione, and Rhea on September 2nd, 2025. 12 years to the night after my first shot of the ringed planet with an EdgeHD 8 and original USB 2.0 ASI120MM. #Astronomy #Astrophotography 2476
Ethan Chappel @chappelastro.com · 17/10/2025Jupiter was in the line of sight between us and the magnitude 7.9 star HD 61660 on October 13th, appearing as an interloper among the Galilean Moons. It's an orange star 25x more luminous than the Sun and 660 light years away. Europa had a very close pass from home. #Astronomy #Astrophotography 27721
Ethan Chappel @chappelastro.com · 27/09/2025Titan casting its shadow on Saturn on August 3rd, 2025. Tethys is also transiting just above the rings, but they were blocking the view its shadow. #Astronomy #Astrophotography 25110
Ethan Chappel @chappelastro.com · 22/09/2025Neptune and Triton on September 19th, 2025. Look carefully and you'll notice the subtle gradient from brighter in the south to darker in the north. #Astronomy #Astrophotography 6439

Ethan Chappel @chappelastro.com · 06/08/2025Jupiter this morning. Finally becoming viable to catch a decent image of it as it rises away from the morning twilight. #Astrophotography 2908
Ethan Chappel @chappelastro.com · 28/06/2025Venus on June 21st, 2025 in bi-color IR-UV to emphasize the cloud features in the atmosphere. #Astrophotography 15811
Ethan Chappel @chappelastro.com · 03/06/2025A distant view of Mars on June 2nd, 2025, over 2.5x farther than it was at its closest approach in January. Clouds can be seen over Olympus Mons just right of center and the three Tharsis volcanoes to the lower-right of it. #Astrophotography 3451
Ethan Chappel @chappelastro.com · 02/06/2025Venus on June 1st, 2025 in false-color IR-UV to enhance features in the cloudtops. #Astrophotography 1445
Ethan Chappel @chappelastro.com · 01/06/2025Saturn on June 1st, 2025. The rings are continuing to brighten as they open towards the Sun. #Astrophotography 210218
Ethan Chappel @chappelastro.com · 14/05/2025Saturn is back in the morning sky but something looks different. Just a few days after equinox, it's autumn in the north & spring in the south. The dark line cutting across the planet are the rings, not their shadow. They are very dark when sunlight hits them at a shallow angle. #Astrophotography 1240
Ethan Chappel @chappelastro.com · 09/05/2025Transit of #exoplanet WD 1856+534 b across its white dwarf host star. An unusual system where we see a small white dwarf star partially occulted by a giant planet every 1.4 days, resulting in a much deeper decrease in brightness than most exoplanet transits. #Astrophotography 2569

Ethan Chappel @chappelastro.com · 17/03/2025Full Moon Photobomber Two years after catching a previous lunar occultation of Mars before clouds rolled in, I had another chance in January to catch one and create a Moon mosaic as I originally planned to provide a sense of scale. #Astrophotography 2244
Ethan Chappel @chappelastro.com · 19/12/2024#Jupiter on December 19th, 2024 near zenith. Uncharacteristically not terrible conditions for this time of year. #Astrophotography 28310
Ethan Chappel @chappelastro.com · 21/11/2024What's interesting about this little speck in the night sky? It is Ceres, the only #DwarfPlanet in the asteroid belt and only object there massive enough for gravity to shape it into a sphere. #Astrophotography 3273
Ethan Chappel @chappelastro.com · 19/11/2024#Jupiter with the GRS on November 13th, 2024 through decent seeing. Also barely visible far to the right is the new SEB outbreak. #Astrophotography 1516
Ethan Chappel @chappelastro.com · 13/11/2024New eruption in the South Equatorial Belt of #Jupiter captured on November 12th. This is likely to spread across the belt over the next few months. #Astrophotography 111014

Ethan Chappel @chappelastro.com · 11/10/2024Lagoon & Trifid #Nebula taken at South Llano River State Park. Clouds blocked the sky when the public was present for the night's outreach event, but cleared for some time after they left. This was my first time using the Esprit 100ED under a dark sky. #Astrophotography 1142
Ethan Chappel @chappelastro.com · 02/10/2024Will we see a second naked-eye comet this month? This is C/2024 S1 (ATLAS), discovered by the ATLAS survey a few days ago. It will reach perihelion on October 28th, only a couple weeks after C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS) reaches peak brightness and moves into the evening sky. #Astrophotography 1132
