Italian amateur astronomer Paolo Campaner photographed the following images of M57 nebula and Jupiter with a DMK 41AU02.AS camera.

Attached image of M57 in Lyra, shooting with Newton Marcon 200mm F5.5, DMK41, UV-IR cut filter. Development of 5 frames of 132 “.

A revival of August 23, 2010 Jupiter in good seeing conditions. Newton Marcon to 200mm focal Eq. of mm6000. An excellent result for my instrument, well supported in this case by excellent DMK41.

Thank you Paolo for nice pictures! And welcome to the TIS astronomy camera online community!

On September.21, 2010, Jupiter will come to its perihelia opposition and appear bigger and brighter to the people on Earth. It is in fact the closest approach since October 1963 and the giant planet will reach a diameter of almost 50 arc seconds in the constellation of Pisces.

This is no doubt a special opportunity for observers. We wish all of you clear skies during this event and expect to receive your image of Jupiter afterwards. Our email address: info@theimagingsource.com.

The following Jupiter photo was submitted by Australian astrophotographer Lester Barnes. Lester photographed this on April.9, 2009, with his DFK 21AF04.AS astronomy camera.

Fabio Acquarone, another solar photographer from Italy, captured these images when he used his DMK 21AU04.AS camera for the first time. Tech info can be found in the image captions.

Here is what he wrote in the email:

If possible I desire to participate to the DMK blog, which I see a lot of stunning images.

My images are the first using the DMK 21AU04.AS Monochrome camera.

I hope you enjoy, all are SUN images using Luntsolar 60mm double stacked 50mm, B1200 blocking filter.

Pretty good pictures, Fabio, particularly for the first time! Thank you!

Many amateur astronomers photograph the Sun or the Moon in small pieces and merge them later to get a bigger picture that reveals great details of a region or the complete disk. We have received many pictures of this kind, most of them truly remarkable ones.

The following mosaic pictures were submitted by Italian photographer Adriano Amadori. He captured these amazing images on in August in Verona. His shooting camera is DMK 21AU04.AS with a 1/4″ CCD and USB interface.

More tech info can be found in the image caption.

Thank you Adriano! Keep up the good work!

This solar prominence was photographed by Italian amateur astronomer Erio Rossi. Erio is based in Mantova, Italy. He has done some brilliant jobs on photographing the Sun since November 2009. Click here to see the complete list of his work.

Along with the prominence photo, Erio also sent us some pictures of his setup:

Erio has two astronomy cameras manufactured by The Imaging Source: DMK 41AF02.AS and DMK 31AF03.AS.

His email has been translated as below:

I send you this picture that presents a massive solar prominence on the eastern edge of the day 07/08/2010.

For comparison our Earth was added.

All my shots are obtained by the DMK 41 great sensor, ideal for resolution and size photography. My equipments consist of a Sky Watcher Refractor 102/500 Solar Spectrum filter and 0.5 A telecentric TZ 4.

Processing software: Adobe Photoshop CS2, Registax 5.

Many thanks Erio! Keep up the good work!
