An astrophoto of Jupiter. In order to get an image of planets that appear very bright and very tiny, a powerful magnifier — such as the 26-inch telescope at Badlands Observatory — is used. Thousands of video frames are captured with the best 5-10% stacked to result in a final image. That stacked image is then meticulously adjusted with software to increase contrast, color and detail.Â

An astrophoto of the M31 Andromeda Galaxy. This image is several hours of visible (RGB) light combined with Hydrogen Alpha (Ha) filters — the red spots in the arms are star-forming regions rich in hydrogen.
