Keith Bentley caught this spectacular shot of the Heart Nebula (Sh2-190) in Cassiopeia with his SVX102T. This emission nebula is located approximately 7,500 light-years away from Earth and has a rough diameter of 330 light-years. #stellarvue

Winner Winner, Chicken Dinner! Kevin Rasso was the first to guess correctly. We are prototyping a pier tripod for larger telescopes. Kevin gets $50 toward the purchase of any item on our website. #stellarvue

What is the prototype Vic's making in the shop? The first person who guesses correctly will receive a $50 Stellarvue gift card. Hint: It's probably not what you're thinking. Leave your guesses here or send them to mail@stellarvue.com. #stellarvue

Larry Ammann captured this striking shot of the Leo Triplet (M66 Group) with his SVX140T. Resting approximately 35 million light-years away from Earth, this galaxy group is located in the constellation Leo. It is made up of spiral galaxies M65, M66 and NGC 3628. #stellarvue

Paul Shortt caught this sublime shot of the Helix Nebula (NGC 7293) in Aquarius with his SVX102T. This planetary nebula rests approximately 650 light-years away from Earth and spans roughly 2.5 light-years across. #stellarvue

Here is your "In the Sky" update for the month of March. Get a look at all the events coming up this month and plan out which ones you'd like to observe. Enjoy the video and clear skies! #stellarvue ow.ly/m57s50YpoIj

Ross Salomone captured this image of last night's lunar eclipse with his SVX140T. This event is the result of the Moon passing through Earth's umbra. When this happens, Sunlight is blocked from reaching the moon, causing it to appear red or orange as light scatters. #stellarvue

Stellarvue recently attended Winter Star Party in the Florida Keys. Vic Maris gave a talk on the evolution of the refractor. The flagship SVX180T also made an appearance under dark skies. Jupiter was absolutely stunning! #stellarvue WSP Talk: ow.ly/bsKO50Yoh2c

Brad Draper caught this incredible shot of the Horsehead nebula and the Flame Nebula with his SVX130T. Located in the constellation Orion, both of these nebulae are approximately 1,350 light-years away from Earth. #stellarvue

Dave Weixelman captured this image of the moon with his SVX127D. This is a 3-panel mosaic captured with a ZWO ASI585MC camera. This image was taken on January 28, 2026, near Nevada City, CA. The moon phase was waxing gibbous at the time of the photo. #stellarvue

Heart Nebula taken at Chiefland Astrofest 2025. @svtelescopes SVX140T, PlayerOneAstronomy Poseidon M Pro, Chroma LRGB filters, and PegasusAstro Nyx 88 mount, NINA acquisition, PixInsight processing. This was a redo…hope you like the updated version!

Boogeyman Nebula! Reprocessed data taken at the WSP 2025 with my @svtelescopes SVX90T, PlayerOne Astronomy Poseidon C Pro, and @zwoastro AM3.

Mondo Gonzales captured this breathtaking image of the Angel Nebula (NGC 2170) in Monoceros with his SVX180T. This object is primarily classified as a reflection nebula and rests approximately 2,400 light-years away from Earth. #stellarvue

Frank Dibbell captured this crisp shot of the Cosmic Bat Nebula (LDN 43) in Ophiuchus with his SVX140T. Tony Hallas processed the image, highlighting the bat’s shape and bringing out its colors. This dark nebula sits approximately 1,400 light-years away from Earth. #stellarvue

Mark Savan caught this staggering shot of the Ghost of Cassiopeia (IC 63) with his SVX130T. Located in the constellation Cassiopeia, this emission/reflection nebula sits approximately 550 light-years away from Earth and has a rough diameter of 1 light-year. #stellarvue

At the 247th AAS meeting in Phoenix, 3 talks will be given by 2 Chambliss Amateur Achievement Award winners and a pro astronomer. These talks will take place in Room 121A of the Phoenix Convention Center, Jan 6th @ 2PM. Vic Maris will be there. submissions.mirasmart.com/AAS247/Itinera… #stellarvue

Brian Poole captured this luminous shot of Jones 1 in Pegasus with his SVX152T. This faint planetary nebula is located approximately 2,300 light-years away from Earth with an estimated diameter of 4 light-years. ow.ly/oEYc50XQHCr #stellarvue
