Imagine that you are a detective who suddenly hears a gunshot. However, you can not walk to the area from which the noise came to see exactly what just happened, how would you solve the case? With this premise today I start talking about the process that we have been following to disclose and understand the physics of the super interesting gamma ray bursts. At the end of the episode I also solve some of the questions that you have sent me during this week.

This week’s episode is aimed at those who are interested in buying your first telescope or upgrading to a bigger one. I explain the pros and cons of each of the types of telescopes, their prices, their problems… And of course, I also mention the mounts that we need to be able to do astrophotography.
During the episode I mention some brands that I feel I can trust when choosing a telescope. These are: Skywatcher, Celestron, Meade, Orion, Vixen, Explore Scientific, William Optics, TS and Takahashi.

Galaxies and nebulae require long exposure times and need large amounts of images. This week I talk in detail about my workflow to make observe deep sky objects either with DSLRs and lenses or with more advanced tools such as telescopes and dedicated cameras. From the planning, to processing, I reveal all the steps and steps needed to get the final image that we were always wanting.

The night sky in May bring us a lot of different options for both north and Southern hemispheres. In particular, this month we will be able to observe the Eta Aquarids meteor shower, the best meteor shower of 2019. It is also a fantastic month to photography deep sky objects in the are of the Milky Way and to photograph Jupiter in all its power. Learn on this episode the tricks to successfully photograph all these sources as well as other interest ones visible during this next month.

On April 10, 2019, the first image of a black hole taken with the Event Horizon telescope was published. This telescope uses a technique called interferometry to combine the observations of multiple observatories located throughout Earth. In this episode I describe the importance of this discovery within the world of astrophysics and physics in general and I cover in detail what information the image offers us.

This week I talk about how astronomers live at an observatory doing scientific observations for almost a week. I also tell you about the preparation that goes with it before going. Through examples of projects made by my students I show you the amount of science that can be done with simple images and I encourage you to look at your astronomical images with different eyes.

As it is now tradition every month, this week’s episode summarises the main events and objects of the night sky that we will be able to see from the North and South Hemispheres during March. As always, the episode includes tips on how to photograph them as well as additional information on the science behind them. We talk about planets, the moon, galaxies and stellar clusters.

This week I bring you my top 5 list of weather apps to help you plan our observing nights knowing if the sky is going to be clear or covered. Each app has its pros and cons, but after years testing different options, these are the apps that give me the best results and I consider them the most reliable for my planning. I hope they can be useful for you as well.

The effects of the atmosphere in astrophotography
If you have ever wondered why it is sometimes difficult to capture the Moon when it is close to the horizon or why some nights without clouds you get disappointing results compared to others, then this will be a very special episode for you. This week I talk about how the airmass or the seeing can affect our images. I also talk about the lucky imaging technique that help us counteract these effects and give us more sharper images of the moon and planets.
