Observations of the Sun, the Moon, and Planets 2020

Observation Overview | Special Events | References

It was not until 2018 that I began to observe the moon a little more in detail and to document my "more important" observations. On this page, I collect, somewhat unsystematically, my observations of the moon, the sun, and the planets from 2020, which might be of interest to other beginners and are therefore described here.

Note: Older observations are listed on the "Astronomy" overview page. The same applies to deep sky observations.

 

Observation Overview

Date
2020 		Objects Observed Location Devices Used Eyepieces and Cameras Used Remarks Further Remarks
Jan 1 Moon, Venus MH Explorer 150PDS on AZ4 All of my eyepieces Tested my Explorer 150PDS on AZ4 with all my eyepieces at the "almost half moon". At long 2" focal lengths, I saw the shadow of the secondary mirror, because it was not quite dark yet.

With my 4 mm UWA eyepiece (187.5 x) I tried to identify small craters at Rupes Altai; two craters with 14 km diameter were probably there; then I was able to identify Piccolomini T (8 x 8 km)!

10 mm SW (75 x): Moon fit straight in; 7 mm UWA (107 x): Moon fit straight in (82°), a little better than in the 10 mm Sky-Watcher eyepiece.

 Venus seen briefly: colorful and fuzzy, probably not quite round...
Jan 28 Moon, Venus, Neptune MH PS72 on AZ Pronto 7, 10, 16 mm Saw Venus and Neptune at a distance of about 1° (1° 4') (PS72 with 10 and 16 mm eyepieces)

Furthermore, I observed the crescent of the moon with PS72 with 7, 10, and 16 mm eyepieces

On Jan 27, there was conjunction with a distance of about 4'! But the sky was overcast; respectively, we missed the same on Jan 26 (1° 16')...

For the first time, we saw Neptune!

Feb 6 Venus, Neptune, Mercury MH eVscope, LT binoculars   Venus, Neptun with eVscope; Mercury and Venus seen with the naked eye and binoculars Neptune again, now in the eVscope!

Mar 23-24 Venus MH PS72 on AZ Pronto, SM-127 on AZ Pronto Sony RX100 M4 Mar 23, 2020: Observed Venus with PS72 and SM-127; it was half; this was better visible with the SM-127 because of less color fringes. With the SM-127, we also briefly observed M 42/43 and M 45.
24.3.2020: Observed Venus (maximum elongation for 2020) with SM-127 only and photographed it with 32mm/Sony RX100 M4. The half-Venus was better visible this day, because the sky was still brighter and Venus was higher.		 Photos below!
Mar 26-28 Moon, Venus
Pleiades		 MH   Sony RX10 M4 Mar 26: First photographed the crescent moon (too bright), then moon and Venus together

Pleiades		 MH SM-127 on AZ Pronto, C8 on AZ4 Sony RX100 M4, Sony RX10 M4 (tripod) Apr 1: observed moon and Venus with SM-127: Venus half, quite beautiful; half moon
Apr 2: observed the moon with SM-127 and C8; a little more than half moon; in C8 a little bit bigger and brighter; problems with focusing with the C8, moon not as uniformly sharp as with SM-127
Apr 3: observed the moon with SM-127; still a little more than half moon, Golden Handle(!); moon shortly seen in clouds and photographed (RX100 M4); around 11:30 p.m. Venus shortly visible in the Pleiades before setting; took a photo (RX10 M4)
Apr 4: observed with SM-127; half-Venus good, also with RX100 M4; Venus with Pleiades worked only visually; moon good with RX100 M4 and also purely visual; Venus and Pleiades quite good with RX10 M4...

May 5 Venus, Moon MH SM-127 on AZ Pronto; eVscope Sony RX100 M4 About 8 p.m.: Crescent of the Venus observed (various eyepieces (24, 16, 10)) and photographed with Skymax-127 (with RX100 M4 and 32 mm eyepiece); the sickle was fairly thin already.
About 11 p.m.: Moon observed and photographed with eVscope (tracking mode only; screenshot) 		Photos below!
May 17 Venus MH SM-127 on AZ Pronto Sony RX100 M4 About 11 p.m.: Crescent of the Venus observed shortly before setting with 16 mm eyepiece and photographed with Skymax-127 (with RX100 M4 and 16 mm eyepiece, camera held to the eyepiece); the sickle was even thinner. Photos below!
May 18 Venus MH SM-127 on AZ Pronto Sony RX100 M4 About 9:30 p.m.: Crescent of the Venus observed with 16 mm and 10 mm eyepiece and photographed with Skymax-127 (with RX100 M4 and 32 mm eyepiece, camera attached to the eyepiece); the sickle was even more thinner. Photos below!
May 19 Venus, Mercury MH PS72 on AZ Pronto Sony RX10 M4

From about 9 p.m. searched for Venus and Mercury, found Venus about 9:30 p.m.
First, I searched for Venus and Mercury in vain for a long time, and in the west there were also clouds. But finally, I discovered Venus. And a little later, halfway through the clouds, I also found also Mercury! For a long time, they played "weather house", but then both were to be seen, until Mercury disappeared at around 10 p.m. Before that, it passed a crane, without which we probably would have never found Mercury so well. Photographed freehand with the Sony RX10 M4.
We also observed with our binoculars, but in the two 10x binoculars it was difficult to see both at the same time - this was only possible in the star field binoculars (2x), in which the focusing was difficult.
This time I observed the Venus crescent in my refractor mainly at 108x in the 4 mm eyepiece (before in the 32 mm and 16 mm eyepieces). In the 32 mm eyepiece, which I use for photos, it was tiny...

Jun 29 Moon MH PS72 on AZ Pronto   Moon briefly observed with PS72, then clouds appeared (specialties: Vallis Alpes)  
Jun 30 Moon MH SM-127 on AZ Pronto   Observed the moon more intensive with SM-127 and with computer support (VMA): diverse craters (Tycho, Kepler, Copernicus, Gassendi; auch Clavius, Maginus und Longomontanus), mountains (Montes Alpes, Montes Caucasus, Montes Apenninus, Montes Spitzbergen, Mons Pico), and other structures (Vallis Alpes, Rima Hyginus, Rupes Altai, and Rupes Recta.
Astrid saw the beginning of the "Golden Handle", although a Website had announced it for the following night. It would have been observable from 11:30 p.m. on (Website in error)...		  
Jul 1 Moon MH PS72 on AZ Pronto   Moon briefly observed with PS72; Golden Handle already over...  
Jul 9 Jupiter, Saturn MH PS72 on AZ Pronto; TLAPO1027 on AZ4   PS72 compared with TLAPO1027 using M 3, but also Jupiter and Saturn. TLAPO1027 clearly better...  
Jul 18 Jupiter, Saturn MH SM-127 on AZ Pronto   We observed briefly Jupiter and Saturn with the Skymax-127 (32 mm, 10 mm). We also observed the comet C/2020 F3 (NEOWISE) on the Heiligenstein hill
Jul 23 Jupiter, Saturn Erk SM-127 on AZ Pronto  

Observed Saturn (ring) and Jupiter (1 moon to the left, 3 moons to the right) from the balcony (briefly before 1 a.m.) with the Skymax-127 (32 mm, 16 mm).

Also observed the comet C/2020 F3 (NEOWISE) in front of the house; moreover, I observed globular star clusters, mostly in Ophiuchus.

Aug 27 Moon, Jupiter, Saturn MH PS72 on AZ Pronto; TLAPO1027 on AZ4 16/24, 10/16, 4/7, -/4 mm (PS/TL) PS72 compared with TLAPO1027 using the moon, but also Jupiter and Saturn. TLAPO1027 clearly better (details elsewhere)...
Saturn up to 100 x (4/7 mm), Jupiter up to 100 x, in the APO also with 4 mm, that is, nearly 180 x. Then clouds appeared...
 Also observed some DSO; it was one day after half moon, which was already disturbing around the Milky Way...
Oct 10 Jupiter, Saturn, Mars MH PS72 on AZ Pronto; TLAPO1027 on AZ4 and AZ Pronto; eVscope 26/35, 4/7, 16/10 oder 7; single: 7, 4, 26, 16; 2 x extender with 4 and 7 mm (TLAPO) PS72 compared with TLAPO10277 using Jupiter and Saturn. TLAPO1027 clearly better (details elsewhere)... Saturn up to nearly 180 x with TLAPO; gets darker already at 10 x with the PS72.
Observed Mars with TLAPO1027 on AZ Pronto around midnight (up to nearly 180 x); a orange-yellow disk, but no details except for perhaps a dark shade at the center. Mars also observed with the eVscope: a small orange-yellow disk (see below).		 Jupiter with 4 moons and definite stripes; Saturn seen well with its ring, but even at the highest magification, no Cassini division recognizable.
Oct 11 Jupiter, Saturn MH C8 on AZ4 24 mm, 16 mm Jupiter and Saturn observed with C8 Jupiter with 3/4 moons; stripes hardly to see; Saturn seen well
Oct 19 Mars MH eVscope   Observed Mars  
Oct 24 Jupiter, Saturn, Mars, Moon MH eVscope   Observed Saturn (ring), Jupiter (various moons), Mars, and the Moon with the eVscope in Live View mode. Jupiter poor to photograph; photos below!

Nov 5 Jupiter, Saturn, Mars MH C8 on AZ4, TLAPO1027 on AZ Pronto and AZ4 26, 24, 16, 10, 7, 4 mm Observed Saturn (ring), Jupiter (4 moons), and Mars with C8 on AZ4 and TLAPO1027 on AZ Pronto and later AZ4. Mars remained a yellow disk; even color filters did not help...  
Nov 14 Mars, Neptune, Pluto MH eVscope   Observed Mars, Neptune, and Pluto Photos below!
Nov 24 Moon MH eVscope, RX10 M4   Photographed the moon (a little more than half moon) Photos below!
Dec 16 Jupiter, Saturn, Mars, Moon MH C8 on Star Discovery, C5 on photo tripod, later on AZ Pronto, SM-127 on AZ Pronto 40, 24, 16, 10 mm C8 on Star Discovery: Jupiter (4 moons) and Saturn with 40 mm the same FOV; Mars "wobbly"
C5 on photo tripod, later on AZ Pronto: Crescent of the moon nice, but observed with reducer initially (mishap); later observed with 24 mm and without reducer (AZ Pronto)
SM-127 on AZ Pronto: Ditto the crescent of the moon; image clearly larger because the C5 was used with a reducer; Astrid found the image in the C5 better
C5 on AZ Pronto: Mars "wobbly" 		 
Dec 25 Moon
Jupiter, Saturn, Mars 		MH C5 on Star Discovery, SM-127 on AZ Pronto, LT and TS binoculars 24, 32 mm Observed Jupiter and Saturn (0.5°) with the naked eye, binoculars, and telescopes (C5, Skymax-127) briefly from our balcony and tried to take photos. They disappeared soon behind a tree and set shortly after...

Afterwards, observed the moon (a little more than half, Golden Handle already passed) using my C5 (Star Discovery, 24 mm) and my Skymax-127 (AZ Pronto, 32 mm); finally, observed the "wobbly" Mars (same eyepieces). Did not manage to find M 15, before clouds came...

Photos below!
Dec 28 Moon
Jupiter, Saturn		   C5 on AZ Pronto 24, 32 mm Jupiter and Saturn (approx. 50') briefly observed with the naked eyes and C5 telescope (24, 32 mm) from balcony behind tree. Went down fast. Almost full moon fuzzy in the clouds...  

All observations done in Mühlhausen/Kraichgau (MH), except for where noted otherwise.
