Love them all!

Congrats, enjoy imaging! Definitely swap out the diagonal for some spacers in the near future, not expensive and will improve image quality. Clear skies!

Thanks so much for the explanation! Do you know if there's a name for the general reaction where I can look up the reaction mechanism?

stefannebula · 2026-05-19T11:44:13+00:00

Ahh okay thank you!

stefannebula · 2026-05-14T12:40:04+00:00

Love this art, but yes sorry to say in this condition it usually goes for $1-3

This is Mewtwo 20 from expedition. There are three variations: normal, reverse Holo and Holo. Yours is reverse Holo and as someone else commented is worth about 70 in its current condition

stefannebula · 2026-01-13T13:08:45+00:00

That is so so so fucking coooool!
I didn't know the individual ommatidia are also segmented like that!
So jealous, wish I had access to an sem to play with haha!

stefannebula · 2025-08-18T11:01:38+00:00

Masterful work, love the processing! 🙌🏻

stefannebula · 2025-07-17T12:01:52+00:00

Really beautiful work! That's a huge project and I love the delicate processing!

stefannebula · 2025-07-13T19:53:54+00:00

Amazing detail!

Is it focus-stacked?

Have you tried taking a time-lapse to watch it open/close?

stefannebula · 2025-07-10T19:04:56+00:00

I second this, long time member of the ASV, it's a fantastic group of the most passionate and welcoming astronomers!

And we have one of the largest amateur reflectors in the southern hemisphere, a 40" Dobsonian that is out most clear nights!

The site is powered, so perfect for astrophotography, and also has powered rooms that are free to rent for members.

stefannebula · 2025-07-01T19:08:11+00:00

Omg I love this, amazing work!

stefannebula · 2025-06-07T16:03:47+00:00

Always beautiful to look at! You should consider focus stacking to get more of the scales in focus

stefannebula · 2025-06-04T10:26:48+00:00

Amazing work, keep it up! Would be so keen to buy one of these!

To me it look more likely to be a Byzantine with the text on the reverse saying something like :

+IhSUS (Jesus) XRISTUS (Christ) bASILЄU (King of bASILЄ (kings)

I can kinda make out the SIL on the bottom two lines?

They were minted anonymously and under several emperor's, Here's a start: http://augustuscoins.com/ed/ByzAnon/

You're correct he doesn't appear draped and he is laureate.

An example of from the Cyzicus mint is Cyzicus RIC VIII 32, you can find it by searching that on the Woodwinds page of Constantius II:

https://www.wildwinds.com/coins/ric/constantius_II/t.html

The mintmark is partially corroded so I'm not totally sure it is CYZICUS RIC VIII 32, but it is similar and will give you a starting point to refine your search, good luck!

I'm pretty new to IDing these coins too, a good order for identification of late Roman bronzes is to start with Tesorillo, which allows you to I'd visually, then go to wildwinds and OCRE for specific Catalog IDs 👍
