Saturn-Titan Transits with Greg Shanos
Episode 105
dimanche 16 novembre 2025 • Duration 37:12
In this episode of The AstroGuy Podcast, Wayne sits down with planetary imager Greg Shanos, one of the most dedicated and skilled amateur astronomers working today. Greg recently completed an extraordinary observing project: imaging 15 out of 16 Titan transits across Saturn during this year’s rare transit season. These events only occur during brief windows every 15 years, making his achievement one of the most complete amateur records of the phenomenon.
Before the interview, Wayne reminds listeners about the 1,000-subscriber contest, where one lucky viewer will win a free autographed and numbered print. If you haven’t entered yet, be sure to visit the contest video and leave a comment before November 25th.
In the main segment, Greg shares how he planned and executed his transit campaign, the gear and imaging workflow he relied on, the challenges he faced along the way, and what these observations reveal about the Saturnian system. Greg was recently honored with the 2025 Walter A. Haas Observer Award from ALPO, recognizing his significant contributions to lunar and planetary observing.
This episode offers a deep look at the power and passion of amateur astronomy — and how one dedicated observer can produce scientifically meaningful work that stands alongside professional data.

What's Up in the November 2025 Skies?
Episode 104
dimanche 26 octobre 2025 • Duration 21:48
In this episode of The AstroGuy Podcast, Wayne explores what’s happening in the night sky this November. The evening skies are filled with bright planets — Jupiter shines brilliantly all month, Saturn’s rings appear nearly edge-on, and Uranus reaches opposition on November 21st, making this the best time of the year to view the distant ice giant. Neptune remains faint in Pisces, while Mercury, Mars, and Venus make brief appearances near sunrise and sunset.
Comet Lemmon (C/2025 A6) continues to impress observers, while Comet SWAN (C/2025 R2) offers a fainter but rewarding binocular challenge. The Leonid meteor shower peaks on November 17th and 18th under dark, moonless skies, with about a dozen meteors per hour expected.
In space news, SpaceX achieved another milestone with the successful dual splashdowns of Starship and its booster during Flight 11.
This month’s lunar feature is Gassendi Crater, a striking, terraced impact crater on the edge of Mare Humorum.
The Deep Sky Tour focuses on Perseus, high in the eastern sky on November evenings. Wayne shares the mythology behind the hero who rescued Andromeda and highlights Perseus’s brightest stars — Mirfak and Algol — along with several deep sky treasures.
Wayne also previews the next episode — an interview with planetary imager Greg Shanos, who recently captured 15 of 16 Titan transits across Saturn.

Integration Time: Is more really better?
dimanche 22 juin 2025 • Duration 20:10
Welcome to the AstroGuy Podcast!, in this episode we’re focusing on one of the most essential topics in astrophotography—total integration time. Have you ever asked yourself why experienced astrophotographers spend hours—or even nights—on a single target? Well, we’ll break down exactly what integration time is, why it plays a vital role in your deep sky images, and how you can maximize your total exposure time for sharper, more detailed results. Whether you're a beginner in astrophotography or looking to take your imaging to the next level, this episode is packed with practical tips, clear explanations, and real-world advice to help you get the most out of every frame.
In the episode, we’ll cover topics such as:
• What is total integration time?
• Why longer exposures make a difference
• How to shoot across multiple nights
• Planning for moonlight and light pollution
• The importance of calibration frames (darks, flats, bias)
• Avoiding the trap of shooting too many targets in one night
