I just found some old unprocessed Hyperstar III data from 17th April 2010 and got on and processed it this afternoon 🙂  This is the Markarian Chain of galaxies in Virgo, and everything that is not obviously a star is a galaxy.  Put in B&W again so you can have fun counting all the “faint fuzzies” in this one – I can tell you there are a lot!  Went pretty deep here as it was the Hyperstar III at f#2 and there are 34 sub-exposures using 5-minute exposures per sub – just 10-minutes short of 3-hours of total exposure time on this one.  Also found on the HDD another 7 Hyperstar III frames making up a mega-mosaic of this whole galaxy-rich region – all unprocessed data.  I think you can guess what I’ll be working on for the next week or so 🙂 🙂
