Frame 1 of 7 taken with the Hyperstar III processed and ready to be made into a mega-mosaic of the Virgo/Coma galaxy region. Over 16 hours of Hyperstar III data taken between 7th April 2010 and 17th April 2010 found … Continue reading
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 … Continue reading
Negative B&W images of deep-sky scenes are great for picking up all those background “faint fuzzies”.

There is a bright Moon overhead and tons of thin high cloud – no good for imaging but perfect for getting the Hyperstar tuned up again 🙂 Managed to focus train and collimate the Hyperstar to better than ever before … Continue reading
A reprocess taking the ugly spikes off the Double Cluster itself!
The Double Cluster and Stock 2 region in Perseus. Grabbed the last bit of this data last night. Also managed to get rain into the observatory as a solitary rain cloud passed over and chucked it down 🙁 All dried … Continue reading
When this is framed properly, and at least 3 hours worth of data taken, then this is going to look good 🙂
Managed to get half an hour on the Double Cluster with one camera before it all went pear-shaped with the weather last night. The Double Cluster and Stock 2 is one image that the mini-WASP array was actually designed for … Continue reading
Took this image with the Canon 5D MkII around 7:20 p.m. on Monday 2nd January 2012. Here we have a very nice lunar halo and close to the Moon at around 7 O’clock we have Jupiter too. But there’s a … Continue reading
