Simon Parkin showed the recent Crescent nebula with Carbon star image on tonight’s Meridian Weather 🙂
And here’s that recent Kappa Cassiopeia data expertly processed by Noel Carboni.
Whilst working on the mini-WASP array last night I took a quick image of a reasonably bright star with the one good scope and camera. The central star is Kappa Cassiopeia and the two open clusters above it are NGC … Continue reading
Took a look outside around 11:00 p.m. to see that we had really nice clear skies – that was unexpected. Can’t let a clear sky go to waste so I went out for an evening’s work tuning up the mini-WASP … Continue reading
The system was set up absolutely spot on last night, so rather than just go for a Carbon star, I went for a Carbon star (SAO 69636 – indicated by the yellow arrow) and a bit of interesting nebulosity 🙂 … Continue reading
And yet again another beautiful clear Moonless night last night – that’s 5 in a row now, almost makes up for 6 weeks of cloud and rain. Went for another Carbon star in Cygnus, this time it is U Cygni, … Continue reading
Grabbed this one from the clear night last night. Hyperstar III and M26C one-shot 10-megapixel camera. 22 subs at 200 seconds per sub with dither. Carbon star TT Cygni. If the clear skies continue I will add to the Carbon … Continue reading
I was just about to post up last night’s imaging session when I saw the counter has just gone over the 300,000 mark 🙂 Thank you all for visiting, and keep the visits coming, the mini-WASP array will be imaging … Continue reading
Stayed up until 2:00 a.m. last night taking a Hyperstar III/M26C 2-framer of the NGC 6883 and NGC 6871 regions in Cygnus. This is just one sub from each region quickly stitched together with virtually no processing just to get … Continue reading
Last night was the third night of trying to set up the Hyperstar III and the M26C 10-megapixel one-shot colour CCD. It’s been a bit of a battle and I still haven’t got very good chip flatness and collimation, but … Continue reading
