I saw on the Sky 6 that there were 3 bright asteroids in Leo, namely 16 Psyche, 29 Amphitrite and 62 Erato.  So when I processed the data this morning and only saw 2 I wondered what was wrong.  Checked on Guide 9 and there was no sign of Erato in the FOV, so the Sky 6 got it wrong for me.  Thanks a lot.

Processed to show the dark tendrils that permeate all dense star regions:

A 200mm lens 2-framer taken over 2 nights this week – Procyon & Gomeisa in Canis Minor.

Found I had this one on the hard drive while processing last night’s Procyon data.

This is the bright star just above Procyon – Gomeisa.

15 subs of 15-minutes taken with the Sky 90 array and M26C OSC CCDs.

No Moon and some clear sky between 8:15 p.m. and 10:00 p.m.

Set up the 2 x 200mm lenses on the Procyon region for the first of 2 frames containing Procyon and Gomeisa.  Got the Procyon frame and cropped it down to fit with some earlier Procyon data taken with the Sky 90.  Here is the Registar bolt-together of the 2 datasets.

11 x 9-minute subs with the 200mm lenses and M26C cameras from last night.

Around 3-hours of 10-minutes subs from the Sky 90 and M25C from earlier.

A 22-degree lunar halo taken last night (09/03/2017) at 8:20 p.m.

Lovely view of Orion too.

Red flashing light photobombing the image was a military helicopter which was tailing another military helicopter that had NO LIGHTS showing!!

Got today’s EPOD with the recent deep Pleiades image.

Thank you Jim at EPOD for continuing to publish my work.

As a month has now gone past, I have just this minute ordered another 4 x Xeon 2.93GHz hex-core CPUs for the DELL PowerEdge C6100 quad node server.  So when they arrive and are put in I will have 4 dual processor nodes number crunching the primes.
