This week we feature a large galaxy cluster that can be found near Arcturus. All the faint brown fuzzies that can be seen in the centre of this image are all galaxies. A star is tagged so that you can … Continue reading
This week we feature the IC410/405 region of Auriga with an image captured using the 200mm Canon prime lenses together with the Optolong filters and the ASI 2600 MC Pro CMOS cameras.
And here’s the result of very nearly TEN DAYS continous, uniterrupted, flawless printing on the incredible ELEGOO Neptune 4 plus 3D printer. An incredible feat for such a low-priced large-volume printer. I don’t know how they do it – BUT … Continue reading
This week we feature a bright blue magnitude 3 star in Perseus, SAO39053, 39 Delta Persei. The image comprises 72 x 450-second subs, that is 540-minutes or NINE HOURS on the Sky90 array with the M26C OSC CCDs. I have … Continue reading

This is the ELEGOO Neptune 4 Plus 3D printer printing out a Sierpinsky pyramid measuring 300mm on a base line. As you can see, with the brim, this is the maximum size of pyramid I can build on the baseplate. … Continue reading
This week we show the full spectral range of stars, WOBAFGKMRNS, Wow oh be a fine girl kiss me right now sweetie, with all stars imaged from the New Forest Observatory.
These are the first few base layers amounting to 4-hours of printing in what will finally be a 201-hour 3D print on the ELEGOO Neptune 4 Plus 3D printer. If it manages to go to completion this will be a … Continue reading
This week we feature the bright star Tarazed, 50 Gamma Aquilae, in the constellation Aquila. This image comprises 2-hours of 5-minute subs using the Sky90 array and the M26C OSC CCDs.
