10 and a half hours on IC348 with the Sky90 array
Some more reprocessed old data, this time it’s IC348 in Perseus. This is 10 and a half hours of data in 30-minute subs using the Sky90 array and the M26C OSC CCDs.
21-hours of 40 and 20-minute subs on M45 – The Pleiades
Going through the old data I found I had taken the same region of M45 (the Pleiades) over 3 different nights. The data turned out to be 21-hours worth of 40 and 20-minute subs taken on the Sky90 array with … Continue reading

Gomeisa (3-Beta Canis Minoris)
Another reprocess of old data – this time it’s Gomeisa in Canis Minor – 36 x 10-minute subs on the Sky90 array went into this one.
Mizar & Alcor in Ursa Major
Another reprocess of old data. This time it’s Mizar & Alcor in Ursa Major. 21 x 10-minute subs on the Sky90 array for this one.
Hind’s Variable nebula – uncropped
Here is the full-frame (uncropped) version of Hind’s Variable nebula.
