On the “Best Hotshots of 2006″ CD-ROM you’ll find our Heart of the Rose image

I hope you all managed to see the Daily Mail today?  Sorry for the late posting, other things got in the way today! 

You can read the online version of the article by Michael Hanlon on the Daily Mail website.  If you want a laugh make sure you check out my photo….Never wear a white top when standing next to a white observatory…

The guys over at Curdridge Observatory have done some interesting work with our mosaic image of M31.  We produced our mosaic with the SXV-H9C one-shot colour camera on the Hyperstar lens which has a reasonably large field of view (FOV) of one degree by three-quarters of a degree.

So, what is so interesting?  They have used our image as a chrominance layer with their own image as the luminance layer - the result looks great. 

Make sure you take a look at the original M31 Andromeda Image by Tom How at Curdridge Observatory.  Oh, the Curdridge image is on the left and our image is on the right

This time we are on page 93.  You will find our latest image of M31 - The Great Andromeda Galaxy.

This is a 4 frame Hyperstar mosaic.

Great news for those of you who get the Astronomy Now magazine. You’ll find our 3 frame Hyperstar/SXV-H9C mosaic of the Horsehead Nebula on page 93.

Wow! On Page 83 of this months Sky at Night you’ll find one of our images:

• The region between NGC1977 and M43

Even better, you’ll find two images on the CD-ROM:

• Flaming Star Nebula
• Leo Trio

All of these are single frame Hyperstar images.

Astronomy Now have published two of our Hyperstar images this month:

• An image of the Leo Trio on Page 94 (a 2 frame hyperstar mosaic)
• An image of M13 on Page 43 in “The Night Sky” section

This is a fantastic result.  Our image of the core of the Rosette Nebula has been published in the Sky At Night magazine on page 84.

This is a single frame Hyperstar image.

In the April 2006 issue of Astronomy Now Magazine you’ll find our image of the Flaming Star Nebula on Page 93.

This is a single frame Hyperstar image.

We are on a roll! Sky at Night Magazine have included two of our images on this months cover CD ROM - both are two-frame Hyperstar/SXV-H9C images:

• NGC6496 + cluster
• Orion nebula (2-frame).
