This is the second (and final) bit of ancient history that I’ll be looking at today. This time it is Merope (and Ally’s braid) again in the Pleiades, this time from 25/12/2005 (so it looks like I was out imaging … Continue reading
Sometimes it is good to delve into a bit of ancient history to see how things have developed (or not). This image of Alcyone (in the Pleiades) is from 20/11/2005. It was taken using an original Hyperstar (no collimation or … Continue reading
The famous Double Cluster in Perseus. This is taken with a Hyperstar III on a Celestron Nexstar 11 GPS with an SX M25C OSC CCD. The image comprises 57 x 2-minute subs.
M33 – The Triangulum galaxy. Only 38 x 4-minute subs on the Hyperstar 4 on a Celestron Nexstar 11 GPS with an ASI 2600MC Pro CMOS camera.
This is only 39 x 4-minute subs taken using the Hyperstar 4 on the Celestron Nexstar 11 GPS SCT with an ASI 2600MC Pro CMOS camera.
The famous Coma Cluster of galaxies, where in 1933 Fritz Zwicky first proposed the existence of Dark Matter.
I put the 200mm lenses (and Optolong L-enhance filters with the 2600MC Pro CMOS cameras) onto the Gamma Cassiopei nebula last night. Because of gremlins I only managed to get 10 x 20-minute subs when I should have had 42 … Continue reading
This is a 4-frame mosaic taken using the Sky90s and M26C OSC CCDs on the MiniWASP array. The image comprises 18 x 10-minute subs per frame.
The Monkey head nebula. A composite image using data from the original Hyperstar I on a Clestron Nexstar C11 SCT, with a tiny H9C OSC CCD, and two lots of data from the 200mm lens and an M26C OSC CCD.
