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.
This very red star IS NOT a Carbon star! It is 119 Tauri (SAO94628) one of the brightest, reddest, stars in the sky. This image was captured using a Hyperstar version III on a Celestron Nexstar11 GPS SCT. Camera used … Continue reading
The open cluster in the centre is NGC1817 in the constellation Taurus. This is 12 x 20-minute subs using the 3 x Sky90s and 3 x M26C OSC CCDs on the MiniWASP array at the New Forest Observatory.
I just took a close look at the old Merak 4-framer taken with the Sky90/M26C OSC CCD array, and I couldn’t believe the number of satellite trails and colour blotches that I had left in there. So I got rid … Continue reading
This is a very deep image of the Pleiades (M45) in Taurus. This comprises 27 x 40-minute subs (18-hours) on the Sky90 array with M26C OSC CCDs.
