The Horsehead nebula and the Belt Stars of Orion region. This is a 2-frame mosaic using a single Sky90 and a single M25C OSC CCD. H-alpha and OIII data was also included. Imaging time around 4-hours (or more) per frame. … Continue reading
A star reduced version of the old Sword of Orion data.
Here is another reprocess using the star reducer – this time the Veil nebula in Cygnus. I have only just noticed that it is this object that Russ Croman has used to demo his StarXTerminator program. I can see why … Continue reading
This is a composite Sky90/M25C and Hyperstar 4/2600MC-Pro image of the Markarian Chain region. The Sky90/M25C data is 8-hours in total, and the Hyperstar 4/2600MC-Pro data is 32 x 4-minute subs taken last night. There’s 2 asteroids in the image … Continue reading
I managed to get 4-hours worth of 10-minute subs on La Superba last night using the mini-WASP array. I composited this with around another 4-hours of data from a Sky 90/M25C combo – so around 8-hours in total using 10-minutes … Continue reading
This is a composite image combining the recent 8 x 20-minute subs from the Hyperstar III with earlier Sky 90/M25C which incorporated H-alpha and OIII narrowband data.
