IC 1831 region in Cassiopeia – Milky Way star field

North is to the right in this Sky 90/M25C image comprising 33-subs at 590 seconds per sub.  I went very deep with the Sky 90 for this one under almost perfect sky conditions.  To the left of the image the … Continue reading

Rosette composite – final twiddles

Carried out some final (?) processing twiddles on the Rosette composite – think it’s just about there now 🙂

Playing with Registar to composite NFO data

Registar was used to align old Rosette and Monkey Head nebula data with that taken recently to form a composite image with even more data 🙂  Here are the results.

NGC752 or Caldwell 28 – a 2-billion year old open cluster in Andromeda

The 2-billion year old open cluster NGC752 in the constellation Andromeda – together with a whole bunch of faint fuzzies (galaxies) in the background.  North is up in this image.

The IC1831 region in Cassiopeia

I revisited and reprocessed this data to see if I could find any of the nebulosity reported in the Sky 6.  There is some, but it is pretty faint throughout the region – you can see the very edge of … Continue reading

A galaxy group in Bootes

I have no idea why I took this image of a galaxy group in Bootes on January 29th 2011.  I also have no record of it in the logbook.  I ran an astrometry check on it to find where it … Continue reading
