This is data from 10th November 2010 and this time I have used all the 54 sub-exposures (4-minutes per sub) by treating the raw data slightly differently. If I simply colour convert the 16-bit FITS files, then some come out … Continue reading
Some more old data off the hard drive – this time from 3rd March 2011 – 47 sub-exposures at 5-minutes per sub using the Sky90 and M25C combo. NGC7788 and NGC7790 a pair of open clusters in Cassiopeia – North … Continue reading
Rainy day so I looked up an old piece of data to process – this one from March 2011 just came to hand. O.K. fairly boring star field – why on Earth did he bother with this one? It’s only … Continue reading
Noel Carboni has just processed this data from a few days back. Almost perfect imaging conditions that night and Noel had requested a Sky 90 image of Mizar and Alcor in Ursa Major – so that’s what I did 🙂
Noel recently processed this Chara data taken at the New Forest Observatory. Chara, or Beta Canum Venaticorum goes with Cor Coroli or Alpha Canum Venaticorum as the pair of stars that make the constellation Canes Venatici – the hunting dogs. … Continue reading
How many stars can you see when you look in the region under the handle of The Plough/Big Dipper? Chances are only one shows up – this one – Cor Caroli in the constellation Canes Venatici. In this image North … Continue reading
Noel Carboni has just finished processing this wide-field deep-sky image from a few days back. This is the Whale & Hockey stick region in Coma Berenices and you can also see “The Mice” lower far left. Shows that I don’t … Continue reading
Noel has just finished processing the recent Leo Trio data and added in some very old Hyperstar 1 data (taken on an H9C!) from way back. Needless to say, Noel’s process is far better than my feeble effort and you … Continue reading
Unexpectedly clear night last night so I managed to grab 3 and a half hours worth of 200 second subs on the M53 region with the Sky 90/M25C. There’s a pile of faint fuzzies in the background of this average … Continue reading
Managed to grab 4-hours of data last night on the Leo Trio region with the bright star Chertan (Theta Leonis) in the field of view. This is a very quick and nasty process by yours truly – Noel will do … Continue reading
