Images taken with the 10-Megapixel Starlight Xpress M26C one-shot colour CCD and the Sky 90 refractor.

Composite California Nebula

I added 16-hours of Sky90 data (which added to the bright nebula core) to the 8-hours of 200mm data (which provided the only data for the faint “nose”) to get this result.

Update on the Configuration of the Sky90 Array

Having proved the efficacy of the utterly superb Optolong L-Enhance filters on the 200mm lenses (with ASI 2600MC Pro CMOS cameras) – it was clearly time to fit the same thing to my Sky90s (with Trius M26C OSC CCDs). 2 … Continue reading

Star Reduced California Nebula

Star reduction does a nice job on the California nebula – image taken using 3 x Sky90s and 3 x M26C OSC CCDs (non-Trius). About 16-hours of 15-minute subs (I think without looking it up).

Composite IC410/IC405 using Sky90 and 200mm lens data

This is a composite image of the IC410/IC405 region using Sky90 data (34 x 20-minutes) and 200mm lens data (76 x 15-minutes). A pretty mediocre looking image seeing as there’s 29-hours worth of data in there.

Star reduced IC410/IC405

My free trial of Russ Croman’s StarXTerminator ran out, so I just bought the full licence. In celebration I ran it on an old Sky90/SX M26C image of IC410/IC405 which was 34 subs at 20-minutes per sub. In this version … Continue reading
