Want a brand new copy of Star Vistas for around £8?Posted by Greg Parker in Star VistasTry Best Bargain Books (States) on Amazon. Look under “new” and you will find Star Vistas for around £6 with just over a couple of quid for postage from the States – amazing value for money. Looks like they limit you to only 5 books though as I put in an order for 10 and they automatically cut it back to 5. Never mind – just get all your friends and family to buy 5 as well for you I have seen a big jump in UK sales of Star Vistas over the last couple of days – absolutely no idea why. Maybe there’s been a review somewhere that I haven’t seen. Whatever the reason – enjoy!! Star Vistas is now below $7! Even with postage from the States, you can now get Star Vistas for less than half the U.K. Amazon price – extraordinary!

IC405 the Flaming Star nebula – reloadedPosted by Greg Parker in Sky 90 and SXVF-M25C, Star VistasNoel Carboni has just re-processed an earlier image of ours – IC405 & IC410, the Flaming Star nebula and companion in the constellation Auriga. Auriga is sitting overhead right now during our crisp winter evenings and it is in a perfect position for imaging the many clusters & nebulae that lie within. This image features in our Springer publication “Star Vistas” published Spring 2009.
The price has now shot back up to £29.23 with only a 19% saving over RRP. I have no idea what’s going on here.

Two new ones for 2010Posted by Greg Parker in Articles, Astronomy Now, News, Star VistasJust had two new publications for 2010 come through the post this morning – the Astronomy Now 2010 Yearbook & Patrick Moore’s 2010 Yearbook of Astronomy. Why? Because Noel & I managed to get an “Astronomy Now readers’ pictures of the year” with our February 2009 comet Lulin image and I wrote an article for Patrick’s 2010 Yearbook called “Hyperstar imaging at the New Forest Observatory” which includes Noel/Greg images both from the Hyperstar III and from the Sky 90/M25C. I would also like to thank Keith Cooper for including Star Vistas in the “Books of the Year” section of the Astronomy Now 2010 Yearbook – thank you Keith Well it was very nice to receive the above and get a little lift from this absolutely foul weather we’ve been suffering. Monsoons and gales means I haven’t taken an image for a very long time now – the last one was a frame for the Heart nebula – and that was on Sunday 25th October 2009 – and I still need to try and get two more frames for that one Has now gone back up to £21.69 and only a 40% saving on the RRP – told you it wouldn’t last
