The Veil nebula in Cygnus

This is a composite image comprising 8-hours of 20-minute subs taken last night on the Canon 200mm prime lenses, together with a 32-hour 2-framer taken on a single Sky90 including Ha and OIII narrowband data. It still needs a LOT … Continue reading

The Sadr Region of Cygnus

I had my first imaging session of the new season on the array last night using the 200mm lenses and the ASI 2600MC Pro CMOS cameras.   The bright star Sadr sits in the centre and it also sits with … Continue reading

From M42 to M78

Only 2 x 20-minute subs with the 200mm lenses – but it shows the way to proceed with this one. Obviously a 20-minute sub is way too long for M42, but just fine for the Horsehead region. So a fair … Continue reading

29-hours of IC410/IC405 Data

I put together the 72 x 15-minute subs (UV/IR cut) and 30 x 20-minute subs (L-Enhance) taken on the 200mm lenses with the L-Enhance and UV/IR cut filters – and then took away all the stars to get this result.

Rosette nebula with the 200mm Canon lenses

I got another 8 x 20-minute subs last night (before we got completely fogged out) to go with the earlier 10 x 20-minute subs giving a 6-hour total exposure time. This is with the 2600MC Pro CMOS cameras and the … Continue reading

Heart Nebula – Complete Reprocess

Just did a complete reprocess of the Heart nebula with star reduction as I felt I could do a better job on it. I think it is a marginal improvement over my last effort.

Yet Another Pleiades Reprocess

Once you bring Russ Croman’s Star XTerminator into your processing, there’s about a million different ways to go forward. Here’s yet another way.
