On a "good" night I can see all the stars in Ursa Minor, on a poor night I can only make out Polaris. Most nights it lies somewhere in between the two. Greg My sky is not particularly dark.

]]> Comment on The Belt region of Orion as never seen by the naked eye by Greg Parker http://www.newforestobservatory.com/2008/11/13/the-belt-region-of-orion-as-never-seen-by-the-naked-eye/#comment-371 Greg Parker Tue, 23 Dec 2008 13:02:44 +0000 http://www.newforestobservatory.com/?p=302#comment-371 Glad you like the image Tahir. As far as I'm concerned I think this is the best image the Parker/Carboni team have created so far. If I ever see clear skies this Winter, the idea is to get the other 5-frames necessary to add on the M42 region to the this Belt/Horsehead image. This would make a truly stunning high resolution image of the whole of central Orion (and a fantastic 24" x 48" poster). Greg Glad you like the image Tahir.

That's where the Hyperstar III comes in at 6 times the speed of an f#4.5 system. So I should be able to get something very nice with 4-hours (not this week though by the looks of it :( Yep you’re right on the total exposure times!
