Another great result for us – Sky at Night Magazine have included two images on this months CD ROM – both are single frame Hyperstar/SXV-H9C images:

  • Running Man
  • Alcyone region of the Pleiades

I particularly like the image of the Running Man, it shows how far we have come since taking our first images in November 2004.

This time you’ll find us on page 84 with an image of Messier 52 and The Bubble Nebula.

Both of the these were shot single frame using the Hyperstar and SXV-H9C.  Also, on the CD ROM you’ll find the two frame Hyperstar mosaic of M33 in Triangulum.

Astronomy Now Magazine are printing our picture of Messier 101 as a Messier challenge image, we are really happy with this image especially as it was incredibly cold when I was outside keeping an eye on the equipment!  The image is a single frame taken on the Hyperstar/SXV-H9C combination.

Sky at Night Magazine are publishing our Pelican 5-frame Hyperstar mosaic on page 84.  We are really pleased with how this image has turned out – it took a few attempts at processing before we were happy with the results.  All images were taken using the Hyperstar/SXV-H9C combination – the Pelican using 5-frames, the Cave and Double Cluster being single frames.

On the CD ROM you’ll also find 3 images:

  1. The Pelican region in colour
  2. The central region of the Double Cluster in Perseus
  3. The Cave Nebula.

The images are shown below for good measure :-)

We’ve obviously convinced Astronomy Now that our pictures are worth seeing – they are publishing our latest image of The Double Cluster in Perseus (central region) in the November issue on page 101.

This image was taken as a single Hyperstar frame using the SXV-H9C camera.

It gets better, Astronomy Now magazine have published our images of Messier 13 in colour and black&white on page 93 of the September issue.  These were entered for their Messier Challenge.

The images are a single Hyperstar frame using the SXV-H9C camera.

Starizona image of the Month – Awesome!  They picked our image of NGC7000 and the Pelican nebula which is a 5-frame Hyperstar mosaic.

Out of interest: Starizona manufacture and sell the Hyperstar lens assemblies for the Celestron Nexstar Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes.
