This week we look right into the bright core of the Orion nebula to see the famous Trapezium group of stars. For me this is a rare image as it is clearly not taken with a Hyperstar or a Sky90. … Continue reading
At the beginning of each month – starting with October 1st 2024 – there will be something new for you from the NFO. Make sure you log onto the NFO this October 1st to see what will be on offer.

Earlier I showed that not only can I offer astro-prints but also macros, micros, high-speed photography, landscape & Nature photography, and I completely forgot mathematical and fractal objects. I can offer prints of any mathematical object (that can be described … Continue reading
The Virgo/Coma cluster of galaxies in negative B&W for easier viewing. This is a combination of a 12-frame mosaic taken with the original Hyperstar and H9C OSC CCD, and a 2-frame mosaic using the 200mm lenses and M26C OSC CCDs. … Continue reading
But it isn’t quite as simple as that is it? The fact that our mathematics doesn’t allow for an Absolute Infinite doesn’t mean that there isn’t a God that transcends our feeble mathematics and is of Absolute Infinite extent! In … Continue reading

The aptly named Coathanger cluster. Around 6 hours of exposure time with a single Sky90 refractor and M25C OSC CCD.
The “Sword of Orion” region in the constellation Orion. This image comprises many hours with a single Sky90 refractor and M25C OSC CCD. In addition to the RGB data provided by the M25C, there were also several hours of infrared … Continue reading
Mu Cephei, the Garnet Star, many hours with the Sky90 array and the M26C OSC CCDs. Mu Cephei sits at the top of the huge emission nebula IC1396 which contains the dark nebula known as the “Elephant’s Trunk”. Although very … Continue reading
