I like contrasting red/blue star pairings. In this instance we show the beautiful Algol and Rho Persei in the constellation Perseus. Image taken using the Sky90 array with M26C OSC CCDs.
Never seen this before in 21 years of imaging! Right across the middle you can see a tumbling piece of space junk – North is to the right. This is in the Meissa nebulosity (North of Orion) which is why … Continue reading
Picture of the Week this week features a Canon 5D MkII DSLR shot of Jupiter, Venus and Mercury taken over the New Forest.
This week’s Picture of the Week features bright star Denebola – the head of the Lion – taken with the Hyperstar 4 and the 2600MC Pro CMOS camera.
Picture of the week for the beginning of August 2025 shows the 12 brightest stars that I can image from my south of England location.
This week we feature the only bit of blue in a sea of red which is the reflection nebula NGC6914 in Cygnus. This is a composite image including Sky90 + tiny little H9C data which only imaged the NGC6914 region … Continue reading
This week features just about all the data I have on the Cygnus Wall region of the North America nebula. This includes Sky90 and Hyperstar III/IV data and must be well over 24 hours of total exposure time, possibly well … Continue reading
This week is a cropped 2-frame mosaic of the Sadr and Butterfly nebula region across to the Crescent nebula region in Cygnus. This will be around 8-hours exposure time per frame using the 200mm lenses and the 2100MC Pro CMOS … Continue reading

I take a break from astrophotography this week to show instead a pinhole photograph of 6-months of solar travel across my southern horizon. This exposure is from Winter Solstice 2021 until SUmmer Solstice 2022.
