Noel Carboni has just processed all the recent Hyperstar III data to create this groundbreaking image of the region 🙂 Three hours of 10-minute subs, 1-hour of 1-minute subs and 1-hour of 50-second subs went into the creation of this … Continue reading
Managed to polar align the mini-WASP array last night, while in parallel I was taking some LONG subs with the HSIII on M13 going for the faint stuff. Now it really is just a few odds and ends to fine … Continue reading

There will be an annular solar eclipse on May 20th (tomorrow!) – YAY!!!!!!!! 🙂 🙂 Unfortunately, for people in the U.K. it begins after Sunset – Boooh!!!! 🙁 🙁
I just used Registar to add two earlier original Hyperstar M13 datasets to the very recent (2) datasets taken using the Hyperstar III. This is the result 🙂
Testing out the re-collimated Sky 90s I took an image of the Vega region using both scopes and cameras. This is a Registar combine of both sets of data. There is some field rotation in all 4 corners of the … Continue reading

After a great deal of grief and pain I have worked out how to collimate the mini-WASP Sky 90s and they are now both sorted 🙂 Fourth clear night in a row, and no Moon, so I am imaging the … Continue reading
