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
I have wanted to image this object for years ever since I saw it in a picture. However, being a planetary nebula I always thought it would be far too small on the Hyperstar III rig to be interesting. As … Continue reading
Thank you Jim for publishing the New Forest Observatory’s “Virgo/Coma mega-mosaic” as today’s Earth Science Picture of the Day.
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
Added another 61 x 50-second subs acquired last night (12/05/2012) to the earlier Hyperstar III dataset.
Along with some very nice SuperMoon images – my two “Little Planet” images made an appearance on Simon Parkin’s Meridian weather slot – Tuesday 8th May 6:20 p.m. Video footage Copyright Meridian News & Weather.
Noel Carboni compared two sets of M101 data taken using two different imaging systems (but the same imaging camera) at the New Forest Observatory. The top image shows in excess of 5-hours (total) data, probably nearer 8-hours, taken using the … Continue reading
Except of course when the Full Moon is a Super-Moon or Mega-Moon as it was this morning – then you get wall to wall cloud for 24-hours.
This is literally a 10-minute process of some Hyperstar III data taken last night in parallel with me working on the mini-WASP array. 68 1-minute dithered subs with very poor collimation as I spent no time tuning up before imaging … Continue reading
