Has actually been answered by Bertrand Russell. If you have seen my past ramblings on this subject then you will have read that I concluded that God would exist if the Absolute Infinite existed, and I left it there. I … 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

The stunning Iris nebula in a sea of dark nebulosity captured with the Hyperstar III on a C11 with an M25C OSC CCD. This image comprised 4-hours of 15-minute subs, where a 15-minute sub is the equivalent of a 75-minute … Continue reading
This is a 2-frame vertical mosaic of the Heart nebula taken with the Sky90/M26C OSC CCD combination on the MiniWASP array. Each frame would be in excess of 12-hours of 15-minute subs.
