This is a composite image showing the Leo Trio region. Hyperstar III data taken on 21st March 2010 has been combined with older Hyperstar 1/H9C (2-frames) data from much earlier. The composite was created using the powerful registering program Registar.
Taken last night (2nd Feb 2012) in -3C temperatures with a blazing Moon overhead. Camera 1 on the mini-WASP, Dubhe, one of the two “pointer stars” in Ursa Major. A nice orange coloured star and another one for the “single … Continue reading
North is to the right in this Sky 90/M25C image comprising 33-subs at 590 seconds per sub. I went very deep with the Sky 90 for this one under almost perfect sky conditions. To the left of the image the … Continue reading
I have gone for one of my “single bright star” images for this Month’s “Image of the Month”. This Month’s object is the star Procyon or 10-Alpha Canis Minoris in the constellation Canis Minor. Procyon shines brightly in this region … Continue reading
A 4-frame Hyperstar III mosaic of the Gamma Cassiopeia region taken a long while ago.
The Rosette nebula reprocessed using the proper procedure in Registar.
I guess it must be obvious that the weather hasn’t been too good recently and there’s no new data to work on. So I revisited the Double Cluster and Stock 2 data taken using the Sky 90s and M26Cs on … Continue reading
A reprocess of the Sky 90/M26C data with North to the right – cropped to a smaller field of view.
Although this image probably only looks a little brighter – it also uses the proper (dual) dataset as well, so there’s a couple more hour’s worth of RGB data from the Hyperstar III in this one.
I actually spent a little while looking at the “Help” instructions that came with Registar in an attempt to see what it does and to hopefully apply it properly to mosaics. Why has it taken me so long to look … Continue reading
