The Virgo/Coma galaxy cluster featuring Markarian’s Chain
A slightly more careful processing of the earlier data. At least 4 asteroids in there and North is to the right 🙂

The Virgo/Coma galaxy cluster including Markarian’s Chain
I found a couple more frames lurking in the archive, as well as realising that I’d lost a few with M89, M90, M91 🙁 I will have to retake those again. This massive field of view is precisely what I … Continue reading

I took 78 x 4-minute subs of comet Lulin on 28th February 2009 and created a deep-sky image of the object back then. But it has taken me until 10th February 2012 to edit all the individual subs into a … Continue reading

The Running Man nebula – the full Monty
Managed to process the full width of this image which I didn’t think I’d manage to do when I started on this one earlier today.
