Another fine Horsehead image from another PAIG lady – this time it’s the return of Anna Morris (who shared her amazing NGC7000 region mega-mosaic with us a few weeks ago). Very nicely processed image Anna – and what can I … Continue reading
A Hyperstar III 2-framer of the Markarian Chain/M87 region in the Virgo galaxy cluster.
This is a single frame Hyperstar III image of the M100 region taken in April 2010. Again presented in colour and in B&W so you can see the numerous “faint fuzzies” in the background.
The second of 7 frames of data processed in colour and B&W. This one is centred on M87.
Frame 1 of 7 taken with the Hyperstar III processed and ready to be made into a mega-mosaic of the Virgo/Coma galaxy region. Over 16 hours of Hyperstar III data taken between 7th April 2010 and 17th April 2010 found … Continue reading
I just found some old unprocessed Hyperstar III data from 17th April 2010 and got on and processed it this afternoon 🙂 This is the Markarian Chain of galaxies in Virgo, and everything that is not obviously a star is … Continue reading
Negative B&W images of deep-sky scenes are great for picking up all those background “faint fuzzies”.
As mentioned below, last night I focus trained and collimated the rebuilt Hyperstar III system on the C11. This image is the result of 10 x 5-minute subs taken with a bright Moon playing havoc as well as thin high wall-to-wall … Continue reading
There is a bright Moon overhead and tons of thin high cloud – no good for imaging but perfect for getting the Hyperstar tuned up again 🙂 Managed to focus train and collimate the Hyperstar to better than ever before … Continue reading
A reprocess taking the ugly spikes off the Double Cluster itself!
