This week we feature a composite Arcturus image taken with the 200mm lenses and the 2600MC Pro CMOS cameras in April 2025 and April 2026. The 2 datasets are 24 x 5-minute subs (2025) and 18 x 250-second subs (19/04/2026). … Continue reading
I reprocessed all the recent 200mm lens data on this one and then cropped down to centre Arcturus whilst including Napoleon’s Hat (below-right of Arcturus).
We are in for a few weeks of astronomy images. This is a zoom in/zoom out image of NGC6914, a reflection nebula in Cygnus and the only bit of blue in a sea of red as I call it. The … Continue reading
Imaging the M44 (Beehive Cluster) with the 200mm lenses I came across this arachnid that had spun it’s web across the innermost stars of Cancer, perhaps hoping to catch some Bees.
I used all the Sky90 data and added to it the core data I took on the original Hyperstar with the little H9C OSC CCD. There was a noticeable improvement.
I just reprocessed the Corona Borealis 3-framer taken with the 200mm lenses and 2600MC Pro CMOS cameras. This data was collected in June 2024 under astronomical twilight.
Another high-speed-flash image taken at 1/100,000th of a second (10-microseconds). This is another double water-drop collision taking place under a soap bubble covering a drinking glass. The 10-microsecond light pulse (150-Joules in energy) was taken using 3 Xenon flashguns developed … Continue reading
Spent the whole of this morning up to 3:00 p.m. swapping out Sky90(3) for 200mm lens(3). The top image shows the imaging head of the array, whilst the image below shows how the array sits on the Paramount ME. For … Continue reading
First heard this guy on April 17th, 3 days earlier than usual.
It was clear again last night, but as the Moon was beginning to get more intrusive I only intended to work on the collimation of camera5 (200mm lens). However, after getting the best collimation I could, it felt a shame … Continue reading
