Aldebaran and the Hyades with the 200mm lenses – a 2.5 frame mosaic.
I don’t know how many hours of data using the Sky90 array on the Pleiades (M45) star cluster. Probably in excess of 20-hours.
O.K. so as I am retired and have a bit of time on my hands – I am thinking of running an Astronomy Image of the Day from the New Forest Observatory web site. And yes the idea is to … Continue reading
Here’s my take on an important factor to consider, which I haven’t seen mentioned, in trying to answer the Fermi Paradox (if they are out there, then why haven’t we “seen” them?). First off, both civilisations need to be … Continue reading
This is an image of the whiteboard in my study. In the top left hand corner are 4 numbers taken to a LOT of decimal places. What are these numbers? A good mathematician should get 3, and exceptional mathematician should … Continue reading
Only 2 x 20-minute subs with the 200mm lenses – but it shows the way to proceed with this one. Obviously a 20-minute sub is way too long for M42, but just fine for the Horsehead region. So a fair … Continue reading
Thank you Jim for continuing to publish my work. This is EPOD number 120.
I managed to get 22 x 2-minute subs using the Canon 200mm prime lenses and the ASI 2600MC Pro OSC CMOS camera on beautiful Sirius last night. Given the bright Moon overhead I am very pleased at the final result. … Continue reading
I put together the 72 x 15-minute subs (UV/IR cut) and 30 x 20-minute subs (L-Enhance) taken on the 200mm lenses with the L-Enhance and UV/IR cut filters – and then took away all the stars to get this result.
I got another 8 x 20-minute subs last night (before we got completely fogged out) to go with the earlier 10 x 20-minute subs giving a 6-hour total exposure time. This is with the 2600MC Pro CMOS cameras and the … Continue reading
