The Rosette Nebula – A Work in Progress
Here are just 10 x 20-minute subs on the 200mm lenses, ASI 2600MC Pro OSC CMOS cameras and the Optolong L-Enhance filters. If I can get 30 or more subs on this one it should start looking quite nice.

Now 6-hours on the IC410/IC405 Region
Got a little more data on the IC410/IC405 region last night with the 200mm lenses, ASI 2600MC Pro CMOS cameras and the Optolong L-Enhace filters. I am now up to 18 x 20-minute subs. If I can get another 12 … Continue reading

The California nebula
Apart from being freezing cold – last night was also cloudless and Moonless. Managed to get 24 x 20-minute subs (8 hours) on the California nebula with the 200mm lenses, the ASI 2600MC Pro CMOS cameras, and of course the … Continue reading

Optolong L-Enhance Filter on the IC405/IC410 Region
This image is just 8 x 20-minute subs on the 200mm lenses with the ASI 2600MC Pro CMOS cameras AND the Optolong L-Enhance filters. There is more signal in the Spider’s Web region in these 8 x 20-minute subs than … Continue reading

Update on the Configuration of the Sky90 Array
Having proved the efficacy of the utterly superb Optolong L-Enhance filters on the 200mm lenses (with ASI 2600MC Pro CMOS cameras) – it was clearly time to fit the same thing to my Sky90s (with Trius M26C OSC CCDs). 2 … Continue reading

Additional Hyperstar 4 Data for the Rosette
I got 29 x 4-minute subs on the Hyperstar 4/ASI 2600MC Pro CMOS OSC CCD last night which I added to the 10 x 4-minute subs taken last year. This is the result. Not a huge improvement – but a … Continue reading

A Sharper Trapezium
As I have access to the original data, I was able to look through the 50 subs and then threw out 16 which had “blobby” stars. So here is the sharper result using only 34 of the original 50 x … Continue reading
