This week features just about all the data I have on the Cygnus Wall region of the North America nebula. This includes Sky90 and Hyperstar III/IV data and must be well over 24 hours of total exposure time, possibly well … Continue reading
This week is a cropped 2-frame mosaic of the Sadr and Butterfly nebula region across to the Crescent nebula region in Cygnus. This will be around 8-hours exposure time per frame using the 200mm lenses and the 2100MC Pro CMOS … Continue reading
I had taken many hours of M13 data using just about every piece of kit I have (except the 200mm lenses) – but I had never checked it to see if I could find the “propeller”. So I checked my … Continue reading
I take a break from astrophotography this week to show instead a pinhole photograph of 6-months of solar travel across my southern horizon. This exposure is from Winter Solstice 2021 until SUmmer Solstice 2022.
This week we feature a 200mm lens/M26C OSC CCD 2-frame mosaic of the IC2087 region in the massive Taurus Molecular Cloud region. A total of in excess of 15 hours of exposure time went into this one, and as you … Continue reading
This week we feature a rarely imaged Coddington’s Nebula (which is in fact a spiral galaxy) in Ursa Major. Over 10-hours of total exposure time using the Sky90 array.
Over 15-hours on the California nebula using the Sky90 array and the M26C OSC CCDs.
This week’s “Picture of the Week” is another Carbon star, this time W Orionis in the constellation Orion. Also designated SAO112406 and HD32736 this image comprises 15 x 10-minute subs on the Sky90 array using the M26C OSC CCDs.
This week’s “Picture of the Week” features the Carbon star Y Tauri in the constellation Taurus. This is a single frame Sky90 array image using the M26C OSC CCDs.
Why Life Appeared Early and Only Once: A Discussion This document explores the paradox of life’s early appearance on Earth and the absence of new life forms over the last 4 billion years, with a focus on the panspermia hypothesis … Continue reading
