Another clear night last night, so I moved a bit downwards in the Virgo cluster to get the M87 region. No sign of the jet as far as I can see with 14 x 5-minute subs.
Beautiful clear night last night, and a non-intrusive Moon for imaging in the Leo region. 12 x 5-minutes subs on the M100 region and the speed of the Hyperstar really shows through. Need more data on this for a quality … Continue reading
Today (19/03/2018) saw the publication of EPOD number 99 for me. A big 2-frame panorama of the Bellatrix region with a large galaxy cluster on the right hand side of the frame. Look out for EPOD number 100 next month.
Clear until 9:00 p.m. last night with a very intrusive Moon. Saw that Ceres was well-placed in Cancer so put the Sky 90 array on the region. Ended up with 18 x 15-minute subs. Can even see Ceres in the … Continue reading

From last night, lovely blue Gomeisa or Beta Canis Majoris. 36 x 10-minute subs on the Sky 90 array – and yes the averaged data shows a very nice asteroid near the centre of the image. Doesn’t look like we … Continue reading

Beautiful clear Moonless sky last night – hard to know where to point the telescopes. Decided on the Bubble nebula region and the 2 x Canon 200mm prime lenses together with the 2 x Trius M26C OSC CCDs. “Claws” is … Continue reading
Managed to get some imaging in 2 nights ago (Jan 18th 2018) and got 30 x 10-minute subs on 8 Flora, middle of run at 21:32. You can see to the right and a little bit down from Flora there … Continue reading
