One way of taking a high resolution zoom-in zoom-out of a deep-space image is to take the region concerned at 2 different focal lengths, or to take a single frame and then a mosaic of frames of the region. This … Continue reading
Got today’s EPOD with the 4-frame mosaic taken with the Canon 200mm lenses and Trius M26Cs – the whole of central Lyra. Thank you Jim at EPOD for continuing to publish my work. This is EPOD number 94.
Ramanujan said that “An equation means nothing to me unless it expresses a thought of God” I thought Ramanujan was thinking along the right lines, but maybe a little limited in his thinking. It came to me that maybe The … Continue reading

You will see in the images below that I have been beta-testing Noel Carboni’s new flattening tool for deep-sky images. This plug-in makes flattening even the most difficult image data a doddle (even I can get good results). If you … Continue reading
