Taurus molecular clouds
Taken a couple of nights back, this is 10-hour’s worth of 20-minute subs centred on SAO67573 one frame to the right of IC2087 also taken with the Canon 200mm lenses and M26C OSC CCDs. At the top/centre there is … Continue reading

17 hours on the NGC6914 region in Cygnus
I managed to get a further 10 hours to add to the initial 7 hours taken using the Sky 90/M26C array – 20-minute sub-exposures. I don’t think that the additional 10-hours added much in the way of depth to this … Continue reading
