4 hours of 10-minute subs from last year with the Sky 90 array. Akira Fujii effect.
Here is a 4-frame mosaic of the Kemble’s Cascade region taken with the Sky 90 array and M26C OSC CCDs. I have used the Akira Fujii effect to enhance the brighter stars. This actually means deliberately bloating the brighter stars … Continue reading

The Sky 90 array was set on this object to see if I could pick up the 3 quasars near this galaxy. No sign!! A day later I put the Hyperstar III on the same region but only got 4 … Continue reading
Got today’s EPOD with a groundbreaking image of a Dyson sphere construction around Polaris imaged in the early hours of this morning. Thank you Jim for continuing to publish my work 🙂 http://epod.usra.edu/blog/
A Sky90 image of the Rho Leonis region. Rho Leonis is a very blue star.
Here is a Sky 90 4-framer of the Merak region in Ursa Major. You can see the “broken engagement ring” the Owl nebula (M97) and M108 in this image.
As we are not creating scientific images here, but just “pretty pictures” we can do much as we want with the stars to give us what we think is the “prettiest” picture 🙂
