Deep-Sky Image of the Month for September 2015

Carbon star W Cassiopeiae
Only 9 x 10-minute subs from the Sky 90s and M26Cs went into this one – but as that is clearly enough – it has got me re-thinking how best to use the Mega-WASP array for my work.

One night before full Moon I managed to grab this with the 2 x 200mm and 2 x M26C OSC CCDs. 12 x 10-minute subs in all. Came out much better than I was expecting so I must go back … Continue reading
