O.K. so there appears to be some more Idiocracy-based garbage that needs to be put to bed. Killer planet Nibiru – it ain’t there people, sorry but your quick life cop-out isn’t just around the corner – not with non-existent … Continue reading
With a half Moon up and very poor seeing I grabbed 4 x 15-minute subs as a test-shot using the 200mm lens and a 52mm IDAS filter on the front. Only a very quick process so I left in the … Continue reading

After a long imaging session on IC410/IC405 I didn’t want to leave the clear skies unused, so I shot across to the Rosette nebula and took just 4 x 20-minute test subs. Seeing the result I know what the next … Continue reading

A few nights ago I put the 3 x Sky 90s back on the California nebula for a total of 21 x 20-minute subs. I had already captured 33 x 20-minute subs, so I had a grand total of 18 … Continue reading

On the night of 13/12/2014 – and it was Moonless too! Being the array it meant I actually grabbed 15-hours worth of data!! Two targets, the first was the California nebula where I managed to get 11 effective hours of … Continue reading
