There is a 4-page article in the February 2015 issue of Astronomy Now on the mini-WASP array at the New Forest Observatory. To save trawling through the last 2 years of development on this site, buy the Feb 2015 issue … Continue reading
Got today’s EPOD with the recent Lunar Halo image 🙂 http://epod.usra.edu/ Thank you Jim at EPOD for continuing to publish my work.
Taken on the evening of 16/01/2015 using the mini-WASP array and 2-minute subs (around 90 in total). Not very impressive and I won’t spend any more valuable imaging time on this one. I was lulled into a false sense of … Continue reading
Managed to get 12 x 20-minute subs on this one before total cloud cover last night – nice Moonless conditions – but a ton of water vapour in the air (seen using the standard torch test). Glad I got something … Continue reading

6 x 20-minute subs on the Canon 200mm lens composited with some earlier Sky 90 data on the Rosette alone.
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
