Put the 5D MkII on the back of a TS80 refractor together with a 5X Barlow (not really called a Barlow then, but the name sticks). Took 17 subs at 1/200th second and ISO800 which I stacked in Maxim. This … Continue reading
Only 4 x 10-minute subs at ISO 800 from last night – but – I was amazed at how bright the blue-green parts of the Veil came out (and not at all surprised at the lack of red 🙁 ) … Continue reading
Managed to capture a few 5-minute subs of comet Jacques when it was close to Epsilon Cassiopeiae on the evening of 22nd August 2014.

Here is a Noel Carboni process of the recent Delphinus data taken from the New Forest Observatory.
The Canon 5D MkII/Canon 200mm prime lens combo gives a field of view that can grab the whole of the constellation Delphinus in one go! I started imaging around 11:15 p.m. on 02/08/2014 and finally packed up at 2:00 a.m. … Continue reading
Noel Carboni produced a stretched version of the Altair data to better show Barnard’s “E”.
Altair (centre), Tarazed (with Barnard’s “E”) top and Alshain (bottom) – the main stars in Aquila. Imaged using the Canon 5D MkII and the Canon 200mm prime lens at f#4. ISO 400, 4-minute subs, 24 subs in total – 22/07/2014. … Continue reading
Very interesting. Did a very quick and simple IQ test I found on the Internet (expecting it to be completely useless) and it came up with the same number from a “professional” test that took well over an hour. Obviously … Continue reading
We are it seems surrounded by trouble and strife. What I have written below came into my head almost complete – in one go. I don’t believe it came from God 🙂 But it might have 🙂 🙂 I live … Continue reading
