Even with a blazing Moon, clouds, and everything wanting to go wrong – I managed to get enough data last night for the Caph right hand frame. So the central star here is Caph in Cassiopeia, a 2-framer using the … Continue reading
Clear last night 19/01/2016 but with a blazing Moon, so this didn’t turn out too badly considering. A 2-frame mosaic using the Canon 200mm lenses and M26C OSC CCDs. Around 130-minutes of 10-minute subs per frame. Lots of open clusters, … Continue reading
A couple of clear hours after a day of rain allowed me to grab a quick 2-framer of the Aldebaran & Hyades region with the 200mm lens. 5-minute subs and an hour on each frame. Pleased just to be able … Continue reading

Managed to get 8 x 30-minute subs last night with the 2 x 200mm Canons and the M26Cs, and I added this to earlier 19 x 15-minute data from the same rig using Registar. This is the result. I think … Continue reading
Last night, for the first time since I put it together, I have been able to use the 2 x Canon 200mm lenses (and M26C Trius cameras) as intended. The whole idea with this rig was to get two horizontal … Continue reading
