Blazing Moon last night so I spent a little time getting a good focus on the 200mm lens and then imaged both the Zosma region (with the Leo II dwarf galaxy) and the Virgo/Coma galaxy cluster region. This was done … Continue reading
With the 200mm/M26C Trius combo in portrait mode I managed to grab 10 x 4-minutes of the Castor/Pollux region after 3-hours of setting up (focus mainly) in the freezing cold. The chip turned out to be not flat for this … Continue reading
This is not only the worst comet image I have ever posted – it is also the worst image I have ever posted. Still last night was a clear night – even if there was a blazing Moon up – … Continue reading
I am in the final stages of setting up a new imaging system based on a Canon 200mm prime lens with M25C OSC imager and a 52 mm IDAS filter on the front of the lens giving me f#3.85 and … 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
Last night was one of those very rare nights. Completely clear, Moonless, and the Milky Way like I’ve never seen it before from here – magic. Put the 200mm lens and M26C onto Kemble’s Cascade. 31 subs at 5-minutes per … Continue reading
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”.
