This is a composite Sky90/M25C and Hyperstar 4/2600MC-Pro image of the Markarian Chain region. The Sky90/M25C data is 8-hours in total, and the Hyperstar 4/2600MC-Pro data is 32 x 4-minute subs taken last night. There’s 2 asteroids in the image … Continue reading
Got out for some Hyperstar 4 imaging last night, started at 11 p.m. and wound up at 2 a.m. Managed to get 32 x 4-minute subs on the Markarian Chain region under damp, poor visibility skies.
Last night I got 12 x 5-minute subs on the Leo Trio using the Hyperstar 4 and ASI 2600MC-Pro CMOS camera. I added this data to previous HS4 & HSIII data and the above is the result. Pretty disappointing not … Continue reading
Managed to get 28 x 150-second subs on M44 last night using the Hyperstar 4 and ASI2600MC-Pro CMOS camera. Collimation was pretty good during this run.
This is a composite image of the Leo Trio using old HS3 data and very recent HS4 data. Still not showing the tidal tail so plenty more work needs to be done on this one.
Here is a composite image of M78 and the edge of Barnard’s Loop (off to the left). This is old Sky90 data combined with very recent Hyperstar4 data.
What do you make of this? 3 x 3-minute subs taken on the Hyperstar last night – the light is moving from bottom left to top right. The first sub was taken at 23:21. The gap between subs is a … Continue reading
Well tonight will be the second clear Moonless night in a row – almost completely unknown! I am imaging M78 with the Hyperstar 4 with good collimation – but I don’t have long before it disappears behind the trees.
Only managed to get 8 x 5-minute subs of M78 with the Hyperstar 4 through thin high cloud before the heavy cloud rolled in. Noel Carboni was still able to pull out some nice detail even though there is only … Continue reading
And here is a professional process of the Rosette data by my friend and astro-colleague, Noel Carboni.
