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.
I managed to get 10 x 4-minute subs on the Rosette nebula last night before the cloud rolled in (I think it all cleared again a couple of hours later). But I really can’t complain about this image when you … Continue reading
Here’s just the Hyperstar 4 data for the recent M31 image – only 16 subs at 3-minutes per sub. Now if only I can get the skies for 100 x 3-minute subs, this will start to look stonking. This version … Continue reading
I said I wouldn’t divulge the secret if the result was good. As the result wasn’t particularly good, I’ll tell you how it was done. The ultra-fast Hyperstar 4 at f#2 will blow the core of M42 (the Trapezium region) … Continue reading
Clear Moonless sub-zero night last night so I was expecting some great results from the Hyperstar 4. Managed to get 25 x 5-minute subs with good collimation, and the above image is the result. It’s terrible. Virtually no dust which … Continue reading
