The Coma galaxy cluster, Fritz Zwicky, and Dark Matter.
This is an original Hyperstar (no collimation or camera angle adjusters) and SX H9C OSC CCD image of the Coma cluster of galaxies. This galaxy cluster was made famous by Fritz Zwicky who studied the cluster, and by applying the … Continue reading

The Pelican nebula and the Cygnus Wall get the Registar treatment
Once again several different datasets have been combined using Registar and slightly processed to give these rather deep results.
The Running Man nebula – the full Monty
Managed to process the full width of this image which I didn’t think I’d manage to do when I started on this one earlier today.
Running Man – bigger crop
Managed to squeeze out a bigger crop which brought in the top of M42 at the bottom of the image.
The Running Man nebula in Orion – the complete dataset
I used Registar to add together all the data I had on the Running Man nebula in Orion. This amounted to well over 80 hours of total exposure time including some recent 5 x 1,000 second subs from the Hyperstar … Continue reading
Wide field image of M51, the Whirlpool galaxy in Canes Venatici
I used Registar to create this composite of Hyperstar I and Hyperstar III data taken of the Whirlpool galaxy, M51. Around 3 and a half hours of f#2 data taken with an 11″ SCT. Clearly worth getting even more data … Continue reading
Leo Trio – a bit brighter
The version below – but a little brighter 🙂 Looking at this image with fresh eyes this morning rather than towards midnight last night – it looked to dark overall, so brightened it up a bit.
Leo Trio composite using Registar
This is a composite image showing the Leo Trio region. Hyperstar III data taken on 21st March 2010 has been combined with older Hyperstar 1/H9C (2-frames) data from much earlier. The composite was created using the powerful registering program Registar.
Rosette nebula reprocess using Registar
The Rosette nebula reprocessed using the proper procedure in Registar.
The same final twiddles applied to the Registar composite of the Monkey Head nebula
The same final process twiddles carried out on the Registar composite image of the Monkey Head nebula 🙂
