As I have access to the original data, I was able to look through the 50 subs and then threw out 16 which had “blobby” stars. So here is the sharper result using only 34 of the original 50 x … Continue reading
Well this is quite extraordinary. I discovered a huge pile of DVDs last week and I just spent a few days downloading them all onto an HDD. The data was all very old (mostly around 2005) and is all taken … Continue reading
This is a composite image of the IC410/IC405 region taken using a Sky90 refractor with an M25C OSC CCD and a pair of Canon 200mm prime lenses with ASI 2600MC Pro OSC CMOS cameras. The Sky90 data was 5-hours and … Continue reading
This image is a composite of Sky90 and Hyperstar 4 data only.
This is the central region of the Rosette nebula. This is a composite image created using RegiStar and comprises original Hyperstar, Sky90 and Hyperstar 4 data exceeding 15-hours of total exposure time.
This is the original Parker/Carboni Heart nebula taken with a single Sky90 and M25C OSC CCD after star reduction has been applied.
Well this is very interesting! Applying star reduction to the original Parker/Carboni M31 image, taken with a single Sky90 and M25C OSC CCD – brings out all the blue (hot young stars) which was not visible with all the stars … Continue reading
Nice clear night last night and I managed to grab 20 x 10-minute subs with the Canon 200mm prime lenses and the ASI 2600MC Pro CMOS cameras on the Sadr region. A bit perverse imaging Cygnus at the end of … Continue reading
A bit of star reduction on the wide field Sadr region works wonders.
Another oldie that benefits greatly from a bit of star reduction.
