I just reprocessed some very old data. This is the bright star Caph in the constellation Cassiopeia. This is a 4-frame mosaic using the Hyperstar III and 90-second subs. Each frame is 44 subs at 90-seconds per sub.
Here is an image of the famous Coathanger Cluster. 72 x 5-minute subs using the Sky90 array and the M26C OSC CCDs.
A zoomed-out image of M31 taken on the Canon 200mm prime lenses and ASI 2600MC Pro CMOS cameras together with a zoomed-in image taken with the Hyperstar 4 on a C11 again with an ASI 2600 MC Pro CMOS camera.
Another clear night last night – totally unexpected as the satellite picture showed cloud all around me. Counting my blessings I went out and fired up the 200mm lenses and the ASI 2600MC Pro CMOS cameras. This is the right … Continue reading
Here is a zoom-in on the M31 image with a little more processing added.
Managed to get out imaging with the 200mm lenses until 1 a.m. even with an intrusive Moon. Decided I would go for M31 to get the whole thing in the frame. Managed 4-hours of 20-minute subs in the end and … Continue reading
I found some Hyperstar 4/M31 data from 2021-10-11 comprising 33 x 3-minute subs – so I added this to the 52 x 3-minute subs taken on 22-08-25 to get the result above. So now a total of 85 x 3-minute … Continue reading
I made a composite image out of 2 lots of data of the Markarian Chain region taken using the Hyperstar 4 on a C11 with an ASI 2600MC Pro CMOS camera. This composite gives a total imaging time of 4.7 … Continue reading
I dug out some very old (but very nice) data from a LONG time ago. This is an image of the Cygnus Wall taken with the original Hyperstar (no collimation or camera rotation adjusters) and a tiny little H9C OSC … Continue reading
Here is a composite image of M31 using all the C11/Hyperstar4/2600MC pro camera data I could find. this is around 6-8 hours of 3-minute subs.
