Yet another beautiful clear Moonless night last night – and best positioned for some deeeeep imaging was M45, the Pleiades. Managed to grab 18 x 40-minute (yes that IS 40-minute!!) subs and very quickly processed (leaving in the plane trails) … Continue reading
Hind’s Variable nebula, Struve’s Lost nebula, Burnham’s nebula, NGC1555 – they’re all the same thing and it is the orange thing in the centre of this image. A beautiful clear night last night allowed me to grab 41 x 20-minutes … Continue reading
Got 6 x 20-minute subs with the Canon 200mm lens which I added to some earlier Sky 90 data.
I managed to get a further 10 hours to add to the initial 7 hours taken using the Sky 90/M26C array – 20-minute sub-exposures. I don’t think that the additional 10-hours added much in the way of depth to this … Continue reading
Last night I got 7 hours of 20-minute subs on the NGC6914 region using the Sky 90 array. The result is shown here. As it is clear (and now Moonless) I am going for a bunch more 20-minute subs tonight … Continue reading
Here is the New Forest Observatory Image of the Month – last bit of data acquired only last night. This is a 2-framer of the Heart nebula region taken using the Sky 90 array and the M26C OSC CCDs. The … Continue reading
Last night I managed to get 10 x 10-minute subs using the Sky 90 array on the Cygni 32 region. Pretty amazed that I could see some nebulosity with so few (shallow) subs. Anyway – main point of the exercise … Continue reading
A while back I asked for submissions to run a deep-sky image of the week from this site. The response was not good. In which case I will post up a deep-sky image of the week from my own collection. … Continue reading
Having swapped out the Master Computer and mucked around a bit with Sky 90(1) I had some clear sky last night to take some test shots to see what needs fine tuning. This image is just 12 x 5-minute subs … Continue reading
Noel Carboni recently processed the 22-hours of data from the Sky 90 mini-WASP array. This data comprised 15 and 20-minute sub-exposures.
