17 hours on the NGC6914 region in Cygnus
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

The NGC6914 region in Cygnus
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

Two Carbon stars near Cygni 32
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

Deep – Sky Image of the Week
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

Test shot on the Sky 90 array
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 process of the California nebula data
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.

The Caldwell 3 region in Draco
Beautiful clear Moonless night last night but we only get astronomical darkness starting around 11 p.m. so it’s a late start at this time of the year (and darkness ends around 3 p.m. so you don’t get many hours of … Continue reading

The Virgo/Coma galaxy supercluster
12 frames using the Hyperstar III and M25C camera with 2-hours of 10-minute subs per frame. Also a 200mm lens with M26C camera 2-framer using 15-minute subs and 5 hours per frame. So total integration time is 34 hours 🙂
