Carbon star W Cassiopeiae

Only 9 x 10-minute subs from the Sky 90s and M26Cs went into this one – but as that is clearly enough – it has got me re-thinking how best to use the Mega-WASP array for my work.

Epsilon Cassiopeiae region

Used the 3 x Sky 90s and M26Cs on the Mega-WASP array to image the Epsilon Cassiopeiae region together with Greg’s Lambda.  Clear Moonless evening 🙂

The megaWASP array does Arcturus

A couple of nights ago with a full Moon I took some Arcturus data with the 3 x Sky 90s. I combined the recent data with some taken a while back and came up with this result 🙂

NGC1333 reloaded

I was looking through some old data yesterday and NGC1333 (Hyperstar III data) stood out as worth taking a second look at. So I reprocessed the data and came up with the (slight improvement) below 🙂

La Superba from 22/03/2015

I managed to get 4-hours worth of 10-minute subs on La Superba last night using the mini-WASP array.  I composited this with around another 4-hours of data from a Sky 90/M25C combo – so around 8-hours in total using 10-minutes … Continue reading

Last night I managed to get another 11 x 20-minute subs on this region to go with the 7 x 20-minute subs I got a few days ago.  This shows Coddington’s nebula – which is actually an irregular galaxy – … Continue reading
