This is a composite image combining the recent 8 x 20-minute subs from the Hyperstar III with earlier Sky 90/M25C which incorporated H-alpha and OIII narrowband data.
Taken with the HSIII on 04/07/2013 this is an S-type star, SAO 69360 in Cygnus.
There was a fair bit of thin high cloud wandering over last night (as it turned out it didn’t get in the way of Cygnus) and so I only set up the Hyperstar III and didn’t run the mini-WASP array. … Continue reading
So I’m spending a couple of hours imaging in Cygnus with both the mini-WASP array and the Hyperstar III 🙂
For the second test of the newly aligned M25C camera on the Hyperstar III I chose the Stephenson 1 region of Lyra. Although I didn’t have the optics spot-on they were pretty close and I’m quite pleased with the resulting … Continue reading
Recently imaged M57 as a test-shot for the recently flattened M25C chip. This is 14 x 5-minute subs with a blazing nearly full Moon overhead. Looks pretty reasonable considering 🙂
The Hyperstar III is so fast that all other amateur imaging systems are extremely slow and have very disappointing performance in comparison – and that includes the mini-WASP array as currently configured.
Bit embarrassed to say that I am still learning how to use the Hyperstar III. Rather humbling when I thought I knew all there was to know about getting the best out of the Hyperstar. I had done a few … Continue reading
Noel Carboni combined the Hyperstar III and mini-WASP data for this image.
The famous Double Cluster in Perseus.
