Looking through this year’s captures I found one I hadn’t put up for viewing. This is Carbon star X Cancri taken on 15th February 2015.
I composited some 4-hours of Hyperstar III data and some 6-hours of Sky 90 data to give the following deep image of NGC281 – the Pac Man nebula.
A clear Moonless night last night so I put the mini-WASP array on Polaris. A total of 36 x 5-minute subs gave the result below which I’m pretty pleased with.
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 🙂
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
I had one hour last night to get a 2-framer of the Merak region before thick heavy cloud came over. As it was, many of these subs were taken through thin high cloud which put a great glow around Merak. … 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
A few posts below I gave a procedure on collimating your imaging camera to a Hyperstar III. On reflection I thought that this could be considered as so much “hot air” without results to prove the procedure actually works. So … Continue reading
Here is second light for the 3 x Sky 90 mini-WASP parallel imaging array. This is open cluster NGC7789 near Caph in Cassiopeia. The image is 18 x 15-minute subs or a total data time of 4 and a half … Continue reading
On the evening of the 27th October 2014 I spent the first two hours of darkness aligning the 3 Sky 90s to look at the same region of sky, and then focus training Sky 90(2) and Sky 90(3). After the … Continue reading
