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.
Noel Carboni just processed this earlier Hyperstar III data of the globular cluster M56 almost lost in a rich Milky Way background star field.
The same night I got the California nebula data with the mini-WASP array, I also got some earlier Double Cluster data with the array, and, some M33 deep data with the Hyperstar III. The Hyperstar was using 20-minute … Continue reading
Nice clear night (so far) tonight and I have both the mini-WASP array and the Hyperstar III grabbing data. Took one of two frames with the mini-WASP and then moved onto the California nebula for some half-hour subs (that’ll be … Continue reading
And here is an 8 x 5-minute test shot of the Ruchbah region taken with the TS 80. Hot pixels aplenty, but star quality as you can see very good considering the chip wasn’t even flat!
