Last night was the most amazing beautiful clear night – and the Moon wasn’t too intrusive either (which is unusual on a clear night). After a little extra “tuning” I set the two mini-WASP cameras off imaging a region around … Continue reading
Noel Carboni has just processed all the recent Hyperstar III data to create this groundbreaking image of the region 🙂 Three hours of 10-minute subs, 1-hour of 1-minute subs and 1-hour of 50-second subs went into the creation of this … Continue reading
I just used Registar to add two earlier original Hyperstar M13 datasets to the very recent (2) datasets taken using the Hyperstar III. This is the result 🙂
I have wanted to image this object for years ever since I saw it in a picture. However, being a planetary nebula I always thought it would be far too small on the Hyperstar III rig to be interesting. As … Continue reading
Added another 61 x 50-second subs acquired last night (12/05/2012) to the earlier Hyperstar III dataset.
Noel Carboni compared two sets of M101 data taken using two different imaging systems (but the same imaging camera) at the New Forest Observatory. The top image shows in excess of 5-hours (total) data, probably nearer 8-hours, taken using the … Continue reading
This is literally a 10-minute process of some Hyperstar III data taken last night in parallel with me working on the mini-WASP array. 68 1-minute dithered subs with very poor collimation as I spent no time tuning up before imaging … Continue reading
This is the 5-hours of Hyperstar III data taken in February 2012 and processed by Noel Carboni. As you can see, Noel has managed to bring out some of the very faint fine detail in the outer arms of M101 … Continue reading
Noel Carboni added that recent Hyperstar III data to our earlier Sky 90/M25C one-shot colour and narrowband data to give this stunning result!
This is turning out to be quite an eventful day. The Carbon star image (below) will be on tonight’s late Meridian Weather forecast after the 10:00 p.m. news. As I left the observatory this morning after picking up last night’s … Continue reading
