Here is the lower-left hand panel for the on-going Virgo/Coma galaxies mega-mosaic image. Want to hear some pain? The Siamese-Twins at the bottom of the image fall off the bottom of the rest of the mosaic by a fraction 🙁 … Continue reading
This is my second attempt at a comet Garradd animation – this time without dithering between subs 🙂 The “jumps” in comet motion are due to lost subs.
This is last night’s Sky-Watcher data (2-hours) composited with the earlier Sky 90 data (11 and a half hours) – so 13 and a half hours total into this one so far 🙂
I learnt a number of new tricks putting together the recent comet Garradd animation so I applied them to the old comet Lulin data – big improvement! http://www.flickr.com/photos/12801949@N02/6794918782/ The reason the comet’s tail disappears after the satellite crosses the screen … Continue reading
One thing you should note – it is not the World’s greatest idea to dither your “stills” if you later want to use the data to create an animation. I will try to do better next time 🙂 You can … Continue reading
Beautiful clear evening all night last night but I packed up at 2:30 in the morning after starting at 7:45 p.m. the evening before. This time the target was comet Garradd moving below Ursa Major and above Draco. I wasted … Continue reading
The Hyperstar III only data from last weekend without the lower resolution Sky 90 (Cone nebula) data added. I now really want to get some frames off the top to see more of that fascinating dark nebulosity 🙂
We had two perfect imaging evenings on Sat 18th Feb and Sunday 19th Feb – utterly superb. I took M101 data on both nights, 3 hours of 5-minute subs the first night and 2 hours of 10-minute subs the second … Continue reading
This is the full frame of Hyperstar III data taken last night (the 2010 dataset is not included).
A most fantastic evening’s imaging last night – 5 and a half hours of data on two objects. The first was in Monoceros (next door to Orion) where I captured this fascinating, and very busy region around IC 2169. We … Continue reading
