Carried out some final (?) processing twiddles on the Rosette composite – think it’s just about there now 🙂
Handled the old data slightly differently in this Registar composite reprocess.
Registar was used to align old Rosette and Monkey Head nebula data with that taken recently to form a composite image with even more data 🙂 Here are the results.
One of the reddest naked eye stars in the sky this is 119 Tauri in the constellation Taurus – and it has a nice companion blue star for some dramatic colour contrast. Taken on the clear Moonless evening of 16th … Continue reading
A beautiful clear Moonless night last night – absolutely perfect for deep-sky imaging. The Hyperstar III was on the case again, armed with PERFECT collimation! Here we have the Rosette nebula in Monoceros, 27 subs at 500 seconds per sub.
A reprocess and crop of the previous image.
Said I would go back to this one with the Hyperstar on a Moonless night to do it justice – and last night was the night. Managed to grab 32 subs at 5-minutes per sub before it clouded over around … Continue reading
Bellatrix in Orion taken with the Hypserstar III on Friday 13th January 2012 using 32 subs at 45-seconds per sub.
Saiph taken with the Hyperstar III on Friday 13th January 2012. 59 subs at 30 seconds per sub. Can even see little PGC147980 at 7 O’clock on one of the bright stars near the bottom – mag 30!
Taken on the evening of Friday 13th January 2012 (living up to its reputation just about EVERYTHING went wrong this night) we have the NGC2174 region in Gemini known as the Monkey Head nebula. I have North down in this … Continue reading
