The Running Man nebula – the full Monty
Managed to process the full width of this image which I didn’t think I’d manage to do when I started on this one earlier today.

The version below – but a little brighter 🙂 Looking at this image with fresh eyes this morning rather than towards midnight last night – it looked to dark overall, so brightened it up a bit.
Leo Trio composite using Registar
This is a composite image showing the Leo Trio region. Hyperstar III data taken on 21st March 2010 has been combined with older Hyperstar 1/H9C (2-frames) data from much earlier. The composite was created using the powerful registering program Registar.
IC 1831 region in Cassiopeia – Milky Way star field
North is to the right in this Sky 90/M25C image comprising 33-subs at 590 seconds per sub. I went very deep with the Sky 90 for this one under almost perfect sky conditions. To the left of the image the … Continue reading
