I actually spent a little while looking at the “Help” instructions that came with Registar in an attempt to see what it does and to hopefully apply it properly to mosaics. Why has it taken me so long to look … Continue reading
Managed to get 2 hours of 10-minute subs using the Hyperstar III on 26/01/2012. In fact I got 4 hours worth of subs but didn’t realise the bottom of the image was being clipped by the trees over the back, … Continue reading
The same final process twiddles carried out on the Registar composite image of the Monkey Head nebula 🙂
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
