Another image using the original Hyperstar and the little H9C one-shot colour camera. Pretty deep for just 2.5 hours total exposure time – shows the speed of the Hyperstar lens 🙂
I just came across a load of very old imaging files taken using the original Hyperstar (no collimation screws) and a tiny little H9C one-shot colour CCD (1.4 Megapixels from memory). Did a pretty good job all told, and this … Continue reading
Until the fog rolled in at 1:30 a.m. But gave me enough time with the Hyperstar III to get a better image of the supernova in M101 and also a quick look at the Double Cluster in Perseus. Also managed … Continue reading
We had an extremely rare clear and Moonless night last night – the stars were superb. Hard decision time – what do I do? Do I spend a great viewing evening on getting the Hyperstar III back up and running, … Continue reading
A darker background and the edge has been cropped 🙂
The 2-billion year old open cluster NGC752 in the constellation Andromeda – together with a whole bunch of faint fuzzies (galaxies) in the background. North is up in this image.
An H-alpha narrowband image of NGC7380 in Cepheus taken way back on October 11th 2008 – just found unprocessed on the HDD this morning 🙂
Vesta is in the news recently and here is a New Forest Observatory image of the asteroid Vesta making its way out of Leo near the bright star Algieba.
I revisited and reprocessed this data to see if I could find any of the nebulosity reported in the Sky 6. There is some, but it is pretty faint throughout the region – you can see the very edge of … Continue reading
The fireworks galaxy NGC6946 and open cluster NGC6939 in the constellation Cepheus. 23 sub-exposures at 5-minutes per sub using the Hyperstar III and M25C one-shot colour camera.
