How many stars can you see when you look in the region under the handle of The Plough/Big Dipper? Chances are only one shows up – this one – Cor Caroli in the constellation Canes Venatici. In this image North … Continue reading
Noel Carboni has just finished processing this wide-field deep-sky image from a few days back. This is the Whale & Hockey stick region in Coma Berenices and you can also see “The Mice” lower far left. Shows that I don’t … Continue reading
Noel has just finished processing the recent Leo Trio data and added in some very old Hyperstar 1 data (taken on an H9C!) from way back. Needless to say, Noel’s process is far better than my feeble effort and you … Continue reading
Unexpectedly clear night last night so I managed to grab 3 and a half hours worth of 200 second subs on the M53 region with the Sky 90/M25C. There’s a pile of faint fuzzies in the background of this average … Continue reading
Managed to grab 4-hours of data last night on the Leo Trio region with the bright star Chertan (Theta Leonis) in the field of view. This is a very quick and nasty process by yours truly – Noel will do … Continue reading
I imaged this object last night and Noel Carboni processed it today. Three and a half hours exposure time using 10-minute subs on the M105 region in Leo. Apart from the 3 Messier objects, there are quite a lot of … Continue reading
Unbelievably it was clear last night – and no annoying Moon to contend with either! But what to image? I have the H-alpha filter in at the moment so I went for the faint supernova remnant in Cassiopeia – CTB1. … Continue reading
Noel has recently processed just about the only image I’ve taken since the beginning of November 2010 – astronomy-wise, this is the worst spell of weather we’ve had since I started imaging in the Winter of 2004!! I was hoping that … Continue reading
As you will know we had a rare beautifully clear Moonless night last night – time for some serious imaging! I had planned to grab IC1831, a ball of stars very close to the Heart nebula, quite some while back. … Continue reading
Well – it’s been a very long wait for a clear sky – but tonight in Brockenhurst I’ve struck lucky with the weather. Absolutely freezing outside, but crystal clear dark (Moonless) sky outside and managed to get started imaging at … Continue reading
