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.
This pair of open clusters has a Milky Way backdrop and they are surrounded by faint emission nebulosity. They can be found in the constellation Cygnus lying just underneath the Crescent nebula region. Image taken 19th August 2009 using the … Continue reading
I have no idea why I took this image of a galaxy group in Bootes on January 29th 2011. I also have no record of it in the logbook. I ran an astrometry check on it to find where it … Continue reading
A double dataset was processed for this one. From 7th March 2011 27 subs at 10-minutes per sub, and from 13th March 36 subs at 5-minutes per sub. The odd shaped resulting image shows the overlap wasn’t too good between … Continue reading
I just processed this data from September 2nd 2010 to keep my hand in 🙂 This colourful cluster (which is rarely imaged) is Stock2 and it lies in the constellation Perseus – right next door to the Double Cluster – … Continue reading
