Noel Carboni has just processed this data from a few days back. Almost perfect imaging conditions that night and Noel had requested a Sky 90 image of Mizar and Alcor in Ursa Major – so that’s what I did 🙂
Today I removed the Sky 90 from the C11 and replaced it with a little Celestron refractor that I use as a guide scope. The Hyperstar III has once again been fitted to the C11 for some phenomenally fast (f#2) … Continue reading
Noel recently processed this Chara data taken at the New Forest Observatory. Chara, or Beta Canum Venaticorum goes with Cor Coroli or Alpha Canum Venaticorum as the pair of stars that make the constellation Canes Venatici – the hunting dogs. … Continue reading
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
