Noel has just completed processing the 5 & 10-minute subs (probably around 8 hours worth in total) taken on the Hyperstar III of the Beehive Cluster – M44 – in the constellation Cancer. At this time of the year we … Continue reading
Another clear night last night – and with the success of capturing a couple of asteroids the night before (1079 Mimosa and 2833 Radishchev I think, courtesy the Sky 6) – I went back to M44 and asteroid central once … Continue reading
Nice clear night last night and managed to get 3-hours worth of 4-minute subs on M44 with the Hyperstar III. Bagged a couple of asteroids (I think M44 is asteroid central as it sits just about on top of the … Continue reading
Pulled up EPOD (Earth Science Picture of the Day) a couple of minutes ago and unexpectedly found the NFO image of NGC1333 looking back at me. It really is a stunning region of space and the eerie-looking dust clouds gives … Continue reading
Lovely clear night last night, and perfect for trying to capture the asteroid Vesta now leaving the head of Leo. 46 subs at 200-seconds per sub with the C11 and Hyperstar III – image captured and processed by Greg Parker at … Continue reading
If it stays clear for long enough, and I’m imaging in the right place – then tomorrow sometime I should be posting up an image of the asteroid Vesta which is passing the star Algieba in the constellation Leo right … Continue reading
Several clear nights in a row recently and I concentrated on just one beautiful region – IC2169 and surroundings in Monoceros. This reflection nebula lies just to the right of the cone nebula, in fact the red emission nebulosity over … Continue reading
Another 4 hours of data was acquired on this object and Noel put the whole thing together which now totals some 9 hours of imaging time. Beautiful reflection nebula NGC1333 and the accompanying dust clouds lie in the constellation Perseus. … Continue reading
Noel recently processed the Caldwell 10 dataset and managed to pull out that faint red cluster (IC116) over at the top left. There are in fact a total of 7 (yes – seven) open clusters in this frame.
Another recent capture from the New Forest Observatory processed by Noel Carboni (I don’t “do” globulars 🙂 Here is a nice wide field view of globular cluster M15 in the constellation Pegasus caught using the Hyperstar III and SXVF-M25C one-shot … Continue reading
