Managed to get some good data on this open cluster in Cassiopeia – and please sit down – actually processed this one myself 🙂 A very nice region in Cassiopeia with two other open clusters also in the field of … Continue reading
Noel has just added some more data I recently took of the Iris nebula to our original image. Second data set added 15 x 15-minute subs to the original 3 hours and 45 minutes worth of 200 second subs – … Continue reading

Unbelievably I managed to get some imaging done on the night of Thursday December 10th 2009 – the last image I took was on October 25th 2009! Got 4-hours worth of 4-minute subs on the nice little open cluster in … Continue reading
