A starless version of the IC410/405 nebulae in Auriga taken on the Sky90 array with the M26C OSC CCDs. Tadpoles clearly visible, and the blue reflection nebulosity in the head of the Flaming Star nebula is very noticeable.
A reprocess of Hind’s Variable nebula in the constellation Taurus. Taken on the Sky90 array with M26C OSC CCDs and UV/IR cut filters. This image comprises 65 x 20-minute subs (or almost 22-hours of exposure time).
This is the second (and final) bit of ancient history that I’ll be looking at today. This time it is Merope (and Ally’s braid) again in the Pleiades, this time from 25/12/2005 (so it looks like I was out imaging … Continue reading
Sometimes it is good to delve into a bit of ancient history to see how things have developed (or not). This image of Alcyone (in the Pleiades) is from 20/11/2005. It was taken using an original Hyperstar (no collimation or … Continue reading
The famous Double Cluster in Perseus. This is taken with a Hyperstar III on a Celestron Nexstar 11 GPS with an SX M25C OSC CCD. The image comprises 57 x 2-minute subs.
M33 – The Triangulum galaxy. Only 38 x 4-minute subs on the Hyperstar 4 on a Celestron Nexstar 11 GPS with an ASI 2600MC Pro CMOS camera.
This is only 39 x 4-minute subs taken using the Hyperstar 4 on the Celestron Nexstar 11 GPS SCT with an ASI 2600MC Pro CMOS camera.
The famous Coma Cluster of galaxies, where in 1933 Fritz Zwicky first proposed the existence of Dark Matter.
I put the 200mm lenses (and Optolong L-enhance filters with the 2600MC Pro CMOS cameras) onto the Gamma Cassiopei nebula last night. Because of gremlins I only managed to get 10 x 20-minute subs when I should have had 42 … Continue reading
This is a 4-frame mosaic taken using the Sky90s and M26C OSC CCDs on the MiniWASP array. The image comprises 18 x 10-minute subs per frame.
