Noel has just processed a Sky 90/M25C image of an open cluster. We had already imaged the same cluster a couple of years earlier with the Hyperstar 1 and SXV-H9C. One very faint very red star of around magnitude 13 … Continue reading
Dean of Starizona is very much on the ball. He just informed me that the problem I had last night was probably due to me putting the cog on the FeatherTouch the wrong way round. I just went out to … Continue reading
Taken earlier this year, Noel has just finished processing one of the few single star images taken using the Sky 90/SXVF-M25C combination. This time it is the bright star Regulus. If you invert the image colours (to pick up the … Continue reading
Great news again! The Parker/Carboni double-team got their rendition of the Jellyfish Nebula region in this month’s Astronomy Now as Picture of the Month!! Thank you once again to Nik Szymanek for a very nice accompanying description.
Noel added the 3rd frame to the mega Markarian Chain mosaic and I converted it to a negative black and white image so you can clearly see all the faint fuzzies. I didn’t place M87 in the correct place in … Continue reading
Noel has just completed processing the 3rd frame in the Markarian Chain mosaic. This frame will be added to the previous 2-frames to give a panoramic view of the region containing not only the whole of Markarian’s Chain, but also … Continue reading
Noel is plugging away at old data in every spare minute he has whilst working on a big software project. He has created this superb image of the Cave nebula in Cepheus taken with the Sky 90/M25C combination. This image … Continue reading
Noel has just completed processing a widefield image of the region in which the quasar APM08279+5255 resides. The image is composed of 28 sub-exposures using an exposure time of 6-minutes per sub. This object used to hold the record as … Continue reading
Noel completed Star Vistas late last night, and this was the final image to be prepared for publication. This is IC443 the Jellyfish nebula, and IC444 is the large emission nebula (which also contains a reflection nebula and a very … Continue reading
Noel Carboni is putting the finishing touches to Star Vistas as this post goes out, and he created this deep-space masterpiece from a collection of old NFO data. The appropriately named Heart Nebula is a favourite target for Northern-Hemisphere amateur astroimagers.
