17 hours on the NGC6914 region in Cygnus
I managed to get a further 10 hours to add to the initial 7 hours taken using the Sky 90/M26C array – 20-minute sub-exposures. I don’t think that the additional 10-hours added much in the way of depth to this … Continue reading

The Caldwell 3 region in Draco
Beautiful clear Moonless night last night but we only get astronomical darkness starting around 11 p.m. so it’s a late start at this time of the year (and darkness ends around 3 p.m. so you don’t get many hours of … Continue reading

Pazmino’s Cluster
Turned out rather noisy for 30 x 1,000 second subs with the Sky 90 array. Not sure why as there was no Moon about. Maybe I forget to turn the Peltiers on?? Need to redo this one with the Hyperstar … Continue reading
