Each image is a 2-frame wide-field mosaic. Ruchbah and Caph – main stars in Cassiopeia.
Another reprocess – note the two Carbon stars to the left hand edge.
Noel Carboni’s new AstroFlat tool makes it very easy to bring lots of different datasets together (something that was a huge pain before the tool). So this is the first image showing all 11.5 hours of 20-minute subs for IC2087 … Continue reading
Aldebaran, the Hyades and NGC1647 (200mm lens 2-framer) Tarazed and Barnard’s “E” (200mm lens single-framer)
And the last one for today is the 4-framer taken using the Canon 200mm lenses and Trius M26C OSC CCDs. This is the whole of central Lyra.
Now going back looking at old data where I have put mosaics together (not very well). Noel’s AstroFlat tool allows you to flatten each frame of the mosaic so that they are dead easy to stitch together seamlessly. Below there … Continue reading
There are no hours of darkness in the southern UK right now – but going out to a beautiful clear sky last night – I just had to take a piccie. This is a 6-second exposure at ISO800 with the … Continue reading
