V1331 Cygni is a young star in the constellation Cygnus. V1331 Cyg is located in the dark nebula LDN 981. V1331 Cygni is most noted for having an arc-like reflection nebula surrounding it. This circumstellar disc is a great birthplace … Continue reading
Every sub of the Pelican Nebula from every imaging system all combined together to give this result.
Here’s a reminder that I used to take deep-sky images at the New Forest Observatory. This is a single-framer of the Sadr region in Cygnus taken with the 2 x Canon 200mm prime lenses and the 2 x Trius M26C … Continue reading
Last night I got 7 hours of 20-minute subs on the NGC6914 region using the Sky 90 array. The result is shown here. As it is clear (and now Moonless) I am going for a bunch more 20-minute subs tonight … Continue reading
You too can make your own full-colour, high-resolution, deep-space images, just like the Tulip nebula mega-mosaic below – and you don’t even need to own a telescope. However, you do need a copy of Photoshop and a copy of Noel … Continue reading
I have been putting together a full-colour mega-mosaic of the Tulip nebula region in Cygnus using the wonderful DSS2 data. As this is a pretty huge mosaic you can imagine the dataset was getting a bit unwieldy – and in … Continue reading
Just a reminder that you can see most of my Astronomical images on Flickr.
I am in the final stages of setting up a new imaging system based on a Canon 200mm prime lens with M25C OSC imager and a 52 mm IDAS filter on the front of the lens giving me f#3.85 and … Continue reading
In putting together the next book “Experimental Photography” I came across some unprocessed data from a while back. It was Carbon star V623 Cassiopeiae or SAO23858 – a very nice Carbon star lying just below Pazmino’s cluster in the constellation … Continue reading
A number of people have asked me how many stars appear in the Cocoon nebula 3-frame mosaic. I use a program called Registar to link separate frames together so I can see how they all fit – and Registar will … Continue reading
