A bit of star reduction on the wide field Sadr region works wonders.
Surprisingly, even a region which is predominantly stars can benefit from a little star reduction.
Here are the first 200 Fibonacci numbers – and the list below shows whether they are Prime (True) or not (False). Courtesy of Mathematica. {1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233, 377, 610, 987, … Continue reading
Having spent the whole day on the Golden Ratio, the Fibonacci sequence, the Golden (Planar) Angle, and Phyllotaxis – here is a Mathematica produced piccie of the Sunflower seed-head pattern using 2,000 “seeds”.
The well-known Fibonacci sequence formed by summing consecutive terms looks like: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89………. And a well known property of this sequence is that if you take the ratio of consecutive terms … Continue reading
Another star reduced version of an oldie. This time it’s the North America/Pelican nebula region of Cygnus taken with the 200mm lenses and the Trius M26C OSC CCDs. This is a 3-frame mosaic.
A reprocess of Mu Cephei.
From 5:39 p.m. tonight – another faint ISS pass – this time due to a blazing Moon directly behind me. You can JUST see the ISS running across the middle of the image.
Tonight’s ISS pass in nautical twilight (too light really to take the image) – but you can just about make it out.
This is an image of the Triangulum Galaxy – Messier 33 – and it has been a little while in the making. This image is a composite of data taken with the Sky90 refractor and M26C OSC CCD, the Hyperstar … Continue reading
