Clear night but half a Moon blazing away. Never mind there’s a nice long 6-minute pass of the Space Station due at 22:35. In fact for the next week there are 6-minute passes due every night!
I didn’t notice a bad stitch in the original data. This is a 4-pane mosaic using the Canon 200mm prime lenses and Trius M26C OSC CCDs.
An unusual grouping had me out last night with the Canon 5D MkII and 15mm Canon fisheye lens. It was 10:30 p.m. and still fairly light outside (darkness doesn’t start until Midnight!). Vega, Arcturus, Spica and Jupiter provided the Quartet, … Continue reading
This is last night’s data taken between 11 p.m. and 12:30 a.m. on the Sky 90 array. 18 x 10-minute subs, and a star has been labelled for reference. One bright asteroid in the FOV only clear in the averaged … Continue reading

From last night, 21 x 10-minute subs on the Sky 90 array. Blazing half Moon causing trouble but as it was a beautiful clear (bitterly cold) night I imaged anyway. Couldn’t be bothered to process out the plane trail.
From last night, lovely blue Gomeisa or Beta Canis Majoris. 36 x 10-minute subs on the Sky 90 array – and yes the averaged data shows a very nice asteroid near the centre of the image. Doesn’t look like we … Continue reading
Had my eye on a big band of rain and cloud running right down the East coast last night – by some miracle it just kept clear of Hampshire. So yet ANOTHER clear and Moonless night for imaging. Decided to … Continue reading
Beautiful clear Moonless sky last night – hard to know where to point the telescopes. Decided on the Bubble nebula region and the 2 x Canon 200mm prime lenses together with the 2 x Trius M26C OSC CCDs. “Claws” is … Continue reading
