Taurus molecular clouds

Taken a couple of nights back, this is 10-hour’s worth of 20-minute subs centred on SAO67573 one frame to the right of IC2087 also taken with the Canon 200mm lenses and M26C OSC CCDs.   At the top/centre there is … Continue reading

Unbelievably last night was the 3rd clear night in a row – Moonless too!! So – making best use of this gift I managed to grab the final left hand frame on the North America 3-pane mosaic. This is a … Continue reading

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 Double Cluster – yet again

I just can’t keep away from this region, and as there was a half-Moon up until 11 p.m. last night, a star cluster seemed like a good idea. This is another one of those images I have had in my … Continue reading
