Composite of the IC2087 region
Got 6 x 20-minute subs with the Canon 200mm lens which I added to some earlier Sky 90 data.

Got the final bit of data on this one last night. This is a 2-framer using the Canon 200mm prime lenses and Trius M26C OSC CCDs on top of the Paramount ME. Main North America frame is 9 hours and … 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

And from a couple of nights ago – here is the Sadr region with the Canon 200mm lens array using 10 x 15-minute subs. Should get some more time on this one and then try to grab the frame to … Continue reading

Last night’s effort with the Canon 200mm lens array
Got the 2 x Trius M26C cameras VERY flat and very well focused last night before starting a run on the North America nebula region. Managed to get 17 x 20-minute subs before the Moon rose above the rooftops in … Continue reading
