I have recently finished the Second Edition of the Springer publication “Making Beautiful Deep-Sky Images” and it has been sent off to them to make bookworthy. Springer then sends me back the draft (with all the page numbers) and I … Continue reading
Noel Carboni recently processed the 22-hours of data from the Sky 90 mini-WASP array. This data comprised 15 and 20-minute sub-exposures.
I have only just stacked ALL the data on this one from late 2014. This is 69 subs using 15.20-minute exposures for a total of 22-hours on this one. The Sky 90 array on the mini-WASP. f#4.5 3 x Sky … Continue reading
Beautiful clear Moonless night last night but we only get astronomical darkness starting around 11 p.m. so it’s a late start at this time of the year (and darkness ends around 3 p.m. so you don’t get many hours of … Continue reading

Turned out rather noisy for 30 x 1,000 second subs with the Sky 90 array. Not sure why as there was no Moon about. Maybe I forget to turn the Peltiers on?? Need to redo this one with the Hyperstar … Continue reading
4 hours of 10-minute subs from last year with the Sky 90 array. Akira Fujii effect.
Here is a 4-frame mosaic of the Kemble’s Cascade region taken with the Sky 90 array and M26C OSC CCDs. I have used the Akira Fujii effect to enhance the brighter stars. This actually means deliberately bloating the brighter stars … Continue reading

The Sky 90 array was set on this object to see if I could pick up the 3 quasars near this galaxy. No sign!! A day later I put the Hyperstar III on the same region but only got 4 … Continue reading
