About a year ago a German amateur imager contacted me about a faint object lying near Aldebaran. It was visible (just) in an old image of mine which only had an hour of total exposure time. Just woke up this … Continue reading
First clear night in 2 months last night – so I quickly grabbed this 2-framer of Aldebaran with the Sky 90 array. 2-minute subs and 1-hour per frame.
Going back to 28th September we had the most amazing total Lunar eclipse, this image captured using a Canon 5D MkII on a TS80 triplet at f#6 all sitting on a tripod, shows pre-totality, totality, and post totality. And yes … Continue reading
This is a 2-frame mosaic using the Canon 200mm lenses and M26C OSC CCDs of the two brightest stars in lower central Lyra. Just got to get the two upper frames for a complete central Lyra mosaic.
Once again, before the Moon came up I went for the V1331 Cygni region with the Sky 90 array, this time using 15-minute subs. Got a total of 14 x 15-minute subs which were added to the earlier 15 x … Continue reading
As it is the first of the month today – it is a good day to resurrect the Deep-Sky Image of the Month 🙂 Just taken recently, I have chosen the Sky 90/M26C 4-framer of Kemble’s Cascade taken just a … Continue reading
Managed to get 50-minutes of imaging done on this region before a blazing Moon came up using the 3 x Sky 90s, so 150-minutes total using 10-minute subs. Needs a lot more on this region, including I think the frames … Continue reading
Beautiful clear evening last night and I put the Sky 90 array onto the Kemble’s Cascade region. For around 8 years I have wanted to get a 4-framer of this one but didn’t have the time to allocate to it. … Continue reading
This was a test shot having removed camera 2 for re-flattening on the laser pen rig. Short gap in the clouds gave me half an hour’s imaging time on the M57 region in Lyra. But only half an hour means … Continue reading
I just found a folder full of Carbon stars that I had not loaded up to Flickr or the NFO site. Liked this one the best, and decided to make it the Image of the Month for September 2015 🙂 … Continue reading
