Only 9 x 10-minute subs from the Sky 90s and M26Cs went into this one – but as that is clearly enough – it has got me re-thinking how best to use the Mega-WASP array for my work.
Used the 3 x Sky 90s and M26Cs on the Mega-WASP array to image the Epsilon Cassiopeiae region together with Greg’s Lambda. Clear Moonless evening 🙂
A beautiful clear, Moonless night last night – and I think it lasted ALL night. However, as I had just a 5-hour return trip to Herstmonceaux to give a talk, I couldn’t manage imaging beyond midnight. Decided on Tarazed and … Continue reading
One night before full Moon I managed to grab this with the 2 x 200mm and 2 x M26C OSC CCDs. 12 x 10-minute subs in all. Came out much better than I was expecting so I must go back … Continue reading
A very rare beautiful clear Moonless night last night so I put the 2 x Canon 200mm lenses on a favourite star region of mine – Kemble’s Cascade in Camelopardalis. Managed 2-hours worth of 10-minute subs with the array and … Continue reading
Managed to get 8 x 30-minute subs last night with the 2 x 200mm Canons and the M26Cs, and I added this to earlier 19 x 15-minute data from the same rig using Registar. This is the result. I think … Continue reading
Another nice long 6-minute ISS pass tonight at 10:04 p.m. As you can see, there was thin high cloud about which thickened considerably – so no imaging for me tonight 🙁
On the night of the blue supermoon (31st July) I looked out of the window to see the ISS passing over the Moon (so I missed a great photo-opportunity) around 10:00 p.m. I hadn’t been keeping an eye on the … Continue reading
Last night, for the first time since I put it together, I have been able to use the 2 x Canon 200mm lenses (and M26C Trius cameras) as intended. The whole idea with this rig was to get two horizontal … Continue reading
I have just assembled this DNA model that comes from Cochrane’s of Oxford. It is extremely well thought out and the instructions for assembly are quite excellent given the complexity of the thing being put together. When I first saw … Continue reading
