Not a lot of colour in M106 itself 🙁 But plenty in the stars 🙂 The Sky 90s always seem to be able to grab star colour very nicely. 24 x 20-minute subs using the mini-WASP array. And yes – … Continue reading
The cloud didn’t finally shift until 9:00 p.m. last night – but when it did we were left with a pitch black, clear, Moonless night like I haven’t seen for about a year. After a couple of stalls where the … Continue reading
Managed to get the mini-WASP array set up early last night, imaging by 6:10 p.m., just as well as clouded out by 8:10 p.m. Set up on Carbon star SAO 77516 in Taurus, was going to do M1 but then … Continue reading
Here is the full frame C W Leonis image with a magnified insert.
Managed to get 12 x 20-minute subs on this one from the mini-WASP array late last night. This is possibly the brightest star at 5um wavelength in the galaxy – so I wasn’t actually expecting to see ANYTHING at visible … Continue reading
There is a 4-page article in the February 2015 issue of Astronomy Now on the mini-WASP array at the New Forest Observatory. To save trawling through the last 2 years of development on this site, buy the Feb 2015 issue … Continue reading
Taken on the evening of 16/01/2015 using the mini-WASP array and 2-minute subs (around 90 in total). Not very impressive and I won’t spend any more valuable imaging time on this one. I was lulled into a false sense of … Continue reading
Managed to get 12 x 20-minute subs on this one before total cloud cover last night – nice Moonless conditions – but a ton of water vapour in the air (seen using the standard torch test). Glad I got something … Continue reading
With a half Moon up and very poor seeing I grabbed 4 x 15-minute subs as a test-shot using the 200mm lens and a 52mm IDAS filter on the front. Only a very quick process so I left in the … Continue reading
6 x 20-minute subs on the Canon 200mm lens composited with some earlier Sky 90 data on the Rosette alone.
