And I’m imaging M52, the bubble nebula, NGC 7538 and NGC 7510 with a single mini-WASP frame.
I see the Image of the Month didn’t pop up a couple of days back. Either I didn’t do one or it’s lost in cyberspace. Never mind, here’s one a couple of days late. This is the recent M11 in … Continue reading
Flitting through a planetarium program I stumbled upon a nice bright Carbon star in Corona Borealis. Designated SAO 84015 at magnitude 6 this should look really great! So a couple of nights ago I fired up the mini-WASP to grab … Continue reading
For this DSS2 image of the Tulip nebula region in Cygnus I just kept adding frames until the computer gave up 🙂
Another object bagged by the mini-WASP array during the recent period of clear Moonless nights. This time it is the Globular Cluster M10 in the constellation Ophiucus. 7 x 10-minute sub-exposures on all 3 cameras.
Lovely clear night again last night, but with a blazing Moon in the south it meant imaging towards the north. Decided on a cluster rich region close to Ruchbah in Cassiopeia as the target. Mini-WASP array, all 3 cameras firing, … Continue reading
It’s 11:30 p.m. – I’m in the NFO control room. Queen is on BBC4 and “Hammer to Fall” is blasting out, expecting the ASBO to be delivered any second. All 4 computers monitors on, I’m imaging 7 clusters and … Continue reading
Lovely clear evening last night, but there was an annoying Moon hanging around for most of the imaging session. Never mind, the Moon isn’t too much of a problem when you’re taking star shots. The one frame has caught two … Continue reading
All three data sets added together using Registar.
Another dense Milky Way shot, this time with a Carbon star in the centre of the FOV, V Aquilae, in the constellation Aquila. How many clear Moonless nights in a row are we going to get??
