I recently took a very deep Hyperstar III 2-framer of the Tulip nebula region in Cygnus and Noel Carboni processed the two frame together to give this image 🙂
Yet ANOTHER clear Moonless night last night – and although feeling really sick with sleep deprivation – I went outside and fired up the beast. Really glad I did as the target was the open cluster M11 which sits in … Continue reading
Isaac Asimov had it right with this dense Milky Way region in Cygnus. Captured last night with the mini-WASP array, 7 x 15-minute subs on all 3 scopes and M26C OSC cameras.
Just the Sky 90 data on this one (I also have 2 datasets from the 2 TS 80s) showing the open cluster region around NGC 6871 and NGC 6883 in Cygnus.
So I’m spending a couple of hours imaging in Cygnus with both the mini-WASP array and the Hyperstar III 🙂
This is a 5-frame mosaic put together using Noel Carboni’s Astronomy Tools for Photoshop and DSS2 red and blue channel data. I seriously question why I bother to image when such high quality data is readily available to download and … Continue reading
You can see a full colour image of the California nebula processed from DSS2 data here. The nebula extends to quite a way below the leftmost part of the image – it’s VERY big!
Not having the day job has given me a new imaging experience – the ability to image during June 🙂 With the day job I used to give up imaging half way through May (if not earlier) due to the … Continue reading
Managed to grab 7 x 10 minute subs on all 3 mini-WASP cameras before the cloud I had been watching finally arrived from France. Glad really as it meant I could have an early 12:30 a.m. night. This is open … Continue reading
Last night it was beautifully clear and Moonless and was probably one of the best imaging runs I’ve ever had. Apart from the highly anti-social hours of course as I couldn’t start imaging much before 11:00 p.m. which meant shutting … Continue reading
