The Image of the Month for May 2013 is the recent reprocess of the Coathanger Cluster (Al Sufi’s cluster, Collinder 399) in the constellation Vulpecula. This reprocess by Noel Carboni included data from the mini-WASP array plus deep data from … Continue reading
A recent Noel Carboni process of mostly mini-WASP test data (I used one scope for imaging whilst trying to set up the other two scopes). This is Polaris the alpha star in Ursa Minor. Although it looks like a single … Continue reading
Well this site is about Life, the Universe and Everything, so where better to bring this up? I am just starting to read Carl Sagan’s “The varieties of scientific experience” and just in the first few pages it had me … Continue reading

The image of the month for April 2013 is the stunning red star Mu Cephei. As you know, I really like the impact the bright single star images have, especially when the single star is something very special. Mu Cephei … Continue reading
Noel Carboni combined the Hyperstar III and mini-WASP data for this image.
The Big Bang was when the simulation was first started.
Managed to get out for just a few minutes last night and as Leo was in a good position I focused up on Regulus and let the mini-WASP do its thing. Rather disturbing news when I processed the data this … Continue reading

Managed a full half-hour of imaging using 3-minute subs and all three cameras on the mini-WASP array last night. Nice bright red star Tania Australis and nearby spiral galaxy NGC3184 in Ursa Major were the objects of attention. Need a … Continue reading
