The megaWASP array does Kemble’s Cascade
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

The North America and Pelican nebulae Mega-WASPed
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

The MegaWASP array does the Crescent region in Cygnus
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

The megaWASP array does Arcturus
A couple of nights ago with a full Moon I took some Arcturus data with the 3 x Sky 90s. I combined the recent data with some taken a while back and came up with this result 🙂

R Coronae Borealis
Last night I used the two Canon 200mm lenses and M26C Trius OSC CCDs to image the left hand half of Corona Borealis – the idea eventually to make a 2-frame mosaic showing the whole of the constellation. When I … Continue reading

Almost set up
It was a beautiful clear Moonless night last night (we don’t get very many of those in a year) and instead of imaging I was setting up 🙁 These things unfortunately need to be done, shame it was under almost … Continue reading
