The mini-WASP arrays grabs Carbon star V Aquilae

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??

Hyperstar III deep 2-framer of the Tulip nebula region in Cygnus

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 🙂

The mini-WASP array grabs M11 in the Scutum star cloud

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

The Stars Like Dust

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.

2 Carbon stars and nebulosity in Cygnus

NGC 6791 and Carbon star U Lyrae in the constellation Lyra

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

A beautiful pair of Carbon stars in Lyra

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
