Here is the full-frame (uncropped) version of Hind’s Variable nebula.
This reprocess is a single frame taken on the Sky90 array using the M26C OSC CCDs. It is the M105 region in Leo and comprises 7-hours of 15-minute subs.
This single frame image of Delta Persei was taken on the Sky90 array using the M26C OSC CCDs and comprises 72 x 450-second subs.
Here is the second reprocess, this time it is Hind’s Variable nebula. A single frame image cropped to the nebula region. A staggering 22-hours of 20-minute subs went into creating this image. Taken on the Sky90 array using the M26C … Continue reading
I have just found a huge pile of images that I didn’t process properly the first time around, so I have just spent all morning processing just a few of them. This first image shows the bright blue star Merak … Continue reading
I worked in the observatory from 10 p.m. until 1:15 a.m. this morning getting the Sky90 array tuned up and ready to go. All 3 Sky90s are now well-aligned and the collimation on each camera is spot on. We’re ready … Continue reading
I have just completed a major upgrade to the MiniWASP array, specifically the 2 Canon 200mm f#2.8 prime lenses. You can now see there are a pair of red cameras on the back instead of the usual black ones. These … Continue reading
I had absolutely no idea it was an ISS lunar transit last night, which is why the picture is so badly framed. But at least I captured it. And here is the single frame of the transit.
This is a composite image using DSS2 data and my own Sky90 data of the Struve’s Lost Nebula region. If I ever get the skies, I will need to get a lot more data on this one.
The faint red ring that you can hardly see in the centre of this image is supernova remnant CTB1 in Cassiopeia. I have tried imaging this one for years, and this is what I usually end up with. I thought … Continue reading
