Here we have 2-framers of the Cocoon nebula region and the Double Cluster region. Hopefully these are the last two images I need to reprocess from the 200mm lenses.

Each image is a 2-frame wide-field mosaic. Ruchbah and Caph – main stars in Cassiopeia.

Another reprocess – note the two Carbon stars to the left hand edge.

Noel Carboni’s new AstroFlat tool makes it very easy to bring lots of different datasets together (something that was a huge pain before the tool). So this is the first image showing all 11.5 hours of 20-minute subs for IC2087 … Continue reading →

Aldebaran, the Hyades and NGC1647 (200mm lens 2-framer) Tarazed and Barnard’s “E” (200mm lens single-framer)  

And the last one for today is the 4-framer taken using the Canon 200mm lenses and Trius M26C OSC CCDs. This is the whole of central Lyra.  

Now going back looking at old data where I have put mosaics together (not very well).  Noel’s AstroFlat tool allows you to flatten each frame of the mosaic so that they are dead easy to stitch together seamlessly. Below there … Continue reading →
