Hind’s Variable nebula
Hind’s Variable nebula, Struve’s Lost nebula, Burnham’s nebula, NGC1555 – they’re all the same thing and it is the orange thing in the centre of this image. A beautiful clear night last night allowed me to grab 41 x 20-minutes … Continue reading

Taurus molecular clouds
Taken a couple of nights back, this is 10-hour’s worth of 20-minute subs centred on SAO67573 one frame to the right of IC2087 also taken with the Canon 200mm lenses and M26C OSC CCDs. At the top/centre there is … Continue reading

Aldebaran and the Hyades
A rather “quick and dirty” image of the region. I need to get a lot more, deeper, subs of this region if I can this winter.

Unbelievably last night was the 3rd clear night in a row – Moonless too!! So – making best use of this gift I managed to grab the final left hand frame on the North America 3-pane mosaic. This is a … Continue reading

Got 6 x 20-minute subs with the Canon 200mm lens which I added to some earlier Sky 90 data.

17 hours on the NGC6914 region in Cygnus
I managed to get a further 10 hours to add to the initial 7 hours taken using the Sky 90/M26C array – 20-minute sub-exposures. I don’t think that the additional 10-hours added much in the way of depth to this … Continue reading

The Double Cluster – yet again
I just can’t keep away from this region, and as there was a half-Moon up until 11 p.m. last night, a star cluster seemed like a good idea. This is another one of those images I have had in my … Continue reading

The NGC6914 region in Cygnus
Last night I got 7 hours of 20-minute subs on the NGC6914 region using the Sky 90 array. The result is shown here. As it is clear (and now Moonless) I am going for a bunch more 20-minute subs tonight … Continue reading
