IC2087 region
Due to a series of mishaps I only managed to get 15 x 20-minute subs on this one last night using the Sky 90s (should have got 27 x 20-mins). This is the IC2087 region in Taurus – and is … Continue reading

Aldebaran, the Hyades & NGC1647
A couple of clear hours after a day of rain allowed me to grab a quick 2-framer of the Aldebaran & Hyades region with the 200mm lens. 5-minute subs and an hour on each frame. Pleased just to be able … Continue reading

V1331 Cygni region
Managed to get 50-minutes of imaging done on this region before a blazing Moon came up using the 3 x Sky 90s, so 150-minutes total using 10-minute subs. Needs a lot more on this region, including I think the frames … Continue reading

The MegaWASP array does a Kemble’s Cascade 4-framer
Beautiful clear evening last night and I put the Sky 90 array onto the Kemble’s Cascade region. For around 8 years I have wanted to get a 4-framer of this one but didn’t have the time to allocate to it. … Continue reading

The Sky 90 array does the M57 region
This was a test shot having removed camera 2 for re-flattening on the laser pen rig. Short gap in the clouds gave me half an hour’s imaging time on the M57 region in Lyra. But only half an hour means … Continue reading
