I just found a folder full of Carbon stars that I had not loaded up to Flickr or the NFO site. Liked this one the best, and decided to make it the Image of the Month for September 2015 🙂 … Continue reading
Only 9 x 10-minute subs from the Sky 90s and M26Cs went into this one – but as that is clearly enough – it has got me re-thinking how best to use the Mega-WASP array for my work.
Used the 3 x Sky 90s and M26Cs on the Mega-WASP array to image the Epsilon Cassiopeiae region together with Greg’s Lambda. Clear Moonless evening 🙂
A beautiful clear, Moonless night last night – and I think it lasted ALL night. However, as I had just a 5-hour return trip to Herstmonceaux to give a talk, I couldn’t manage imaging beyond midnight. Decided on Tarazed and … Continue reading

Another nice long 6-minute ISS pass tonight at 10:04 p.m. As you can see, there was thin high cloud about which thickened considerably – so no imaging for me tonight 🙁
On the night of the blue supermoon (31st July) I looked out of the window to see the ISS passing over the Moon (so I missed a great photo-opportunity) around 10:00 p.m. I hadn’t been keeping an eye on the … Continue reading
Last night, for the first time since I put it together, I have been able to use the 2 x Canon 200mm lenses (and M26C Trius cameras) as intended. The whole idea with this rig was to get two horizontal … Continue reading
