Managed to grab 7 x 10 minute subs on all 3 mini-WASP cameras before the cloud I had been watching finally arrived from France. Glad really as it meant I could have an early 12:30 a.m. night. This is open … Continue reading
Last night it was beautifully clear and Moonless and was probably one of the best imaging runs I’ve ever had. Apart from the highly anti-social hours of course as I couldn’t start imaging much before 11:00 p.m. which meant shutting … Continue reading
I had an electric focuser lying around so with a pulley and timing belt from Radiospares I put together an electric focuser rig for the Canon 5D MkII and the 100mm macro lens that took the mega-wide-field Virgo/Coma galaxies shot. … Continue reading
A recent Noel Carboni process of mostly mini-WASP test data (I used one scope for imaging whilst trying to set up the other two scopes). This is Polaris the alpha star in Ursa Minor. Although it looks like a single … Continue reading
A few weeks ago I was scrolling through the constellation Leo using “the Sky 6” planetarium program when an amazing numerical asterism flashed into view. It looked quite unreal and I wondered if it would look as impressive in the … Continue reading
Noel Carboni combined the Hyperstar III and mini-WASP data for this image.
Managed to get out for just a few minutes last night and as Leo was in a good position I focused up on Regulus and let the mini-WASP do its thing. Rather disturbing news when I processed the data this … Continue reading
Noel Carboni processed the recent Tania Australis data, and as you can see, he made a much better job of it than me 🙂
Managed a full half-hour of imaging using 3-minute subs and all three cameras on the mini-WASP array last night. Nice bright red star Tania Australis and nearby spiral galaxy NGC3184 in Ursa Major were the objects of attention. Need a … Continue reading
Using half-hour subs on the mini-WASP array this is the result of imaging the Abell 1377 region of Ursa Major – together with some advanced processing techniques courtesy of Noel Carboni. A negative B&W image is shown in order to … Continue reading
