This is a 2-frame mosaic using the Canon 200mm prime lenses and the Trius M26C OSC CCDs. The left hand side of the frame is the IC2087 region and the right hand side has the bright star SAO76573 in the centre – north is up. Each frame is 10-hours of 20-minute subs so the whole image is 20-hours in the making. This region is just a small part of the massive Taurus Molecular Cloud.

Final reprocess for today. Another 200mm Canon prime lens image with the Trius M26C OSC CCDs, but this time just a single-framer. The central star is SAO76573 and from its dusty surroundings you might guess it sits in the Taurus Molecular Cloud. North is to the left and this image is meade up from 30 x 20-minute subs so 10-hours of data in this one. North is to the left.

Reprocess number 2 for today and another 2-frame mosaic from the 200mm Canon prime lenses and the Trius M26C OSC CCDs. This time it is Procyon (bottom left) and Gomeisa (top right) which make up the constellation Canis Minor. Approximately 6-hours of 10-minute subs in this one.

Another reprocess – this time of the 200mm Canon prime lens data (with Trius M26C OSC CCDs). This is a 2-frame mosaic of Arcturus – so this is a BIG field of view. Around 4-hours of 5-minute subs in total. North is up.

A reprocess of some old 200mm lens data using the Trius 26C OSC CCD camera. This is 22 x 10-minute subs on the Tarazed/Barnard’s “E” region. This year I will try to get a 2-framer of this region including Alshain and Altair as well as Tarazed.
