A Sky90 array image from 03/03/2015 this is star V509 Cassiopeiae a yellow hypergiant star in Cassiopeia. 44 subs at 4-minutes per sub.

A 2-frame Sky90 array mosaic taken on 08/03/2015. Each frame was 18 x 4-minute subs.

Bright blue star Rho Leonis captured using the Sky90 array on 13/03/2015. 23 subs at 5-minutes per sub.

I reprocessed Aldebaran with ring flare so it would look similar to Spica and Arcturus.

Spica – the Brightest Bluest star in the sky. Reprocessed 22/04/2015 data taken on the Sky90 array with the M26C OSC CCDs. 33 subs at 5-minutes per sub. Spica is Alpha Virginis, the brightest star in the constellation Virgo.

From 03-06-2015 a 2-frame mosaic of Arcturus taken with the Sky90 array and the M26C OSC CCDs. Each frame was 30 subs at 4-minutes per sub. In the 5 o’clock position is the asterism called “Napoleon’s Hat”.

Reprocessed data from 09/09/2015 – the bright star towards centre bottom is Epsilon Cassiopeiae (the topmost left star in the Cassiopeia “W”) – and in the 11 o’clock position is an interesting asterism I call “Greg’s Lambda” as noone else seems to have laid claim to it. This is a Sky90 array/M26C OSC CCD image with each frame being 12 subs at 10-minutes per sub.

This is Kemble’s Cascade in the constellation Camelopardalis – and in this image the Cascade has been made more apparent by using the Akira Fujii effect. Another old data reprocess from 22/09/2015. This is a 4-frame mosaic using the Sky90 array and the M26C OSC CCDs. 3 of the 4 frames are 12 x 10-minute subs, and the 4th frame is 15 x 10-minute subs giving a total exposure time of 8 and a half hours. This is a large crop to centre the cascade.

A reprocess from 08/12/2022 – this is a 2-frame mosaic using the Sky90 array and M26C OSC CCDs of the Aldebaran region. A total of 66 subs at 2-minutes per sub.
