As I mentioned in my previous post, I’ve recently been revamping my entire setup. Two major parts of this were the purchase of a One Shot Colour (OSC) CMOS camera, (a Player One Ares-C...
I’m back! Been about three years since my last serious deep sky image. I’ve recently had an almost complete revamp of my imaging setup, which I’ll go over fairly soon in a bit more...
A story of my imaging of the planetary show-off of our solar system, Saturn, with luminance and colour captured separately and combined in post-processing…
Here’s the King of the Solar System, Jupiter, near opposition on 16th September 2022.
A trip to a local Roman fort in the early hours helped produce some spectacular shots of the summer’s visiting dirty snowball, with a few surprises along the way…
My first planetary capture session of any note for several years…!
A transit across the face of the moon by our favourite 420-ton hunk of scientific loveliness…
A return this last month to an old favourite – Caldwell 49 – The Rosette Nebula in Monoceros…
A quick one this… I couldn’t make it to the last SEKAS meeting prior to them going on hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but I heard that the month’s imaging challenge was ARP94,...
My first astro-image of the new decade, and my first from the garden of my new house after a recent move. This is my first take on M42, the Great Orion Nebula for a...
In Wednesday night’s unexpected bout of clarity, I made use of the moonless sky to grab the Oiii I needed to complete my Cygnus Wall image from my previous post in dual-narrowband. I captured...
It’s HYDROGEN ALPHA SEASON folks! To explain… this time of year, high in the sky for most of the night are various emission nebulae that have loads of Hydrogen Alpha (Ha) emissions, at the...
I added to my previous Ha image (here), and am now really happy to present my first finished colour narrowband mosaic image. This is NGC 6992, the Eastern Veil Nebula. Part of the same supernova...
A bit of unexpected clarity last night, so here’s my first attempt at something new. Have to keep mixing things up a little – it keeps it interesting! This is a Hydrogen Alpha...
Final summer image, as Autumn officially starts tomorrow! This is NGC 6888, the Crescent Nebula in Cygnus. Floating in the middle of the huge lake of nebulosity that is Cygnus the Swan, is...
Another day, another image! I’ve been getting a decent run of cloudless nights this week, which, as we all know in the UK, is unusual, even in the summer… This beauty is NGC7635 – the...
I love the late summer nights – lots of lovely nebulosity to capture, with Cygnus high in the sky for most of the night. This is a new image, taken last night at time...
It’s been a few months since I last imaged due to the lack of any real night – in the mid summer, it never really gets dark enough to image well, even in the...
In the latter part of 2018, I got to the point where I wanted to up my imaging game. The main way I could do this was more data (i.e. more sub-frame exposures =...
The latest in my series of ‘captured a few months ago, only got around to posting them now’ images, this is my take on M106, the ‘Splendid Galaxy’. This is a galaxy that has...
