ARP94 – A Pair of Interacting Galaxies in Leo
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,...

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...
Another image captured a while back, but only now posted, this is an LRGB (Luminance, Red, Green, Blue) image of M51 – the Whirlpool Galaxy in Canes Venatici. It consists of 1hr each of...
Another first! This is my first ever image captured in full colour using a mono camera. In order to get a colour image out of a mono camera, you capture each of the...
This image is one I’ve wanted to capture for a while. This is one part of a string of galaxies known as Markarian’s Chain, that form part of the huge Virgo Cluster. I’ve decided...
This is a mono capture the Leo Trio of galaxies. People refer to it as the Leo Triplet, but I prefer the way Leo Trio rolls off the tongue…!
This is a reprocess of previous data on M101 taken back in 2014. It consists of 1hr 35mins of data in 4m exposures at ISO 800 with the modified 1100D and Astronomik CLS...
I’ve recently started experimenting using a different set of tools for processing my astro shots. I’ve moved away from using Deep Sky Stacker, and have started using MaximDL for the initial stacking, calibration and first...
Finally! I can’t tell you how much of a pain the last 7 months have been in regard to removing the gremlins from my imaging setup. I’ll go into it in a bit more...
Last night, I captured M101, the Pinwheel Galaxy. This image was the first ever capture using my new Refractor, the Starwave 102ED f/7. It is a very nice piece of kit that will be...
I’ve finally captured this lovely little duo of galaxies in Ursa Major properly. M82 (on the left) is the galaxy that currently has a supernova showing to us (the one that happened 12 million...
The first is always the best! on 23rd January 2014, I captured an image of Supernova J2014 in M82 (the Cigar Galaxy) in Ursa Major. It appeared a few days before, and shows up...
Let me start by saying this is one of my favourite objects in the entire sky. Its one target that I’d never actually been able to see, and hence became one of my first...
This is an image of M31, the famous Andromeda Galaxy. Taken on the HEQ5 with the Revelation 80mm Semi-Apo f6 refractor, with a SkyWatcher Light Pollution filter. This is a total of 18x 5minute...
