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 Cygnus Wall in Closeup – Dual Narrowband
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...
Two New Autumn Projects – The North America Wall and NGC6820
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...
NGC 6992 – The Eastern Veil Nebula – Dual Narrowband Mosaic 01/09/2019 to 05/09/2019
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...
NGC 6992 – The Eastern Veil Nebula – Mosaic in Hydrogen Alpha – 01/09/2019
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...
NGC 7635 – The Bubble Nebula in Cassiopeia – 26/08/2019
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...
NGC6960 – The Western Veil Nebula – Dual Narrowband – 25/08/2019
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...
M27 – The Dumbbell Nebula – Dual Narrowband – 23/08/2019
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...
The Rosette Nebula in Dual-Narrowband – 24th to 27th February 2019
Life has kind of taken over for the last few months, so I’ve been a bit slow getting this one up, but better late than never eh? This is my dual-narrowband image of the...
Hubble, Bubble, Collimation Trouble – Bubble Nebula in Ha – 10/09/18
See what I did there? No? Ah well… Today’s post is a bit of a lessons learned post. First – which of these statements is true :- Collimation is important SCTs keep their collimation...
The Leo Trio – 20/04/2018
