Astro Photos: January 2011

http://barnfieldbob.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html

Sunday, 30 January 2011. I have quite a lot of light pollution due south, and although the CLS filter helped a lot, it didn't remove all the effects of the light, so this needed some careful processing. HOwever, the dark dust lanes running through the region are clearly visible. Links to this post. Tuesday, 18 January 2011. No winter season would be complete without an image of the Orion Nebula, and what better time to do it when there's a full moon close by in Gemini! Links to this post.

Astro Photos: A Sunflower in Spring

http://barnfieldbob.blogspot.com/2011/04/sunflower-in-spring.html

Thursday, 21 April 2011. A Sunflower in Spring. M63, also known as the Sunflower Galaxy, was last night's target. Situated in Canes Venatici, it's well-place high in the sky at sensible observing times at this time of year. This was taken through the LX-200R without focal reducer, and is composed from 12 x 5min luminance and 12 x 2 min each R, G and B. Something to look out for next time!

Sunday, 20 March 2011. M94 in Canes Venatici. This seems to be a less frequently photographed galaxy than some, but would repay some further attention when the been is less obtrusive!

Astro Photos: May 2010

http://barnfieldbob.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html

Friday, 28 May 2010. Crescent Nebula, NGC 6888. But I then used the combined H-alpha frame as the red channel, as well as the luminance channel, with the G and B frames. It was taken through the LX200 at f/10, which is clearly too long a focal length to get it all in. I will have another go at this one later in the season, when the nights are a bit longer. I'll also need to use the focal reducer to get it all in; the extra photons per pixel will also help to get a brighter, clearer image. Last night was ...

Astro Photos: December 2010

http://barnfieldbob.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html

Sunday, 26 December 2010. Last night was the first chance I've had in what's seemed like ages to get out into the observatory and do some imaging - so what if it was Christmas Day! Links to this post. Thursday, 9 December 2010. The Rosette Nebula in Monoceros has long been a favourite object of mine, and ever since I bought the Atik, I've wanted to try imaging the Rosette in narrowband; last night, I got my chance!
