Dynamics of a Comet's Tail There has been thousands of spectacular images recently taken of Comet Tsuchinshan-Atlas and I have finally joined the party...all be it late! Imaged on the 23 of October 2024 as it was setting in Spain. Image taken with The Takahashi 180 and asi2400mc pro. When you compa...

The Perseus Double Cluster  NGC869 and NGC884, surrounded by clouds of Hydrogen. I remember as a teenager stumbling across this with my telescope thinking it looked like a firework in the eyepiece. Such a beautiful visual object, it never really had the same impact for me when photographed. With the...

M45 OSC & an NBZ filter M45 The Pleiades. What a wonderful part of the sky, when ever I see it rising in the East I know that the winter of on its way. It still amazes me what can be done with a OSC camera and dual band filters. Imaged remotely from Spain in One Shot Colour and Ha/O3 Dual band ...

The Cats Eye Nebula in RGB Ha and O3. Imaged remotely from Spain with the 16in Dall-Kirkham and the Player One Poseidon M-pro...I am really liking this new camera so much cleaner than the previous ZWO with far superior cooling.

It's not often imaged by itself, Thor's Hammer in IC1848 in the HST palette. Done with the 16in Dall-Kirkham and Player One Poseidon mono camera, imaged remotely from Spain. It's the third image from it and so far I am really loving the way its running. Exposure time were 60x 180s Ha and 75x 300s ea...

This is the first image taken after a big strip down and rebuild of the 16in ODK. I spent a lot of time spacing and collimating the optics. It is also the first image from the new Player One Poseidon mono camera, I think I'm going to have a lot of fun with this scope. Imaged remotely from Spain. NGC...

I've recently got back from installing this scope in Spain. Here is the first image from it, M20 The Triffid Nebula in RGB and Ha.

IC1274, This object is a good representation of a classic reflection nebula, showing pinks and blues, its such a nice honest object. Over shadowed by its more popular neighbour The Lagoon Nebula it doesn't get a s much attention. Imaged remotely from Spain with the ASA12N f3:6 and the asi2600mm pro....

I did this shot of the Veil Nebula using the Epsilon 180Ed , ZWO ASI2400MC pro One Shot Colour and Askar Dual Band Ha/O3 I am just gobsmacked how much I was able to bring out for such a relatively short amount of exposure... and on a OSC no less!! These Dual Band filters reinvents OSC imaging in my ...
