6 Panel Mosaic of the Gamma Cygni Region
each panel consists of
3x20 minute Hydrogen-Alpha(used as Red & Luminance)- 6 hours
3x10 minute Blue & Green/each-4hours
3x10 minute Blue & Green(bin 2x2)*-2 hour
total integration time(so far) 12 hours.
Taken with AT65EDQ & QHY9M

While I was doing my Gammi Cyg mosaic, I thought a couple of areas would look good in narrowband. This area is IC 1318B (top) and NGC 6910(bottom right)
Taken with
AT65EDQ & QHY9M

NGC 3766 in Centaurus
A bright pretty and crowded open star cluster. Through the eyepiece the stars looks like pearls and there comes it nickname. It was discovered by Abbe Lacaille in 1752 from South Africa. It is also a good binocular target even for light polluted skies. From a dark sky NGC 3766 can be glimpsed with naked eyes.
Recently astronomers at ESO in La Silla Observatory in Chile discovered a new type of variables stars with very small changes in its brightness.

The image was taken a few weeks ago 110 km north from Buenos Aires, Argentina

Searching for exoplanets
The Danish 1.54 meter telescope hard at work at La Silla, Chile. It is looking for anomalous microlensing events towards the centre of the Milky Way. Such an event might indicate the presence of an exoplanet.
