After a day of pouring rain it decided to clear tonight so I managed to grab the comet with a Canon 5D MkII and Canon 15mm fisheye lens. Greg

I've felt 50 degrees in Crete and Arizona - it feels life threatening walking down the street. Greg

A couple of days before Christmas I found a new Prime Number with just over 454,000 digits https://primes.utm.edu/primes/page.php?id=125878 Greg

Good grief!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Greg

I see Gold Coast and Sydney got hail the size of golf balls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

15 hours worth of 40-minute subs using the Sky 90 array Greg
-
This is a composite negative B&W image of the Virgo/Coma galaxy supercluster region. There are 13 Messier objects in the frame. Can you find them all?? Greg
-
Star spikes rotated a bit for obvious reasons (if you look at the original). Greg
-
Procyon & Gomeisa with the Canon 200mm lenses - a 2-frame mosaic. Greg
-
I wanted to put a reprocess of this dusty region in Taurus on here - but it looked rubbish So here's the original. Greg
-
Noel pulled out all the stops in processing this one. I think he is trying to encourage me to get the frames off the top and bottom of M31 I need no encouragement - next clear sky - I'm out there Greg
-
Just for a laugh I combined some old Canon 200mm lens on Canon 5D MkII data with the recent Sky 90 data to see M31 in perspective Greg

With a full Moon (red circle) for size comparison. Greg

Here's a quick process of last night's M31 data taken with the Sky 90 array. This is 9-hours worth of 20-minute subs. Weather permitting I will go for a LOT more data on this one and may start off with 30-minute subs Greg
-
Got out for a couple of hours last night before the Moon rose. This is 11 x 10-minute subs using the Hyperstar III on the C11 with a Trius 814C OSC CCD. Noel Carboni processed this one as it was very difficult to sort out (flatten) with a large bright nucleus in the middle of the frame. Greg
-
I took some flats and bias frames and sent the calibrated data to Noel who did a better job on the colour. Then I stuck some spikes on the stars Greg
-
Actually - VERY deep images of the region show it's full of red emission, probably all coming from the Heart nebula which you can just see top left. Greg
-
A different crop and process on a big Double Cluster FOV image. Greg
-
I didn't refocus during those 110-minutes, but it was coming up to refocus time Usually need to refocus the Hyperstar every hour on a cold night. Greg
-
Caph is in the lower left. This is another 200mm lens image, 18 subs, 15-minutes per sub. Processing for this one by Noel Carboni who screwed the pants off it trying to bring out CTB1 which you can barely make out bang in the centre of the image. Greg

A reprocess of the Kemble's Cascade data sans spikes Greg

Cheers Ray - as you can see - it is right in the Milky Way Greg

As I finished this imaging session it fogged right over - I was extremely lucky to only lose the last pair of subs!! One of my favourite areas, the Caph region of Cassiopeia with NGC7789 in the bottom right hand corner. 200mm lenses with Trius M26C OSC CCDs. 14 subs at 15-minutes per sub. Greg

1 Frame Wonder M8, M20, & M21

Holy Moly - just a single (short!!) sub - that is an amazing place to image Greg -
The above Caph data combined with some earlier (2-frame) data. Greg
