Just been told by Chris Packham that it is what we call a Rosechafer Greg -

You've seen plenty of macros of our red poppies - but here's the first white one Greg

Windows 10 Lobotomized Programmers
wingeing Pom replied to Radar's topic in Computer Software - Control - Programs
So I just fired up the north dome computers after a long break and what happens? One of the Win10 computers decides it is going to access the HDD 100% of the time, right out of the blue. O.K. I sorted it by searching online, but WTAF are Microsoft playing at with this crap??? Greg -
Clear, Moonless night last night but with plenty of water vapour in the air. M52 grabbed with the Hyperstar III on a C11 with a Trius 814C OSC CCD. 20 x 5-minute subs. Greg

Filter Config - Lazy Man's Guide
wingeing Pom replied to Radar's topic in DSLR and CCD Astrophotography
Bite the bullet and open up the filter wheel Ray - and this time write down in your astro notebook the order of the filters so you won't have this issue again. Greg P.S. Obviously I have been through the same exercise -

Bloody Hell!! My worst nightmare. Sorry to hear that Ray Greg -
Now getting a bit faint, supernova SN 2020 fqv in the Siamese Twins (a galaxy pair in Virgo). Got this last night (14/04/2020) between 10:35 p.m. and 12:30 a.m. local time. Clear, Moonless night. 19 x 300-second subs using the Hyperstar III on the C11 with a Trius 814C OSC CCD. At least I got the thing Greg
-
And here is double the data processed entirely in PhotoShop CC (2020). Greg
-
It is a supernova in NGC4568. But it was dimming at this point Greg
-
Reprocessed. Greg

NGC3631 from last night (26th April 2020)
wingeing Pom replied to wingeing Pom's topic in Image Gallery -
And NGC3631 came out a lot better in PhotoShop CC - so it looks like I've got a lot of reprocessing to do. Greg -
Hyperstar III and Trius 814C OSC CCD image from last night. Only 13 x 5-minute subs so pretty noisy yet again. NGC3631 region with a huge pile of faint fuzzies at the top (North). Greg
-
Reprocessed in PhotoShop CC - I think it came out a bit better. Greg
-
Grabbed 13 x 5-minute subs with the Hyperstar last night (that's why it's quite noisy) of Arp214 in Ursa Major. Really interesting region with tons of faint fuzzies. Greg
-
Second one is double the data and much cleaner. Greg
-
Probably Shane - likely to be next season now though, not getting dark till past my bed time now Greg
-
And here's a similar amount of original Hyperstar data added plus some star spikes. Greg
-
No - not the bright thing underneath the galaxy, go straight up from there much closer to the galaxy where there is a smudgy line (quite faint) that's the string of Quasars described by Arp. Greg
