03 Finding the Size of the Sun and Moon - At Home Astronomy
http://www.athomeastronomy.net/activity_03.html
Finding the Size of the Sun and Moon. In this activity you'll learn how to build a simple pinhole viewer. This apparatus can be used to project images from a variety of light sources. When used to project an image of the Sun, the pinhole viewer can be used to determine the diameter of Sun. Today's image of the Sun taken by the Extreme Ultraviolet imaging Telescope onboard the SOHO satellite. Courtesy of the Solar Data Analysis Center.

Astro Imaging in the UK. NB Project – Messier. NB Project – NGC. July 12, 2011 / Posted by ant. There are 110 object in the Messier list. The list was compiled by a French Comet Hunter called Charles Messier. It is ironic that he is remembered for the list of things “not to be mistaken for a comet” rather than the comets themselves. I have imaged numerous of these objects. There is also the NGC and IC catalogues. Rsaquo; No comments yet. Rsaquo; No pingbacks yet.

The Sun came out – honest… I have pictures to prove it :)

Astro Imaging in the UK. NB Project – Messier. NB Project – NGC. The Sun came out – honest… I have pictures to prove it :). September 28, 2014 / ant. Managed to get out yesterday with the PST and also used red insulation tape (rather a lot) to make the White light filter I have, that fits the ED80, fit the ST102. I have never really been that happy with my white light imaging attempts in the past, and because of that I haven’t tried for years. Must be at least 5 years since I last tried.

Astro Imaging in the UK. NB Project – Messier. NB Project – NGC. Laquo; Posts by ant. 2 Day crescent with the C11. April 21, 2015 / ant. First result with the C11 that I’m happy with. A 2 day old crescent moon sitting in the west just below Venus – a very nice sight indeed. I even looked through the eyepiece! This is a 15 pane mosaic with the DMK21 and C11. January 27, 2015 / ant. Russ made me do it. I got up and out in time to see and capture the sunrise…. Did get some funny looks from people. Usual set...

SH2-101 The Tulip Nebula
http://www.emberson.org/2014/09/28/sh2-101-the-tulip-nebula
Astro Imaging in the UK. NB Project – Messier. NB Project – NGC. SH2-101 The Tulip Nebula. September 28, 2014 / ant. Fairly obvious why it has its name. 8 x 5 minutes. 10 x 10 minutes. 10 x 20 minutes. Same as usual setup (ST102, Heq5, SX FW/OAG, Lodestar/PHD for guiding and SXH9/Maxin for capture). Stacked in DSS, post processing in PSCS5. Laquo; The Pacman 22/08/2014. The Veil Nebula 12/08/2014 ». Rsaquo; No comments yet. Rsaquo; No pingbacks yet.

M52 and The Bubble Nebula

Astro Imaging in the UK. NB Project – Messier. NB Project – NGC. M52 and The Bubble Nebula. September 28, 2014 / ant. The Bubble Nebula and Scorpion cluster. 10 x 10 minutes. 9 x 20 minutes. Framed to make sure that I get both in, the H9 is fairly small shipped, but you have to work with what you have! Quite like the framing of this show. Usual setup ST102/H9. SX FW/OAG/Lodestar. Maxim, PHD, DSS, PSCS5…. Laquo; The Veil Nebula 12/08/2014. Rsaquo; No comments yet. Rsaquo; No pingbacks yet.

Astro Imaging in the UK. NB Project – Messier. NB Project – NGC. July 12, 2011 / Posted by ant. The moon can be a fascinating object to view, it does get in the way of viewing some of the fainter Deep Sky Objects which is where my main interest lies. But I have managed to capture a few good images. Rsaquo; No comments yet. Rsaquo; No pingbacks yet.
