The Moon 2013 February 19

Posted on February 27, 2013 by davidardittiFebruary 27, 2013

I went a bit mad with imaging the Moon on this night, doing it with three different cameras and telescopes. So I did my usual whole Moon with the 80mm refractor, but I also made this redundant by taking a … Continue reading →

Here’s another in my series of whole Moon portraits (or visible part of the Moon anyway) assembled from SkyNYX webcam images through 80mm f7.5. This is the Moon aged 10.1 days, the phase that gives the “sword-handle” view (as it … Continue reading →

Having not imaged any galaxies for a long time, here are a whole lot of them, around M 84 and M 86 in the Virgo Cluster, taken 2013 February 17. I have labelled the 25 brightest ones, down to around … Continue reading →

M5 with the 11-inch Hyperstar

Back to deep-sky imaging. I got the C-11 Hyperstar system working again, in part to try to image NEO 2012 DA14, but it was cloudy when that came over. I adjusted the system the previous night (the Hyperstar always takes … Continue reading →

Jupiter 2012 December 01

Seeing was average for here and jumpy. A very similar view to that which I took on November 29, LRS-1 in the north and the merging barges in the NEB are the most prominent red features, plus there is a … Continue reading →

The Moon, 2012 December 29

I though I’d use a different method for imaging the Moon on this occasion. Attaching my Lumenera SkyNYX 2-0 camera (now superseded on C-14 for planetary duties) to an 80mm f7.5 ED refractor at prime focus, I videoed the gibbous … Continue reading →

I used here the same setup on the C-14 that I’ve been using for imaging Jupiter (as it is easier not to change it): the 3x Barlow and Flea 3. Seeing was not good. This is through an IR filter. … Continue reading →

The Moon and Jupiter in conjunction at Chrismas

On Christmas night 2012 the Moon and Jupiter got within a degree as seen from the UK, and from South America and Southern Africa there was an occultation of Jupiter. This was actually quite a difficult scene to image, as … Continue reading →
