  1. So as I mentioned earlier, the quest for my astronomy gathering this month is to get a photo of the Rosette Nebula, which is pretty good for us to shoot at home at the moment.

    You saw my in progress shot with my Dwarf 3, but I haven't forgotten about my Dwarf 2, so Rob lent me his SVBONY CLS filter and I've had a bunch of sessions with it.

    So here's the result, and I'm loving the rosiness of the Rosette 🙂

    Of course I should call it my preferred moniker - the Unicorn Nostril. Well, look at it, it's right there at Monoceros's snout in the right place!

  10. Incidentally, we have MDA deployed this evening.

    The Medium Dwarf Array, comprised of two #Dwarf3 and two #Dwarf2 .

    If I set up our last Dwarf2 as well, it becomes the Large Dwarf Array, and if our friend comes over with her Dwarf3, it is the Very Large Dwarf Array.

    I think we can all see where this is going.

  15. Last night I promised that there would be Some Astronomy Happening.

    Because we had SDA deployed on the front patio roof, we only had a couple of hours.

    However...

    I was able to get a far better shot of of #IC2177 ( the #SeagullNebula ) with the #Dwarf2 than I expected.

    Sadly my attempt at #GUM6 aka #SH2_302 aka #RCW7 ( the #SnowmanNebula ) was a lot less successful.

    Tonight, I am revisiting both. This time I'm shooting a full night for them. Let's see what we get!

    Meantime, here are the shots from last night.

  20. @rdm and I are in some pretty dark sky this weekend. Unfortunately the rest of the weekend is cloudy but last night we got to revel in some lovely nebula and here's one of my favorites from last night's session. It's the Blue Horsehead Nebula, taken with the #Dwarf2 which did really well! #SmartTelescope The Dwarf3 was busy stuffing up a mosaic. #Astrodon #Astronomy #Astrophotography #Nebula #SouthernHemisphereAstronomy

  25. Hello everybody and I hope you’ve been getting some clear skies for your telescoping if you’re into it. If you’re not into it, that’s cool, this may not be of interest to you.

    It’s clagged over for me, but before it did, I was very busy with the sky indeed. Let me take you on a journey - the journey of the Leece’s ClusterFudge.

    People who are familiar with my astronomy writings may remember that once I had a telescope of the smart persuasion I found I liked hunting Nebulae.

    I thought they were beautiful and cool and interesting, and really gave one the impression of 3 dimensionality in the night sky, that space was indeed filled with vast depths.

    Clusters, I said, especially Globular Clusters were not very interesting. They all look the same, I said, and they’re not really going to be on my dance card.

    So I set my Dwarf II and Dwarf III for long periods to capture all sorts of nebulae and was happy over the course of a year and a half, during which time we volunteered at the Perth Astrofest and showed thousands of people how cool smart telescopes were, and I won an astrophotography prize.

    We got Covid 19 and got great comfort from being able to put our telescopes out by barely leaving our recovery room, and watching the images build. I found by accident while chasing nebulae that some open clusters were quite interesting and beautiful, although nebulae were still where it was at for me.

    We visited the Gravity Discovery Centre for one of their Astronomy Nights, and listened to the Chief Astronomer talk about globular clusters, and how some people thought that they all looked the same.

    Yep that’s me I thought, but I listened and his enthusiasm touched me. Hmm, yes okay I thought, maybe I’ll take a look. Great tour, by the way, recommended.

    So I had a look, and something started ticking away in my mind thoughtfully. These clusters sure are bright I thought. I bet they don’t need much time. Maybe if I lined up a lot of Globular Clusters next to each other, I could see the differences and develop an appreciation of them.

    It might be fun to see just how many clusters I can take in a period of darkness. I’ll have to fudge together a schedule. And thus the inception of the LCF Catalogue- the Leece’s ClusterFudge Catalogue.

    I started testing as to what the shortest period my telescopes could be set for during a scheduled shoot.

  30. Gestern habe ich hier in Sankt Augustin diese Aufnahme des Pferdekopfnebels (Barnard 33) gemacht. Man sieht ihn als dunklen Umriss in der Bildmitte. Links sieht man hell leuchtend den Stern Alnitak, den östlichen der drei Sterne des Orion-Gürtels. Unterhalb von Alnitak ist der Flammennebel (NGC 2024) zu sehen.
    Pferdekopfnebel und Flammennebel sind etwa 1500 Lichtjahre von der Erde entfernt, Alnitak 800 Lichtjahre.

    Straight out of camera for you this morning we have I think probably about 15 frames on the left and just one frame on the right. The frame on the right was taken later, just before it became a mug's game due to that naughty Sun coming up like a bully in the playground.

    Shutter 5 gain 60 as I recall.

  37. Spending the evening gathering photos from M8 (the Lagoon Nebula ) and NGC6530 (sometimes known as Herschel's Cluster.

    The cluster is about 4300ly away while the nebula is about 200ly closer.

    This is very early in the shoot :)
