NGC281 the Pacman Nebula

5/1/2018

0 Comments

 
Picture
The Pacman nebula (NGC281) is a target that I have always considered to be very boring, with a very flat central area. In most cases (including my previous attempts) it's been very solid looking. I decided to give this another go and see if I could make something better of it than I had previously........ This is 30 hours worth of data, taken with the TMB152/1200, Mesu 200 and QSI690 with 3nm Chroma Ha, OIII and SII filters.

Globular clusters aren't boring!

12/8/2017

Picture
Before this year I had never imaged a globular cluster..... How boring they are I thought, clusters of stars and they must all look the same! Well, how wrong I was. I have now imaged 4 of them and all during periods of full moon - So they are excellent in giving you stuff to image and fill in the gaps for the moon cycle.

The four I have imaged here are hugely different in size and density,despite having been imaged using the same equipment..... I shall never find a glob boring again!!!!
