A couple of Perseid meteor shots. Not brilliant, not had much luck so far this year but will keep trying.

Thursday 5 August 2010




Sunspots on 5 August 2010 2 days after the big Coronal Mass Ejection that lead to the spectacular Aurora display on Tuesday night, which I couldn't see because of cloud cover, typical!

M27 rework


M27 again. Same lights and darks as the earlier one just been reworked in CS2 to bring out more detail.

M27 taken using my new IV Field Flattener. Not a brilliant shot only 12 light frames of 120 seconds (clouds ruined play) taken using W/O Megrez 102 and a Canon EOS450D camera.
The field flattener has certainly done its job, no coma on the stars at the edge of the frame. This is a full frame photo there has been no cropping whatsoever done to this.
