  1. [removed word] 🙁 it’s seems to be working ok this end 🤔
  2. Post flare loop prominence development. 13/2/24 11am NZ time. loops.mp4
  3. I was stunned to see an enormous prom lifting off really quickly today from the northeastern limb. By the time I had sorted out a capture I had missed the start. It’s still my biggest and fastest prom to date 😃 Captured in NZ at 10.30 am local time, 13th Feb 2024 Esprit 80mm Quark chromosphere Player one mars m 76 X 500 frame captures ( best 10% ) with 4 second intervals. Firecapture Imppg Pixinsight Timelapse tool. prom 13 feb.mp4
  4. Ooops…..yes it should…..my bad 🤦🏻‍♂️😂
  5. Continuing with our lovely high pressure system and clear skies here in NZ 😊 SH2-308 The Dolphin head nebula. Located about 4,500 light years from us. The nebula is located in the Canis Major constellation which is high in our sky at the moment. Technicals SW ED80 ZWO ASI1600mm HEQ5 4 hours Oiii filter 2 hours Ha filter Both at 300 second captures. Captured with N.I.N.A. processed with Pixinsight. Captured 6/2/2024
  6. NGC 2264 the Christmas tree nebula, cone nebula, fox fur nebula. SW ED80 ZWO asi1600mm ZWO EAF SW HEQ5 40x300 seconds Ha 40x300 seconds Oiii NINA Pixinsight.
  7. A cloudless morning in Waipawa….. a rarity ! Nothing to do but take some photos of the sun 😊 Sun 7/1/2024 11am NZ Widefield is Lunt 40mm Close shot is SW80ed esprit with quark chromosphere Each is 10% of 3000 frames stacked in astrosurface and processed in imppg and Pixinsight
  8. Absolutely right…..I have a fairly nasty northern outlook from my place….street lights, houses etc and M33 never gets above about 20 degrees…..hence my surprise and smile 😊
  9. Messier 33, The Triangulum Galaxy. This is the third of my wine night pics and the one that surprised me the most. Only a tiny 35 minutes of data and yet it still gives up lovely detail. The Triangulum Galaxy is one of the closest of our galaxy neighbours at a mere 2.73 million light years from earth. Our local group of galaxies consists of M33, M31 the Andromeda Galaxy and our own Milky Way. They are gravitationally bound and headed our way. Look forward to a spectacular collision in about 4 billion years. SW150PDS HEQ5 Canon 6d 35x60 seconds Backyard eos Pixinsight
  10. Less than an hour on M42 the great Orion Nebula last night. Sometimes this hobby goes smoothly and sometimes the wheels fall off a bit….last night the wheels were very wobbly and not helped by a bottle of wine 🤪 With such limited data plus short exposures of 60 seconds and unguided…..and with my dslr….we’ll, I’m pretty stoked with the result 😊 Skywatcher 150pds HEQ5 Canon 6d
  11. Nice work Carole 👍👍🤩🤩 many thanks for contacting the site producer. its the best fov calculator I’ve come across 👍👍👍
  12. Hi All, Maybe not quite the right forum for this question but it seemed the most apt. I use the Blackwater imaging toolbox on their website as I find it the best one available. Over the last couple of days I’ve noticed that I can’t get on the website. Does anyone know anything about this ? Cheers, Andy
  13. Capture number 2 from Friday night. I managed 3 targets on Friday due to the constraints of my view of the northern sky. This is the longest capture and I’m pretty pleased. NINA wasn’t playing ball with me on Friday so I tried to manually dither to reduce walking noise with my 6d and it worked rather well 👍 M45 Sw 150pds HEQ5 Canon 6d 95x60 seconds Backyard eos Pixinsight
