Six Easy Pieces...

[AKB]

... no, not Richard Feynman's book on physics of the same title, but six little bits (well, quite large, actually) of astro-physics.  All taken from last night's session (25-Feb-2019.)  Haven't we been lucky over the last few days ?!

Anyway:  all taken whilst playing with my new ASI294 Pro (OSC, cooled) on a Quattro 8CF, and I'm really not liking the star shapes I'm getting.  Collimation is very good, but perhaps this is tilt ... also some strange reflections?  Suggestions welcomed.

Nevertheless, it was a joy just to scan the sky and pick up some brief images (of dubious quality, and quickly processed.)  But it was fun.

These can't really be called serious images, but I was at a loss where else to post them, since they're a bit too long for EAA.

 

M42 (30 x 1 minute)

Rosette (12 x 5 minutes)

Leo Trio (5 x 5 minutes)

Bode + friend (27 x 1 minute)

M51 (15 x 2minutes)

M63 (5 x 5 minutes... getting tired at this stage!)

 

If you've enjoyed it half as much as I have, then I've enjoyed it twice as much as you
