Great night for planet spotting. Really nice stable conditions. Also got a quick pic of M51 single frame 500sec. M51 no filter 500sec. Also got a really nice plot of NSVS 01286630 Orbit 11499 primary eclipse. Mag against time 170 images at 60 sec […] Not the usual view of the moon.. Taken with my phone! Partial eclipse How to Get Started With Astronomy While on a Shoestring Budget Thanks for writing this handy guide.. Now in the LINKS page. Binary star measurement. Using the time variations of the eclipses we are able to calculate the orbit of possible companion objects big enough to have an effect on the orbital period of the binary pair. The picture below is the plot of light magnitude from the binary pair. The timing of this minima is […] A star 465 Light years away from earth. Has a planet around it that was first confirmed in 2012. So I thought I would use my observatory to look at the transit of that planet. A very small dip in the light from the star. HAT-P-12b planet Unfortunately I could not get the entry […] The Veil Nebula is a cloud of heated and ionized gas and dust in the constellation Cygnus.A supernova remnant, many portions of which have acquired their own individual names and catalogue identifiers. The source supernova was a star 20 times more massive than the Sun, which exploded around 8,000 years ago. The distance to […] Eclipse of the moon I have included a sample TEMP file for the ObsMGr10. This gives you the file naming conventions I have used for Master Darks and Flats: MD30B1 for example is a 30 sec master dark binned 1X1 For the flats the names are more obvious except that after L,R,G,B I have used filter slot numbers. eg […] Ok As requested the new Observation manager and Script Runner for Astroart 7.0 with all the new automation features for preprocessing and time series variable image collection and processing now available. You will also need a temp file on the desktop for all your images and log files. You can put this anywhere as long […] This is Halnaker Tunnel near Chichester. Really photogenic tree lined tunnel
