Thankyou. It was a combination of 9 nights, so a lot of data to stack and process. It is a 2 panel mosaic as the FOV was too wide for my scope. NINA framing tool perfect to set it up

Completed an imaging project I had been working on since November - the Flaming Star and Tadpole Nebulae. These are around 1500 light years away from earth.

This took 4 nights to capture, adding to the 5 nights from late 2023

2 clear nights this week gave me a chance to image the Jellyfish nebula, which is the remains of a supernova explosion that happened approx 35,000 years ago. It is 5000 light years from earth.

This took around 10 hours to capture.

ITFC v Manchester Utd at Portman Rd. Great performance by Ipswich - we deserved more from the game.

Thankyou, yes it's been built up over the years. Be nice to have a sliding roof observatory to fit around it !

Scope set-up last night...clouds stopped play sadly. Hoping Bluesky gives us a better perspective of the planet and beyond
