The Pleiades (M45): A 1 hour integration of part of M45 using an Atik 320e CCD OSC camera attached to an Altair 60 EDF doublet refractor. The scope was driven by an HEQ5 Pro mount, guided by a Player One Apollo-M Mini camera attached to an SVBony SV165 guide scope using PHD2 within NINA. Data integrations using matching darks, flats and Bias files were done in Pixinsight.
The Flame and Horsehead nebulae (IC434 & Barnard 33): A 2 hour integration of the Flame and Horsehead nebulae using an Atik 320e CCD OSC camera attached to an Altair 60 EDF doublet refractor. The scope was driven by an HEQ5 Pro mount, guided by a Player One Apollo-M Mini camera attached to an SVBony SV165 guide scope using PHD2 within NINA. Data integrations using matching darks, flats and Bias files were done in Pixinsight.
Geminid meteors: A Sony ZV E10 camera was fitted with a 23mm F1.4 Sigma lens and mounted on an MSM tracker to take 30s time-lapse images to try to capture some Geminid meteors close to the annual peak of the meteor shower. Despite taking almost 300 images, just two meteors were recorded and both of those were capture din in a single frame. Many more meteors were observed with naked eyer during the imaging runs; but in different areas of the sky to which the camera was pointed.
