M13 - 25th May 2009
20 minutes worth of images, uncropped. C9.25 prime focus & guided with PHD.
Although the seeing wasn't very good, I think it turned out OK :-)

M13 colour version from quick 2500ISO test.
Two versions using slightly different processing techniques.

Test shot of M13.
21 x 10sec frames using Canon 50D @ 2500ISO.
C9.25 prime focus, unguided.
I had problems with the colour, so I converted it to B&W.

Ceres - 19th & 20th May 2009
I managed to capture the dwarf planet Ceres the other night. Well, over two nights.
I found its position in RA & DEC using my copy of Celestrons 'The Sky' and the scopes GOTO to get it into the field of view. It was to the edge of the first image, but I didn't know at the time because I wasn't sure what point of light was what.
This is the closest that it will be for a 1000 years!
I hope to use my C9.25 and DMK to get a clearer view later, weather permitting.

The Moon in the mist.
Took this tonight just after the Sun went down. Twas a bit misty but I'm quite pleased with the results.
Canon 50D on the Takahashi Sky 90 with a 2.5x TV Powermate, 23 images stacked in Registax 5.0 and adjusted in CS4.
Blogger sometimes reduces picture sizes, so here's the original.
