West Yorkshire AS Picture Gallery: Sun Spots..... WYAS 40th Event 23rd November 2013
http://wyasgallery.blogspot.com/2013/11/sun-spots-wyas-40th-event-23rd-november.html
West Yorkshire AS Picture Gallery. Sun Spots. WYAS 40th Event 23rd November 2013. Never look at the Sun through any Lens based device. Telescope, Camera, Binoculars, WHY! Looking at or near the Sun will cause instant and irreversible damage to your eye. Eye damage is often painless, so there is no warning to the observer that damage has occurred until it is too late. Children should always have adult supervision while observing the sun. Posted by Anthony Mitchell. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

It has an estimated age of 21 million years. The cluster is often referred to as The ET Cluster (due to its resemblance to the movie character), or The Owl Cluster. The two bright stars, magnitude 5 Phi-1 Cassiopeiae and magnitude 7 Phi-2 Cassiopeiae can be imagined as the eyes. 9x300sec Subs, Darks, Flats and Bias.

West Yorkshire AS Picture Gallery: Pluto
http://wyasgallery.blogspot.com/2015/07/pluto.html
West Yorkshire AS Picture Gallery. Taken with an ODK12 on 6.7.15. The camera was a Canon 550D at ISO800. 15 x 60sec was the exposure, all sigma-average stacked in Astroart. No guiding, no flats, no darks and no IDAS filter used. A lucky shot considering how close it was to the southern horizon. Just 11° above it among trees. Pluto looks quite small, but then it would from here on Earth, whereas those Americans used a spacecraft to get their close-ups. Final processing in Photoshop.
