Deep Sky Imaging Session - December 27, 2025

The sky past midnight cleared up a bit for me to get a 2 hour decent image of NGC2244 Rosette Nebula with the Dwarf 3 and using Stellar Studio to auto process the image itself as well as stacking it. Not bad IMHO when you are tired but I will reprocess this image later after getting some rest.

Lunar Imaging Session - December 26, 2025

The sky this evening is hazy and many clouds as well so I decided to just take a picture of the Quarter Moon using Dwarf 3 Smart Scope at Astro Mode with VIS Filter at AZ Mode. Stack of 20 images at 1/400 sec exposure at Gain 0.

Deep Sky Imaging Session- December 25, 2025

Merry Christmas everyone! Got to see some opening this early evening for me to reimage M31 Andromeda Galaxy with my trusty Dwarf 3 Smart Scope and was able to get around 1 hr 19 mins before clouds rolled in to end my session. Since today is Christmas Day so I'm in Garfield mode and just allow Stellar Studio to do its magic on this beautiful object without the need for my external image processing software anymore. Not bad is what I can say on this beauty even under bortle 8 sky.

Solar Imaging Session - December 14, 2025

The sky this afternoon is partly cloudy and I was able to do a quickie image of the Sun using the Dwarf 3 Smart Scope. The Sun is again back to quiet mode after the giant AR4296 & AR4294 exit the western limb.

Deep Sky Imaging Session - December 12-13, 2025

The sky late evening is partly clear and I setup my Dwarf 3 Smart Scope to image M31 and M42 as practice run in preparation for upcoming deepe sky imaging session in Tanay. Unfortunately, M31 is already low in the NE horizon thus I was only able to get a measly 14 mins intergration time only before I got obstructed. I was able to get a better integration time on M42 Orion Nebula with an hour worth of exposures. Both objects were imaged using Astro Filter. I was also able to image IC434 Horsehead Nebula using ZWO ASI294 MC PRO Astro Camera on Borg 76ED Refractorwith 0.8x reducer and 42 mins of integration time before I got clouded out. Anyway, this session is more or less testing my imaging rig dry run before our upcoming session under the darker skies of Tanay.

Lunar Imaging Session - December 6, 2025

The sky this evening is partly cloudy but I was able to image the Waning Gibbous Moon using my Dwarf 3 Smart Scope at Astro Mode with VIS Filter at AZ Mode. Seeing is 3 / 5 .

Lunar Imaging Session - December 5, 2025

The sky this evening is partly cloudy and I image the Waning Gibbous Moon through a small cloud opening using my Dwarf 3 Smart Scope at Astro Mode with VIS Filter at AZ Mode. Stacked of 20 images at 1/1000 sec exposure at Gain 0.
