45cm telescope scenery.

45cm telescope scenery. Last night, the polar alignment of the equatorial mount was performed for the first time in 5 years in order to improve the period deck motion of star tracking and improve the accuracy of automatic introduction. Equatorial mounts that are not aligned with the polar axis are out of the basics! The telescope landscape has been HDR processed to deceive the surroundings.

ISS

2021-01-20   After 5:25 pm when the sun set, observe the passage of the ISS from southwest to northeast at the nearby Kume rice field. The sunset in the southwest was very beautiful and I was able to enjoy the ISS with a wonderful composition of the moon and Mars.

Planetary nebulae in winter

NGC2392 (Eskimo Nebula) NGC3242 (NGC 3242) NGC2438 (Puppis) Both are small and dark objects with a size of 40 “to 1′, such as M = 10, but with a 45 cm telescope, I can watch the colors and enjoy watching at them. Since they are small objects, its increased them to 200%.

M1

M1 2021-01-11 45cm F / 4 Newtonian 2 x Barlow I extended it to twice the focal length and took a image of M1. If itgood seeing, its can see the filament well. The finest light star is still impossible to separate.

LP 540-5 High proper-motion Star

LP 540-5 High proper-motion Star Can you see the fast-moving stars of proper motion that I took the other day? I tried it with two of my star friends. I used a 5mm eyepiece and looked at it at 367x with 45cm newtonian telescope, but we couldn’t confirm the target star of the faint star because of the bad seeing, so it was carried over to the next time. Can you see it visually? Please. This is the material image of this time.

Hubble’s Variable Nebula-2

Hubble’s Variable Nebula-2 A friend of mine who saw the NGC2261 image pointed out that there is a large star with proper motion compared to the image taken with Paloma-5m telescope (1948). If you look at the Paloma image, Subaru Telescope (1999), and 2021, you can see the movement of stars for 73 years!

M42 (Orion Nebula)

M42 (Orion Nebula) 45cm Newtonian reflector F / 4 coma collector 60s x 10 sheets   UV / IR cut filter ASI071MC Pro Gain 0 -10 degrees This is a test image of a cooling color camera that arrived at the end of last year. The cooling camera is the first in 15 years, but the latest one has no fan vibration. Although it has an ASP-sized angle of view, the current 45 cm reflector is good because Low light loss at the edge of the field of viewi. ASI color cameras have high green sensitivity but are within the adjustment range.
