Robotic Telescope Data 2021

Description

 
Gain access to this year’s high quality Robotic Telescope astrophotography data!
With over 30 brand new targets and more still being uploaded, you’ll have lots to choose from. New data will be added until the end of December, 2021. You’ll get first access as soon as we upload new targets!
 
Targets are a combination of CCD (tightly framed mono) and DSLR (wide framed colour images) and include:
  • Fishhead Nebula
  • Sunflower Galaxy
  • Needle Galaxy
  • Bubble Nebula
  • Mars and M45 in conjunction
  • May 2021's Lunar Eclipse
  • Rho Ophiuchi
  • Markarian's Chain
A full list of this year's targets can be found here and is updated as new targets are completed.
The Details
  •  LRGB targets each have 8hrs of data each, while narrowband targets have 20hrs each.
  • The telescope is a 16” RCOS f/8.9  with an SBIG STX 16803 4K camera attached. It also has a Hutech-modified Canon 6D attached to the tube for wide-field imaging.
  • The telescope is located in the Sierra Nevadas in California. Skies are clear, calm and very dark, with much better weather than we get here in Canada.
  • Data is available raw with calibration files in .fits format. We encourage more advanced astroimagers to upload their own calibrated light frames to help out amateur astroimagers. Instructions on how to do this are available in the Google Drive.
  • You must have a Google-enabled email address to access the data. Instructions are available here.
