Messier 31 - The Andromeda Galaxy, located so far away the light has been travelling for 2.5 million years to reach us. A quick image of 9x 90s exposures for a total of 13.5 minutes. A Dwarf Mini telescope with the default astro filter was used. #astronomy #astrophotography #andromeda #galaxy

"Cygnus Wall" The Cygnus Wall is this bright feature that forms part of the North America Nebula. The name refers to the shape of this region of ionised hydrogen gas. This was my 1st deep sky target with a Dwarf Mini telescope, recording 30 images each of 90s, so 45 minutes total exposure time.

Published in #RASTI RAS Techniques & instruments: "RHINO: a large horn antenna for detecting the 21 cm global signal", Bull et al. This is Fig. 1: to read the paper please visit academic.oup.com/rasti/articl... @oxfordacademic.bsky.social @royalastrosoc.bsky.social

(Left): Dimensions of the pyramidal horn that was selected as the reference design. The flare section has an aperture of 7.3 x 6.0 m, an edge slant length of 5.099 m, and an overall vertical height of 4.3 m. The rectangular waveguide section has an aperture of m and a height of 2.997m. The horn will be static, pointing at zenith, and will have a welded mesh conductive surface. The location of the feed is marked on the waveguide. (Right): Detailed design drawing showing the multipanel construction, consisting of 2.4 x 1.2 m mesh panels cut to size/shape and welded into steel angle frames. These are then bolted together to form a self-supporting structure.
