The majority of the Bambury targets were captured with telescopes of Slooh.  Many of the targets are included in the Southern Sky Telescopic (93), Bennett (152), Bright Nebula (28) and Southern Planetary Nebula Observing Programs.   Additionally, all 150 targets from the new Southern Herschel 400 are on the Bambury list.  Again, the links above lead to my logs for these Observing Programs.

 Between visual and imaging targets at least 475/600 are found in other Astronomical League Observing Programs that I'd already done.

Basic information about Slooh telescopes is below.  See the Slooh Scope tab above for even more information on Slooh locations, scopes, presets, and weather/sky condition descriptions.  

Slooh Locations:

Exposure information for the generic preset I generally use for all Slooh images:

 Canary One:  (ten-minute missions)
         3x60 second Luminance with 3x3 binning
        1x50 second R, G, & B with 3x3 binning|
        A low-contrast liner stretch is applied to both
      the delivered luminance image and the merged LRGB image.

Canary Two, Canary Four, Chile One, and Chile Two:
        1x50 second clear (luminance) with 3x3 binning
        1x20 second R, G, & B with 3x3 binning (1x25 seconds for Chile One)
        A low-contrast liner stretch is applied to both
          the delivered luminance image and the merged LRGB image.

Canary Three:
        One shot color with up to 3x90 seconds and 2x2 binning
            A contrast linear stretch is applied to formats and post-processing:

 Slooh saves images in two formats: fits and jpg. Slooh calibrates, stacks, and adjusts gamma based on the preset before saving the image as a jpg. Fits are calibrated, and saved but not stacked. All scope/camera combinations other than the OSC Canary Three usually take single LRGB frames. (see the Slooh information tab for more details)

I used the Slooh-provided jpg whenever possible and resorted to fits files only when image issues occurred (bad tracking, filter wheel failure, mechanical problems).

The images were post-processed with Levels, Curves, and Astronomy Tools in my old version of PhotoShop to bring out more detail in the nebula. I used Noise Ninja to reduce noise in the images. My PhotoShop skills are limited.

 In all images below North is Up and East is to the Left.

 Note: I'm very red/green colorblind so any colors below are probably not what normal vision people see. They look great to me!

As you read through the logs you'll notice that I've included sketches, visual observations, and images from prior observing programs.  I've included separations and position angles measured as part of the Double Star OP, magnitudes measured as part of the various Variable Star OPs, and a 14.2 Ghz scan from the Radio Astronomy OP.  Many of my 10+ year-old visual observations include images I've taken since.  These images show the date, time, location where taken, and scope/camera, but not necessarily information about the actual exposure.  The exposure would be the same for any taken by the same scope/camera combination.  I have zoomed into many of the images to improve visibility. The FOV of the zoomed images is unknown.

Based on their size the images of the Small Magellanic Cloud and Coalsack are mosaics.  The coordinates for the individual images were determined with AstroMosaic, created with MicroSoft's Image Composite Editor (MicroSoft ICE), and post-processed a bit with PhotoShop.
