Masters of PixInsight + SWOS World-Class Imaging Data, Now Available to Our Subscribers Masters of PixInsight is proud to partner with SWOS (Stan Watson Observatory South) to bring our subscribers access to some of the finest deep-sky imaging data in the world. About SWOS Located under the pristine skies of the Chilean Andes, SWOS is equipped with a PlaneWave 24” CDK telescope mounted on a PlaneWave L-600 direct drive mount, paired with a Moravian C5 or SBIG 16803 camera. At 2x2 binning, the system delivers an extraordinary 0.39 arcseconds per pixel, making it possible to capture the finest details of galaxies, nebulae, and star clusters in the southern hemisphere. In addition to Chilean data, we're also offering data sets from the old SWOS observatory in New Mexico. Data was acquired with a 24” PlaneWave, PlaneWave A200HD mount, SBIG 16803; 17” PlaneWave, PlaneWave A200HD mount, and SBIG 16803. This observatory is managed by award-winning astrophotographer, Mark Hanson (hansonastronomy.com ), known worldwide for his dedication to quality and his stunning astrophotography portfolio. *These data sets are not included in our 'MoP Complete' subscription plans, and are available as a separate purchase.
