Visual observing of galaxies, nebulae and star clusters

Welcome

Welcome to my website and thanks for dropping by!
This is about my interest in visual deep sky astronomy and has observations, sketches, my astronomy travels, the odd article or two plus links to other astronomy websites. It’s a work in progress so please keep coming back.
You can find out more about me on the ‘About‘ page but, in short, I live on the Isle of Wight, just off the coast of southern England, and I am an avid deep sky observer using an 18 inch f/4.3 dob.

 

 

 

 

NB – For easier reading the page size can be increased by holding down the Ctrl key and using the mouse scroll wheel, or by pressing Ctrl and the keyboard ‘+’ key to increase the size, ‘-’ to decrease it and ’0′ to return to normal (Firefox, Opera, Chrome and Internet Explorer) or by using the zoom function in Opera. Zooming too much, however, will decrease the quality of photos and sketches.

Latest update 14th May 2013 – Links edited. Also, I have added a drop-down menu of blog post archives at the foot of the page.

Blog (usually!) updated more regularly.
