Welcome
Welcome to my website. 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.
Feel free to contact me at info@fjastronomy.com (the link is inactive, to prevent spam, so you’ll need to copy and paste it into your email client). However, please don’t send me requests for the inclusion of non-astronomy links or any other irrelevant stuff, as they will be deleted and you will not get a reply.
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.
If the page comes up with a DNS error or a 503 error just reload it. These errors usually just means the server is busy.
