Equipment:Over
the years the equipment I've used has changed as I found the objects I
was most interested in images. Although I still image and draw planets
and the moon, I am very interested in merging galaxies which you'll
find on the Arp page. The other topic I'm interested in is spectroscopy. | |

This was my first telescope which I owned in the UK, without motors, but it still gave good images of planets and the moon. | |
These were the first cameras I started using. I mainly imaged planets and the moon with these. | |
My DSLR I used for widefield images and my first attempt at imaging a deep space object - M42, along with the Orion ten inch telescope. | |
With my C6 and guidescope I began imaging Arps - merging galaxies.. My camera at first was a starlight MX916, then I moved up to a starlight H9, with a co-star camera for guiding. | |
This is my current roll off roof observatory, sitting in the middle of the vegetable patch. | |
I use this set up for imaging the spectra of stars, it is a C9.25, with an atik camera for the main camera and the co-star for off-axis guiding. Both are attached to an alpy spectroscope. |
