Astronomy

Astrophotography is a very different technique to any other. The images you see in this gallery are, mostly, a combining of many exposures of the "target" whilst tracking the sky with computerised telescope mounts and then using some specialist software to stack and create the final images. If you are interested in taking up this fascinating hobby, Northern Optics in Scunthorpe are well worth a visit for excellent guidance and very good value. The web site is http://shop.northernoptics.co.uk/

We also have a North Lincs Astro Society which meets on the first Monday of each month at Far Ings National Nature Reserve (near the Humber Bridge). Please see http://www.northlincsastro.org for more details

See my other website https://annexatchurchviewbarn.com/ for details of how to come and stay and spend some time with the observatory.

    Moon rising over Pembrokeshire. This was taken when the moon was just above the horizon and before it disappeared into cloud.
    The great Andromeda Galaxy (M31) is a spiral galaxy very similar in structure to our own galaxy. It lies around 2.5 million light years from the earth, and is the closest galaxy to us. On a clear dark night you can just make out the light from the core of this galaxy with the naked eye (if you know where to look!)
    Another view of M31 Andromeda. This time taken with a Modded camera and around 1 hour of exposure time.
