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.

    An image of Star Trails over Pembrokeshire. This image comprises around 4 hours and 20 minutes of images, showing how much the earth moves around the Pole Star ( in the centre of the circle) in that time.
    Latest close up of the Orion Nebula.
    The "North America Nebula" (NGC7000) named after it's shape. This lies around 2500 light years away from the earth, in the Milky Way, near the star "Deneb". The colour is an interstellar cloud of ionizer hydrogen. This was an image taken with a modified camera on the back of a telescope I own. A total of 1 hour 3 minutes exposure time.
