Robs Astronomy Pages
Welcome to my Astronomy pages - here you'll find out about my passion (some would say obsession) for Astronomy. I'll try and describe what I do, how I do it, with what I do it and "showcase" the results.
I am a member of many on-line discussion groups - if you are anything like me, these will be an endless source of info, stimulation and constructive criticism. I heartily recommend that you visit - even if you don't have the respective kit (yet!!):

This is a Yahoo group set up by Dr Steve Wainwright to "share experience, ideas and results of astronomical imaging by means of unconventional electronic imaging devices such as web cams and surveillance video cameras." This group has pioneered some of the now famous techniques in modifying relatively inexpensive capture devices to rival the professionally produced equipment.

The UK Astroimaging forum - This is a lively group - full of banter as well as extremely useful information from some talented and committed (well, they should be) people. A place to share pictures, discuss project's (including home observatories) and to generally chat things Astronomical - or not. |
