About me

Location Diss, Norfolk, United Kingdom
Introduction I am a member of the Breckland Astronomical Society in Norfolk. The society has a 20" AltAz Newtonian reflector which is computer controlled, a 9.25" Celestron SCT and an 8" Celestron SCT, both of which are on GOTO mounts, and a 4" Vixen refractor. In addition we have recently purchased a DMK planetary imaging camera and an Atik 383 deep sky camera..We have a very active astrophotography group that meets on Tuesdays at the observatory. In addition to using the society's equipment, I have a 10" Meade SNT for deep sky and planetary imaging and a QHY5L-II camera primarily for planetary imaging. For digital imaging I use a Canon EOS500D DSLR camera. I recently purchased a Robtics ED80 refractor for both deep sky and planetary imaging.
