Thought I would post this picture for Tom, who now owns this telescope.... This telescope took some great astro photographs, I will post some soon.... :o)
|
Found this newspaper clipping in an old dusty book. I wonder what Vega sounded like that night?
|
Earlier this week I was observing the gibbous moon, I noticed what looked like a burning ring of fire to the north of Plato. It turned out to be the crater Fontenelle. The whole rim of this crater was sunlit, giving a wonderful light show down here in Simpson Cross. The main body of the crater was on the terminator, further enhancing the effect of the bright ring.It was mesmerising, I had not seen this event before. This was approximately 6.00 to 6.30p.m. 18/12/07.... the moon was gibbous.I was outside again at 10.00p.m. the effect had lessened, the sun's rays had moved on slightly.As long as I time it right, hopefully in 28 days time +- I will see it again....
|
Finepix f450.....afocal, using my £1.50 pair of binoculars.... :0)
|
Took this with a 60mm refractor.
|
Total Lunar eclipse. 3rd March 2007. Took these images with the Nikon D50, attached to the 6 inch "Event Horizon" reflector.
|
From my astronomy journal....
|
Thanks to our hard disk drive dying, the only pictures I had of the eclipse died with it. Fortunately our son Jack had taken pictures of the eclipse.....this is one of them. Thanks Jack....:-)
|
Can't help putting this one on. Art thou pale for weariness; of climbing heaven and gazing on the Earth; wandering companion less; among the stars that have a different birth, and ever changing like a joyless eye; that finds no object worth its constancy. "To the Moon". Percy Bysshe Shelley
|
Orion is now rising in the evening skies....here comes the winter. Here comes the Orion Nebula...

An old friend.....we celebrate our 32nd anniversary this year!
|
One more from our friend's smallholding back last year. They have no street lights.... WHY DO WE HAVE SO MANY STREET LIGHTS!!! Bring back the night sky!!!!!!
|
This was taken on the 31st May 2006 between 10 and 11 pm (yes very accurate timing...!). As the ISS was passing, I quickly set up the tripod and camera, managed just 5 shots. This was the best of them.
|
Setting Sun from Simpson Cross.
|
09:15 GMT : This eclipse was clouded out completely in Simpson Cross. We rushed towards town in the hope that a sighting would be possible. Luckily in Haverfordwest a brief gap in the clouds allowed two photographs to be taken. The temperature did noticeable drop during the eclipse. Also the birds were singing quietly as they did in the eclipse of 11th August 1999.
|
It had rained the previous day, and this morning the blue sky appeared only long enough to take a few photographs. Didn't think I would get to see this event,......... thank you those cloud free moments.
|
First attempt using one of the ccd surveillance cameras that I bought at a local bootsale, they cost £2.50 each. Dr Steve Wainwright hooked them up to his telescope, using various filters and photostacking software, to produce the above result. The yellow was added later using Paint Shop Pro 7. Thanks Steve....:-) Dr Wainwright is the founder of The Quick Cam and Unconventional Imaging Astronomy Group, QCUIAG for short.
|
Took this photo using a Canon EOS 1000. I was sitting in a camping tent, with the 60mm refractor poking out of the tent flaps. This seemed the best way to capture some contrast in my solar projection.
|
Wasn't sure if I could view the transit, the early morning cloud cover was considerable. Luckily about 9.00am it cleared up nicely....blue skies from that moment on....beautiful transit.
|
Captured this image a few mornings ago. Venus in the morning seems magical to me, possibly because I'm not fully awake at 6.15 am!!. Recently the planet has been dazzling in the eyepiece. Wonderful blues showing up in the eyepiece at high power, thanks to the achromatic lens......though you won't find me complaining about it...:-)

Images from full size A4 posters in Acrobat format extracted from our own and part of the Powerpoint presentations that Bob Mizon and members of the Campaign for Dark Skies have prepared. We are trying to spread the word that Astronomers are not the big bad spiders who like to turn off all the lights making the night dangerous for all. Rather we promote the proper use of lighting so that light is directed down to make the streets safer and the skies darker. Simple really.

In 1998 Dr S. J. Wainwright formed the group to explore the possibilities of capturing night sky objects using simple webcams. The group has over 8000 members worldwide and many have made significant contributions to the astronomy world. Many members have written freeware software - including mine - and have designed and sell cameras that have a much higher dynamic range of colour, that no so much makes the images prettier, but brings out more detail like showing red and blue giant stars.

Our mascot seen here by a lump of Bluestone that originally came from the mountain in the background in 1989
|
This burial chamber is not far from Moylegrove. There is also a giant crack in one of the support stones. Carn Ingli is in the background
|
This burial chamber is one of the very few located in a wood. Note that their are four support stones which might explain the cracks.
|
This stone is one of sixteen stones in the Gors Fawr stone circle located in Mynachlog-Ddu.
|
This stone circle was built recently when Haverfordwest was the location of the Eisteddford.

On a very cold, crisp day, in early January 2006, Fred and I took on Carn Ingli, otherwise known as the Mountain of angels. This image is from the very top and gives a nice 3d effect.
|
Looking North-Westwards with Dinas Head in the background and behind the rocks Fishguard lies.
|
Down at the foot of the mountain lies Newport which has a very diverse and intelligent community, something rare in small towns these days.
|
This ancient stone circle lies in the village of Mynachlog-Ddu. The English translation for the name of the village is 'Monastery of the Black monks'. Apparently the monastery was a kind of borstal for mischievous monks.
|
Looking through the rails down to the river below.
|
Looking across the top of the dam.
|
Another name is the Giants Causeway. Although this isn't actually in West Wales - actually it is in Parkmill on the Gower - it makes a beautiful 3d subject as stone always does.
|
We found that using this kind of 3d photography was ideal for archeological research and as you can see the stones and entrance stand out clearly.
|
This image makes a nice 3d subject, here you can hear the deafining sound of the birds.
|
This image looks outwards northwards, we follow the path round to the bay where the boat picks you up to take you back to Marloes.
|
I thought this would make a good effect with 3d as you have no idea if you are going to fall over the edge :)
|
Of course Strumble lighthouse in the background.
