Astronomical Images from the DBO

Welcome to my home page of astronomical images.

Although I have been taking images of the night sky and its wonders since 2001, it wasn't until the completion of my fixed observatory, the DBO, in August of 2005, that I've been able to maximise every opportunity, and share my images with anyone who cares to show an interest.

I'm based in Truro in Cornwall, where the Gulf Stream hits the United Kingdom. A meeting that conspires to make both visual and CCD astronomy........shall we say a challenge!

Although all the images I have taken to date are on the website, I hope to add further sections with content from various sources that have helped me along my imaging journey.

Anyway I hope you enjoy the images, as I image my way through the Cosmos.
