Welcome. This site shows my night sky photos and the equipment I use to take them. The pages includes images of planets, the Moon, nebula, star clusters and galaxies taken from my back yard. Light pollution is a problem because I live in a Bortle Class 7 zone. My suburban location is within a few kilometres of the oldest observatory in the world Newgrange, Co Meath and even closer to the very distinguished Dunsink observatory in North Dublin.
I have been taking these photos over the last few years as I acquired some equipment and slowly learned how to set it up and use it. The quality of the images reflects my progress. I hope to add more and better photos as my learning and equipment improves. I am a member of the Irish Astronomical Society
