I'm a retired Physicist/Computer Engineer enjoying the good life in rural Devon under Bortle 3/4 skies. I now have my dream setup complete - CEM70/Tak Baby-Q/ASI294MM-PRO and hope to build an observatory of some sort over the next year or so.

I've always had a passion for space and astronomy, growing up during the space race and Apollo Moon landings. I've only recently been able to fulfil my passion by starting astrophotography after photographing Comet Neowise in July 2020 with my DSLR on a standard tripod. This spurred me into taking up the hobby seriously.

I started with a Skywatcher Star Adventurer tracker with my Canon DSLR and 100-400mm lens. I then began planning to build a serious imaging system, starting with an Equatorial mount. I acquired my iOptron CEM70 in December 2020 and experimented with my Canon gear and my old Celestron Nexstar 5SE. I then built a mounting system, using the Primaluce Lab PLUS system, for my Canon 600mm f4 lens. I had some success shooting with my Canon DSLR and introduced an Astromechanics focuser to improve my focusing, using APT to control the mount and camera from an old laptop.

The next step was to move to a telescope and cooled astro camera. I bought my ASI533MC-Pro in March 2021 followed by my Takahashi FSQ-85EDX Baby Q in August 2021. I now have my first mono camera, an ASI294MM-Pro with a ZWO filter wheel and ZWO filters.
