The Lord of the Rings

This was taken through my TAL 2M 150mm reflector with a Toucam Pro II webcam at prime focus, the resulting image was stacked and processed from 5 frames. It's just a shame the barlow lens I've got is too long for the webcam to be in focus, so I'll have to consider my options on that. As I'll need a longer focal length to get more resolution on Saturn....

Transit of Venus 2004

As I don't seem to have any of my images of the transit of Venus on the web, I thought the blog would be as good a place as any to post them. I'm also planning on publishing more of my astrophotography stuff at some point in the future. Most of it needs scanning and my old log book needs modernising and being tied up with the images so it probably won't be for a few weeks....
