Solar Eclipse 2025
A first for me to image the partial solar eclipse seen across the globe on Saturday 29th March 2025. Using my Nikon DSLR, a Tamron 70-300mm lens, solar filter and a tracking mount I was able to image over the course of the eclipse. This a single image taken at the maximum coverage at 11:04 local time.
Back in the game!
New Astrophotography
Three new astrophotography images uploaded today; Jellyfish Nebula, Heart Nebula and Orion Nebula. I will write a longer blog post detailing these images.
Animal photography
It isn't all about astrophotography on this website. I have perhaps neglected adding animal images, mainly because there is a lot to work through but today, I at least have made a start! Today's upload is from BirdWorld. I'll be adding a blog post which will supplement this upload.

New astro images added
To the left is the Veil Nebula, the ionised gas of a supernova event some 10-20,000 years ago. Also uploaded a new capture of the California Nebula. I previously imaged this with my DSLR but now I have data from the astro camera. Check them out via the button below!

Flaming Star and Tadpoles nebula
An updated edit of the Flaming Star nebula in the bottom left and the Tadpoles nebula upper right. Although they look like they sit side by side, there is some 11,000 light years between them, the Flaming star being 1500 ly away and Tadpoles 12500 ly away.

IC1396 - Elephant Trunk Nebula
Situated 2400 light years from Earth in the constellation of Cepheus, this nebula gets its informal name from the trunk like tendril rising from the bottom of the nebula.

NGC7000 - North America Nebula
Astrophotography opportunities have been scarce of late and there are dwindling opportunities for nebula photography at this time of year but one nebula is becoming more visible, the North America Nebula is the constellation of Cygnus. Neary 6 hours of material in this picture.
New sunset images
La Palma Sunsets
Our view of the sunsets on La Palma in the Canary Islands was from about 3000 feet above sea level, giving us a unique view of clouds below and above us, which gave rise to some stunning vistas.

NGC2238 - Rosette Nebula
Re-edit of the Rosette Nebula using the "Hubble palette" of extracting Ha (hydroogen alpha) and OIII (oxygen3) to create a different colour from the usual red colour emitted by many emission nebula.
