The Sky at Night Update.

Last night was an amazing night for me and the society http://www.brecklandastro.org.uk/. For the second time now we played host to the sky at Night crew to take part in Aprils show that pays homage to the Hubble space telescope and it's 25 years of service. The focus of the show will be the iconic images produced by hubble. The club members had selected thier own favourite & best images for targets that hubble has imaged and the crew selected a few for the show. Richard's, Bob's and my own images were selected. We each done a piece to camera answering questions from Pete Lawrence. Living in hope they don't end up on the cutting room floor. The show will be broadcast on April 12th on BBC4

The Sky At Night

Our society http://www.brecklandastro.org.uk/ will once again play host to the Sky at night team. Hopefully the weather will hold for some observing. I hope to show the team some of my deep images showing the mag 20+ galaxies & quasars I have captured. The topic is Hubble's "Deep field" to coinside with it's 25th anniversary. I hope they will be interested. Watch this space for an update.

Solar eclipse or not........

Diary entry for March 21st 2015 just reads "Bugger"

Alas the weather as usual blotted out ANY view at all of the solar eclipse. Right on cue at 11.30 the skies cleared to reveal what the remainder of a lovely spring day. I am of course disappointed that I didn't get to see anything. However I get get some pics of the Jan 4th 2011.

 

 So at least this post is totally wasted.
