 Welcome to the
NorwegianBlue Observatory, located at the heart of the National Forest in
central England.
With the
advent of high quality telescopes at affordable prices and the introduction of
specialist CCD imaging equipment, anyone can now take images of the wonders in
our skies. This site is dedicated to showing how I have taken advantage of
these tools to realise a lifetime's ambition to view the night sky.
Photographing and observing objects in our skies, is one of the most
difficult yet most rewarding forms of photography. The rewards can be huge
which just fuels my passion to get more and better images. Seeing the sheer
beauty of what lies above our heads is a fantastic thrill, whether it be the
majestic beauty of another planet, the intricate structure of a supernovae
remnant, planetary nebula or another galaxy, the feeling is absolute
wonder.
These
pages include information about the NorwegianBlue Observatory the telescopes
and the equipment I use. It also contains information about the night sky
objects, how the images are created, and general tips and how-to's. In addition
there's a news section that provides up to date sources of news, relating to
astronomical events, discoveries and space. I do hope you find this website
informative and enjoyable.
