Hello All,

A SGL member (Anthony) pointed me in the direction of this forum.

My name is Mike Deegan and I image from my Back garden in Swindon.

My main intrest is astroimaging and have been at it about 3 years (which is the equivalent to about 6 months in any other hobby, what with the weather :lol:)

Here is one of my latest images.

And a link to my best luna image to date

Details for these images and my setup can be found on my website.

Looking forward to taking part. :D

Mike.

How do you cope with the light pollution in Swindon? I'm 12 miles away and we get some of Swindon's lurid glow out in the sticks here in Ramsbury.

Hi.

I bet you have some very nice skies out there. :shock:

The LP is a problem but it can be dealt with to a degree in post processing.

I have a Ha filter on order which should help when imaging the fainter nebular and if the LP is really bad I turn to the Moon and planets. :D

Visual is not a problem as I don't do any. :D

I have found a dark site on a farm/camp site on Clench Common (just Southwest of Marlborough) where I can just pay for the power used, but Haven't been able to get free time and the weather to cooperate as yet :lol:

Mike.

Hi Mike,

A warm welcome, only just stumbled on your introduction!!! But had good fun hunting down all the images you've posted. I did not manage to get the lunar eclipse animation to work yet though. I'll keep trying

All the best - any M51 colour yet?

Anthony
