Welcome to my Astronomy Website

Today's Image

M82

Slooh has started producing test images from its new 1/2 metre telescope on Mt Teide. Here is one of the first images made available to the public. I have adjusted it a little for noise reduction and contrast and this is only a small part of the total image. Impressive eh?

CCD Astrophotography

Several different cameras are in use with a Meade 8" LX200. The Image Gallery shows some of my results, (both good and bad!). The Tutorial provides some basic information about CCD Astrophotography and image processing.

Numerical Integration of Orbits

Experiments with numerical integration provide a simulator that shows a variety of orbital behaviour in the Solar Systems and beyond.

Planetary Nebula

A collection of Planetary Nebula images taken with my own equipment or SLOOH.

 

Cosmic Theories

From Aristotle to Newton - animated pictures of the cosmic theories that existed in the days before Newtonian mechanics.

 

Systemic

Systemic is a project to research the behaviour of extrasolar planets. Here you can run a gravity simulation based on a "fit" file produced by the systemic console.

AAPOD

Here is the Amateur Astronomy Picture of the Day (AAPOD) from Astronomy.FM. Why not join this new friendly Astronomy forum at Astronomy.FM.
