Been working on this for a while now but finally got a decent chunk of it to show. Semies 147 is a very feint and big (3 degrees across) nebula in Taurus that went supernova around 40 - 50,000 years ago. I have now completed 44 hours worth of exposure over 4 panes stitched together . To do it all will require 50 or 60 hours so for now this is ny effort. Will carry on in late summer onwards to do it all though!

I was delighted to get shortlisted for the Astronomy Photographer of the year 2013 at the Greenitch Royal Observatory for my image of the Cone Nebula!

I also did my first public talk at Norwich Astronomical Society entitled " Imaging, a learning curve" which went down very well im relieved to say.

Now crawled back under my rock to settle down and get on with what I love the best, astro imaging!

Entered my Wizard Nebula image to the Oxford astro competition and came up trumps!

Recieved this email today.

 

Thank you for entering our photo competition with your shot of the Wizard Nebula. We had around 25 really impressive entries, which formed a beautiful display on the day. 
 
I'm pleased to inform you that your photo was one of three shortlisted in the 'Astro Phenomena' category, congratulations. It was also voted the most popular over both categories by those that attended the event on the day, so you are the 'People's Choice' winner. We have prizes for winning entries, so I would be grateful if you could reply with a postal address to which we can send yours. Also, we would like to post all shortlisted entries on our astroblog, so the public can see the winning entries. Are you happy for us to do this?
 
Once again, congratulations, and thank you for your entry.
