Several years ago I renewed my interest in astronomy by purchasing a Meade LX90 telescope. I enjoy imaging deep sky objects and maintaining an ongoing journal about them and my processing methods. I hope my enthusiam for my hobby comes through to viewers of this blogsite.

IC5070 Pelican Nebula

This is first light with my new Atik 16hr ccd camera. Once I get past the learning curve, I think this will be an exceptional imaging device. At first I'll be concentrating on all kinds of nebula so expect to see a lot more images in the coming months.
