My interest in astronomy started way back at school when
I did a short project on astronomy. I managed to get hold of a 60mm cheap
refractor, and can still remember the thrill I got from looking at the moon
and finding Saturn for the first time. Astronomy was put on hold for a few
years until in the late 90s, comet Hale Bopp graced our skies. This rekindled
astronomy for me and since then has grown to owning 4 telescopes, along
with my own observatory in my garden, which now houses my 14 inch Newtonian
reflector. (I am astronomy mad). I enjoy all types of astrophotography and
CCD imaging, as well as visual astronomy and all subjects from planets,
comets, solar, and deep sky. I am also a member of the BAA and SPA. |

My other interests are my family, I have four children,
3 boys and 1 girl and they take up a lot of my free time. I have done a
few different jobs in my career but nearly all have been engineering based
jobs, I currently run a small building business. Other interest include
photography, architecture, history and antiques |
