I am an amateur astronomer living in sunny Somerset, in the South-West of England. I live at the edge of a town, so I get reasonable views.

After I had a hard disk crash , I thought it might be prudent to store some of the images I have taken over the last few years with various telescope and cameras.

Although my technique has improved with practice I still regard myself as a relative beginner. If only the weather would be better!

I haven't always included the settings I used for the images, as due to my hard disk crash I can't remember what they were in all instances. I must keep better records in future (and do more regular back-ups).

I try to do periodic updates to my image gallery. Got some pictures of Mars in 2005 and 2007, and some reasonable ones of Saturn in 2006 . Now that I have captured half decent images of most of the planets (and a comet!) I want to try and do a bit more on Deep-Sky Objects.  Not great for planets anyway for a few years as Jupiter is too low from the Northern Hemisphere, Mars won't be back for a while, and Saturns rings are almost edge on.
