I am an Astronomer living in East Cheshire near Jodrell Bank.

I have been interested in the hobby since my day's at junior school.

And only started taking a more serious interest during the 1990's, when my local astronomical society, Macc AS, was founded in May 1990.

Since that time. I have owned various telescope's all made locally by a firm in Crewe. Orion Optics.

I now use a modified, Canon 1000D DSLR, & Atik16ic ccd camera.

My main imaging telescope is. A 254mm F4.8 deluxe Newtonian reflector.

I have this mounted to a Losmandy G11, with Gemini GOTO.

I also own a Doublet APO, a William Optics ZS66SD.

I am the Observing director of Macclesfield Astronomical Society.

And I am also a member of.

The British Astronomical Association, The Society for Popular Astronomy & The Webb Deep Sky Society.
