Title: Mark's Updated Website
Post by: MarkS on Dec 11, 2014, 19:14:22
I've updated my website to include 2013 and 2014
http://www.markshelley.co.uk/Astronomy/

If it doesn't load up with 2014 then reload the page.

Let me know of any obvious errors.

That's looking really good Mark, I really like your early section with some of your heath Robinson stuff. I especially like the lunar eclipse images from Kenya.

To be honest, the early days were when I had the most fun with astrophotography.  Everything was completely new to me and I really didn't know what I was doing.  It was so exciting just to get any image at all!  The equipment wasn't up to it, the optical aberrations were extreme but I didn't worry about such things back then.  :D

Ah I remember it well, modified webcam, 10 images a night, a glut of dust bunnies, but who cared, very exciting
