I prepared two Windows wallpapers from my image of the Sinus Iridum.

First Post



Well I've taken the plunge and started a Blog. My hobby is astronomy and this blog covers all things astronomical. I own a 200mm Skywatcher Dobson reflector which I mainly use from the rooftop of my house. Although not the best setup for photography, I do manage to take photos of the moon and the brighter planets.

This is one of my better attempts. A photo of the Sinus Iridum "Bay of Rainbows" on the moon taken on the 8th May 2006 at 20:08 UTC. I used a 10mm with a 2 x Barlow on the 200mm dobson reflector. I chose the best two images and stacked with registax.
