Hi everyone, I hope you’re well! The skies have not been kind to many of us lately, but here’s hoping for clearer skies soon! Ive heard that recently a few people have been complaining about YouTube not notifying people when they upload their videos!
That got me thinking, I’m not sure that everyone has had notifications of my last two videos that I have published in the last 2weeks! If this is a problem with YouTube, apparently if you untick the notification bell, then re-tick it, it should fix the problem! If you are not getting notifications, Please untick the bell, then re-tick it and hopefully that will solve the issue! Many thanks for your continued support and I wish you all clear skies!!

Hi everyone, I hope you’re getting plenty of clear skies! I have a question! What kind of astrophotography are you more interested in? I want to try and make more videos tuned towards ‘your’ kind of Astro. Are you more into deep Sky, or DSLR astro landscape type of photography, (milkyway, star trails etc.) Please let me know what you would like to see more of!
What’s your passion? Let me know! Thanks for your support, all the best!

Hi everyone, hope you’re getting plenty of clear skies! I went out for my latest video with my DSLR’s and tripods to a fairly local tidal river to photograph some old boats! The night was a real struggle, I had camera focussing issues, there were lots of clouds, fireworks going off and then rain! But I struggled through and still got an image! What have been your biggest astrophotography struggles? And did you still get the shot? Let me know! And you can check out my latest video to see how I got on! Thanks and clear skies!

Hi everyone! As I’m sure you’re aware, tomorrow, there is a partial eclipse of the sun.
As you might also know, I’ve never done any solar imaging before, and neither have I ever live streamed before! So, like a fool, I’ve decided to do both😀 So if you want to see me attempt my first ever live stream, capturing the eclipse, then please tune in at 10am! If nothing else, you should get a laugh 🤣 Clear skies

Hi everyone! Last weekend I was lucky enough to take a trip to the Practical Astronomy Show at Stoneleigh Park. And what a fantastic show it was, I met up with some old friends and fellow astrophotographers, and met some new! None other than @Astrobiscuit himself 😀I videoed the show and you can see it here with this link, or just go to my channel and find it there! Enjoy and clear skies everyone 👍

Hi all, apologies if you were waiting for a live stream from my channel! This is something I’m planning on doing soon, but I was playing around in OBS Studio and didn’t realize I had it set to public and had scheduled a live stream!
Still a bit to learn for now, but watch this space!
Clear skies everyone 👍
