Site re-launched having been re-developed using Site Spinner, a web authoring tool rather more suited to the task than Page Plus, which I used for my first version.

9th August 2003

Site launched! I decided it was time to create a site where I could share my findings as a beginner in astronomy and astrophotography. I have been observing for about 18 months and have been through the same trials and tribulations that all beginners do and thought it might be useful to share my experiences.

I've also managed to put together my first few astrophotographs and wanted somewhere to share them... So here it is, I hope you enjoy it.
