Dave Shave-Wall - Astronomy

Since 2004 I have enjoyed astronomy as my hobby. Working my way up from my Skywatcher 5.1" reflector on a very wobbly mount, through the LX200 16" on the Paramount ME then to a superb Officina Stellare RiDK 305mm Corrected Dall Kirkham Astrograph on the Paramount ME II with a fully automated observatory and finally to the Sky-Watcher 150 Esprit EDX on a ZWO AM7 harmonic mount . As you can tell Astronomy is now something that is very dear to my heart and with support of my wife, children, family and friends I will continue to pursue it with a passion. 

If you are interested in knowing what I have observed recently please visit my Blog at the IMT3 Observatory.  If you want to see where I travel for Astronony then take a look at the BASEG site which is a society I am the President for. If you want to see what I do locally then a quick peek at the BAS society site where I have been Chairmain, Committee member and now member for many years.  Finally my astrophotography images can be seen below on Flickr.
