Most of my working life has been in Business and in particular Information Technology.

I've worked in medium and large organisations in technical, project management and consulting roles.

I retired in 2019 and the first thing I did after retirement was to travel to Texas where I enjoyed participating in the Republic of Texas biker rally.

On my return to Australia, my interest in bike riding waned. As a result, I sold my great Triumph Bonneville America and started my new hobby into astronomy and astrophotography.

About 3 years ago I started out doing visual observations only using a Celestron C8 SCT telescope. This was great for planetary observations, but I knew there was a lot more out there and wanted to keep a record of what was to be seen.

So I decided to take up astrophotography instead. Unfortunately, I had to sell my great Triumph America to get the right equipment for this. To be fair to myself, I was getting a little too old and sore to ride around so this was a reasonable alternative. All images shown here have been captured by me. Each image shows the equipment used, frame/subs taken and post processing done to get the final results.

All images shown here were taken in the Blue Mountains of Sydney, Australia, and most at the Linden Observatory.
