Pompey Astrophotography
The heavens proclaim the glory of God. The skies display his craftsmanship.
As a complete beginner (May 2024), I'm doing my best to photograph the night sky in the South of England with the Seestar S50, Redcat 51mm and my Skywatcher 127mm, all from a Bortle 6/7 Sky.
I've always been fascinated by the night sky since I was young, but I assumed that capturing images of deep sky objects was something only experts could do. This is my corner of the internet where I document my journey, stumbling through and making plenty of mistakes, but learning something new along the way.
