About The Site

Orion Nebula - 14 December 2003 Welcome to my astronomy site. Here you will find details of observations made at the observatory both from its original site in South Yorkshire, England and now from its new home in the Isle of Man.

There are also sections dealing with the latest space and science news obtained from Internet RSS feeds, a page dedicated to the Andromeda galaxy itself, and links to other astronomy related sites.

The site has recently undergone a complete overhaul and will be regularly updated as more of the orginal site content is added, along with any new material as it becomes available.
