Hello

What started with a DSLR on a tripod and a few blurry shots of Orion has turned into a slightly obsessive pursuit of faint hydrogen, oxygen and sulphur glowing hundreds of light years away.

Most of my northern targets are captured from my back garden in the suburbs of London, where clear nights are rare enough to be precious. For the southern sky I run a remote rig from South Africa which has pristine dark skies.

Each image here is the result of many hours of integration, often spread across several nights or even seasons, followed by a lot of careful processing. I try to keep the colours honest to the data while letting the structure speak for itself.

When the weather or the Moon rules out deep-sky imaging, I photograph things closer to home: landscapes, macro and when the chance comes up wildlife.

Prints of most images are available on request. Get in touch.
