TAKE AMAZING IMAGES OF THE NIGHT SKY AT OUR NEW IMAGING OBSERVATORY!

Les Granges guest Jan Timmins was the first to try our imaging equipment.  With no prior CCD experience at all he went home with some pleasing images…

CAMERAS: Atik 16HR with colour filterwheel and Atik16ic autoguiding camera. Webcam.
MOUNTS: EQ6 SynScan Pro and LX200.
SCOPES: TeleVue Genesis and WO66SD Apo refractors.  Ten inch SCT.

!BEGINNERS: the first steps in imaging are the hardest.  We will guide you through them and provide plenty of daytime help if you would like it.

If you are thinking of moving into imaging it would be a great idea to try our equipment before you decide what to go for.

Thanks to Ian King Imaging (www.iankingimaging.com) for supplying the equipment and for providing technical support.

EXPERTS: our latitude 44 location, extremely dark site and high quality equipment will put a whole feast of new targets within your reach…  Les Granges regular Frans Kroon from the Netherlands was delighted to win Picture of the Month in Astronomy Now magazine with his DSLR image of M42, taken here. As he said, ‘For astrophotography, Les Granges is the place to be.’
