First off, thanks to everyone who had a look at my Moon image. Nice to get some feedback!

So following on from that I thought I'd share some more photos of stuff in space that I've imaged from my back garden, over the past month or two, using little more than a DSLR camera, and a 3.1" telescope (yep, just three inches in diameter!) on an equatorial mount. I hope you like them too, if you have any questions just fire away. I like astronomy because it is just a little bit different and it is all around us

Thanks for taking time to look!
Adam
