The photographs on this web site have all been taken by very amateur astronomers.
It all really started when my son bought me a DSLR for my birthday in March 2020.
We already had a cheap telescope - a Seben-branded 1000mm F5 Newtonian and a SkyWatcher NEQ-5 PRO mount.
Since then we have rapidly upgraded the equipment and the improvements in the photographs really are noticeable.
