Terry's Astrophotos

Welcome to my Astrophoto website. My name is Terry Evans and I live on the edge of Exmoor, North West of Taunton in Somerset, UK. I've been interested in the night sky since I was about 7 years old but it was getting Patrick Moore's Observer's Book of Astronomy when I was 13 that set me on the path of a life-long interest.
The site is organised into Albums containing images of objects in various catalogues. The site was created using Jalbum and the Chameleon skin. Acquisition of images and processing was mainly done using MaximDL with a bit of Photoshop for final tweaking.

$Halton "Chip" Arp produced a catalogue of 318 "interesting" galaxies and groups of interacting galaxies. He photographed most of these with the Palomar 40inch Schmitt anf the Hale 200inch telescope. I've tried to produce photographs of these objects with my much more modest setup :-). Most of the images were taken through a TMB203 8inch apochromatic refractor at f/9 with a SXV-H9 camera Most exposures were an hour or less. Clear nights are at a premium in deeoest dankest Somerset!.$
