INTRODUCTION
Several members of the Society are keen astrophotographers, this page is dedicated to images of astronomical subjects as photographed by Society Members. As time permits (and other photographs come to light) more images and Gallery pages are likely to be added.

So, if you are a Society member and have some photo's worth adding to this record, you know what to do! All I need is the photo (preferably in digital format, JPEG), a brief description, time taken, and the equipment used - I'll do the rest.

The photographs within this page are the property of the respective photographers. Reproduction or use of any of the photographs on this page without the prior permisssion of the Webmaster is forbidden.
