2012 - the year I'm determined that myself and my family are going to start delving more into Science, Astronomy and Writing. For many years I have been interested in the science of Astronomy - probably from the age of about 10 - when I got my first pair of binoculars and I started sweeping the sky for planets, constellations and deep sky objects. This ramped up to a basic Newtonian telescope but family life took over. Fast forward to 2012.

For many years I have been dispensing advice on astronomy equipment or how to get started whilst wistfully looking up at the stars waiting for the right moment to get my own equipment. I think this year is that time.

I have also met several other friends who are interested in this subject and have invited them to view this blog - hopefully they will like what they see!

Beautiful shot of Moon, Jupiter and Earth's twin Venus

Every night when I walk out of work, I stare up at the impressive sky and sometimes stop in wonder. In the winter months, the skies are very clear and tonight was the same as every night so far. The Moon was very clear, Jupiter was just south of it and bright Venus lower to the horizon. So I had to take some snaps - using my trusty Galaxy S2 phone camera, I took a load of wide angle shots.
