Skyview Observatory

Hello and welcome to my amateur Astrophotography website. All the images displayed on this website were captured by myself from my backyard in Bridge of Weir and from other locations I have visited.

The images were captured with a range of telescopes and digital cameras, currently I operate my telescopes from an automated Pulsar 2.2m Dome Observatory. I image all types of astronomical objects from Solar, Lunar, Planetary and Deep Sky objects a selecton of which can be seen by browsing the various categories displayed on the website.
