I am semi-retired after a career in medical sciences. I now work from home doing independent research and consultancy amongst other things. One advantage of this is that I do have time to indulge my interests including birdwatching, natural history, steam trains and history particularly ancient history.

I live in a city where the light makes it impossible to do any decent photography so I use the Bradford Robotic telescope or the Harvard NASA robotic telescope to obtain my images. These images were all taken using the Bradford.
I know what you mean about the light pollution — seems to be getting worse where I live. I’m envious of the gear you have access to! I use a Canon Rebel XSi — not as exciting compared to NASA equipment!
use of Harvard NASA is free. Bradford requires a small monthly subscription, but allows a lot more variations in settings and targets. Access to both is online.
Nice image! What kind of camera did you use?
