Welcome!

Welcome to my web Pages! Here you'll find images of the Sun, planets, Galaxys and all sorts of astronomy related stuff. Most are taken from my run-off observatory near Birr Ireland. You may notice the Earth in some images - no I haven't jumped in a spaceship its added to show the sheer scale of these solar events.

Whats amounted to a disaster of a summer weather wise. Finally got some clear skies and the SUn put on a great show. These images were featured on the July 14th Spaceweather site.

The west of the solar disc proved interesting today showing AR11072 (at the bottom), what used to be the "seagull" filament and a nice prominence. This is a large mosaic of 11 panes taken with my PST-B90 at f/15 and DMK21 camera. You should be able to zoom in and fly over the Sun!

Active Region AR11072 still crakles along. A large prominence still adorns the NW while the NE still shows some instabillity.
