Welcome to my astronomy blog. This is intended as a companion to my main astronomy website (http://www.fjastronomy.com) and will feature stuff that won't find its way onto that site as well as observing session accounts, sketches, travels and anything else related to deep sky astronomy. I currently use a 12" dob as my main scope but I will soon be getting an 18".

If I were ever to come to power, one of the first things that would go (along with unneccessary lighting, animal experiments and child benefit) would be that infernal invention 'British Summer Time'. Putting aside all the ill-informed rubbish from some members of the public about 'extra daylight' (there isn't, you idiots) the fact that, due to this irritating tinkering, it gets dark an hour later is a major pain in the backside from an observing point of view, particularly when I have to be at work at the unreasonable time of 0800 the following morning.
