I successfully detected hydrogen for first time using SDR, hydrogen HNA, pre-amp, DC block, and SDR# (using version of SDR# software provided in SARA Scope in a Box software package).…
I have been given this incredible aerial/antenna this month – it a military phased array tuned to roughly the correct wavelength for hydrogen (1420MHz) with (I am told) a resolution…
Some of my favourite images taken by myself in Lichfield, UK, since I started astrophotography in late 2019 – combination solar, planetary and deep sky images.

I own a CCDSpec spectrometer – this excellent British device is no longer made – but composes a single gold-coloured CNC-machined device that includes guiding port. It has diffraction grating…
It is convenient and easy to point the telescope at a compact fluorescent fluorescent lightbulb to use it as a calibration spectrum. Andy Calibration spectrum using Compact Fluorescent Lightbulb: On…
Below are some spectra I took using the CCDSpec spectroscope on my Sky Watcher Equinox 120mm telescope. Andy Capella (spectrum as comes from spectroscope and then plotted using RSPEC): Comparison…
