Websites from some of our local amateur astronomers
Chris Picking. Images on his website at www.starrynightphotos.com
David Moorhouse of Auckland has built an exciting ‘telescope’ which will be quite mind-blowing to a lot of people out there. Check out the website www.binoscope.co.nz
Another site from Gary Beal of Hamilton, his interests are building telescopes and astrophotography. See his website at http://www.2fdesign.co.nz/zeissnut
Astrophotographer John Drummond of Gisborne has a great site with plenty of images – he has been one of the main photographers of the recent Q4 and T7 comets which we have enjoyed sporadic views of. His site is www.possumobservatory.co.nz
