When I was 10 years old my father bought me a small refractor telescope. Staying up well past my bedtime I looked through the eyepiece and was blown away by the sight of Jupiter with its giant storm cloud and moons. Then I pointed my scope towards Saturn and could actually see its magnificent rings. I was hooked.

A few decades later I feel just as excited photographing the wonders of the universe. 

I am interested in astrophotography as an art form that intersects with science and technology. My images are created purely using the light gathered through my lenses. Nothing else is added. 

I am a London-based Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society and founder of the ‘Meridian Flippers’ astro group. My images are taken in England, La Palma, Canada’s Vancouver Island and Texas where I operate a remote telescope.

I share my nights under the stars with astro-dog Cosmo.

The image shows a night sky illuminated by the northern lights with shades of green, purple, pink, and blue, over a silhouette of trees and an open field.
