Welcome to my website describing my astronomical observatory in NE Scotland (UK) together with my observing and imaging activities over the past 20 years. A roll-off roof observatory originally housed an 8" LX200 SCT telescope + ST7 CCD Camera, but was upgraded to a 12" LX200R SCT telescope + ST10-XME CCD Camera in 2009. An 180 deg AllSKy Camera were added in 2014.  More recently an 80mm APO secondary scope + ZWO 178MC Camera were added in 2017, and equipment was moved into a new 2.2m Dome Observatory in 2018 and made fully automated in 2019-2022.
