Astrophotography lends itself well to its presentation on websites.  However, whist an avid astrophotographer, I am a visual astronomer as well using a 12″ Dob and powerful binoculars.

I enjoy learning new skills and so I learned to develop web sites and here is my effort at skastro.net.   I developed it on the Amazon Web Services Lightsail platform where it runs in WordPress on an Ubuntu Virtual machine.  I did use shared hosting at one point but I was constantly having security breaches so I now run the site myself on my own virtual machine for a few pounds per month.

Below, at the bottom, is my other great interest, road cycling 🙂  I like to get out and do at least 100 miles a week if I possibly can.  You may also catch me on Zwift and FulGaz.

As well as astronomy and cycling I love travelling, piano, food (beer!) and walking with Louise.

Below is me and my daughter Maya and pictures of me with Louise on our travels.
