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.
