Dean Ashton OBE

Dean Ashton OBE

Amateur astronomer living in Cornwall.  My childhood passion for astronomy was rekindled a few years ago when my wife bought me a telescope for a birthday present!  Little did she know what she would start.  I now enjoy astrophotography and visual astronomy on those rare clear nights in Cornwall. My current telescope: Celestron 235mm EdgeHD SCT; Celestron CGEM Mount; Starlight Express LoadstarX2 guide camera; Off-axis guiding; Feather Touch Digital Boss II Focus Control System; Primalucelab Eagle4Pro telescope control system. Image cameras: QHY268C; Celestron Nightscape 10100 OSC; Skyris 618C; Skyris 132M.  Image Capture and Control Software: Sequence Generator Pro; PhD2; SkyXPro; Fire Capture; SharpCap, EagleManager4 Image calibration, stacking and processing software: Registax; Autostaker; PIPP; WinJupos; PixInsight; Photoshop
