Dean Ashton

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.

Image cameras: QHY268C; Celestron Nightscape 10100 OSC; Skyris 618C; Skyris 132M. 

Image Capture and Control Software: Sequence Generator Pro; MaximDL; PhD2; SkyXPro; Fire Capture; iCap.

Image calibration, stacking and processing software: Registax; Autostaker; PIPP; WinJupos; PixInsight; Photoshop
