A selection of our Astrophotography images, most of these have been taken from Rishworth & Oldham, Manchester.

 

We have been lucky enough to see the Aurora Borealis (The Northern Lights) on quite a few occasions. We keep our eyes on the activity on the Sun on a daily basis and use the information from various Websites to spot when Aurora may be visible. We post updates on the Oldham and Rochdale Astronomy Facebook page if it looks like it may make an appearance!  

We also run a live Aurora data page here  

 

Some of the images are from when we first started out showing with practice and a lot of patience anyone can take up this hobby.
