about me

My name is Nick King, and I live with my lovely wife and three daughters in Harrow, on the north-west outskirts of London, England.

I'm into computers (well Macs really), motorbikes, a bit of gardening - mainly bonsai, and now astrophotography.

I've always been interested in space and astronomy, and in 2003, spurred on by my Dad's interest and the upcoming closest approach of Mars, I bought myself a scope and started learning about this cool hobby.

This is a view from my bedroom facing north east

The sky is never completely dark here in Harrow, but dark enough for my little scope to do its thing. The other problem I have, is that the smog and light pollution of London are right in the way of my best view in the garden (east to south-east). So no ideal views can really be had here, except from my bedroom (see image above), but that's no good for the scope.
