I have just returned from the summer astronomy fair at the Norman Lockyer observatory (Sidmouth, Devon) where I gave a lecture on deep-sky imaging at the New Forest Observatory.  The fair, and the talk, were very well attended helped along by a day of exceptionally good weather (Saturday August 8th 2009).  Starlight Xpress, the CCD suppliers whose cameras I use, were there showing the latest goodies.  The next generation SXVR-M25C looks absolutely perfect for my mini-WASP setup, so I’ll need to get a couple of these in the very near future.

If you haven’t gone down to Sidmouth in the summer to see the Norman Lockyer observatory and attend the astronomy fair – I can highly recommend it to you.
