Welcome to the Stoney Hills Observatory web site.
Based 40 miles east of London in Burnham, Essex, the Stoney Hills Observatory is my personal attempt to capture some of the beauty of the night sky from a backyard location.
Whilst technology definitely plays a large part in astronomy there is still something awe inspiring about just looking though a telescope and realising that such strange and fantastic objects are really there, hanging in the sky above us. Using long exposures onto a CCD brings out the fine detail and structure and allows some of the glory of these celestial objects to be recorded.
The Stoney Hills Observatory has running since 2006 and averages roughly one image every 2 months, mostly due to is location in the UK living up to it’s reputation of always being cloudy and always raining...
I hope you enjoy this site.
