About
Welcome to the Tŷ Du Observatory
My name is Duncan Abraham and I live in Newport, South Wales, UK. I’m a project manager/application developer by trade but enjoy spending evenings looking to the heavens and trying to get the most out of the astronomy equipment I have.
Although I have a name for my observatory, I don’t yet have a permanent home for my scope. Instead I haul a box of cameras, lenses and assorted electronics onto the patio at every opportunity.
All change: I now have an observatory but no images from it yet due to the weather. I do some initial images to check the mount still worked after being dropped, but I never checked the focus so they’re not usable. A “proper” first light will follow… 
All change: I now have an observatory, but haven’t had a chance to image – it’s raining. I’ve moved the scope into the observatory and done an initial alignment but I hope to improve on this over time. I took some images, but didn’t check the focus, really I was only making sure the mount still tracked after it was dropped. All seems to be ok
I’ve taken lots of images, some good, some far from good and I was wondering what to do with them all, so this site will be home to my gallery if nothing else.
By the way, Tŷ Du is pronounced Tee Dee, so it sort of rhymes with Observatory, well it does after a couple of beers
I’m very keen on making the things I don’t have so keep an eye on the projects area for things that I may dream about, and even some that I’ve made, or will make when I get around to it.
