Welcome to the "Amazing Sky," an eclectic collection of astronomical images by Alan Dyer.
I've divided my galleries by subject matter and type of object. The slide show presents my latest images. The Featured Galleries above are the most popular, but for the complete collection, select Galleries. Portfolio contains My Favourite Images and collections of recent shoots. My Amazing Sky Blog has commentary on my astrophoto exploits.
SEARCH TIPS:
To find specific subjects from the 1600 images on my site, select a Gallery and browse, or use Search to enter an object, i.e. M51, or the Whirlpool Galaxy, or simply Galaxy. For NGC and IC objects, search for the catalog number, or NGC&xxxx, to narrow it to just NGC object #xxxx. For a photo of a constellation and objects in that constellation, search for the constellation name. i.e. Gemini. To narrow the search to images of just the constellation itself, type Gemini&constellation. For images of conjunctions between objects, say conjunctions of Venus and Jupiter, type Venus&Jupiter.
