ING Postcards

These photo-compositions were made by Nik Szymanek (of the amateur UK Deep Sky CCD imaging team of Nik Szymanek and Ian King) in summer 1997. Please, contact Nik if you wish to make use of these photos (http://www.ccdland.com.

The telescopes shown here are part of the Isaac Newton Group except the Ducth Open Telescope (DOT) and the Nordic Optical Telescope (NOT) which appear in the last photograph.

Nik and Ian are one of the foremost amateur teams in the UK specialising in tri-colour (true colour) deep sky CCD images and often have their work displayed in mazagines such as Sky & Telescope and the UK's Astronomy Now. Please have a look at Nik's web pages for example.

Nik and Ian came to La Palma again last may 98. They composed this mosaic for us.
