    Amateurs' Impressions of the Observatory
     

    The pictures below were taken by Nik Szymanek (of the amateur UK Deep Sky CCD imaging team of Nik Szymanek and Ian King) in June 1999. Nik's usual equipment is a Meade 10" LX200 telescope, a SBIG ST-7 CCD, and an AO-7 adaptive optics unit. Nik is also advisor for the Society for Popular Astronomy.

    Nik and IanNik 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 Astronomy Now. For a sample of their work visit this web page: http://www.ing.iac.es/PR/postcards.html

    Nik and Ian came to La Palma again in 1998 and 1999 and they composed the mosaics below for us.
