Crater Collection

Posted on by May 31, 2025

This was a most rewarding Quest but also many hours spent on setting up Slooh Sentinel 2 missions, processing and fitting all my images onto the template.

Since Slooh introduced Earth Sciences, I have been able to get amazing satellite views of our planet. The more I explore, the more I realise that we do have a wonderful world.
The best part will be learning more about each of these craters.

Congratulations Slooh! This one was quite an adventure.

In the Footsteps of Caroline Herschel

Posted on by May 17, 2025
My quest to find the objects discovered by Caroline Herschel has been so much easier than back in 1870’s.
William Herschel needed a housekeeper and so he brought his sister, Caroline, from Germany to Bath.
At the time William was building powerful telescopes to look deeper into space. Caroline spent hours grinding and polishing mirrors BUT whenever he was away she would shift in behind the telescopes and visitors to the observatory took note – even King George III.
William gave Caroline one of his small telescopes to search for comets.
Later when William had new things on his mind, like marriage, Caroline Herschel went ahead to become a prominent astronomer.
