Follow @lenadamastro The private observatory is located in my back garden in the town of Leyland in Lancashire, England and is close to the city of Preston. My main interest is in Supernovae and I am building up a Galaxy Image Library to store comparison images and searching for new Supernovae. My main instrument is a C14 Celestron Optical Tube Assembly which is a major step forward in terms of aperture with a corresponding increase in light gathering power of 36% in comparison with my 12" Meade which preceded it, which is a great advantage in terms of detecting fainter objects. The set up is is a Celestron 355 mm SCT OTA on a Paramount ME with an SBIG ST-9XE camera mounted on the SCT with a X0.8 focal reducer.
