Photo Gallery


​As part of our 20th Anniversary celebrations, we have decided to create an online photo gallery. So, we have been searching through our archives to find some of our best photographs. Each month, we will add more photographs, so be sure to come back again and take another look.

This awesome photograph of M81 (also known as Bode's Galaxy) and M82 (also known as the Cigar Galaxy) was captured by Mark Townsend in May 2018. These two galaxies are located within the constellation of Ursa Major (near the Big Dipper) and were discovered by Johann Elert Bode in 1774. Both galaxies are situated about 12 million light years from Earth.
