WELCOME

 This website features a selection of deep-sky images taken from Frog Rock Observatory using a GSTAR-EX CCD video camera.

 The observatory is a private facility located near the country town of Mudgee, New South Wales, Australia. 

 Activities include deep-sky imaging, supernova confirmation, asteroid occultations and astrometry.   (MPC Observatory Code E11)

 Two books co-authored by  Steve Massey  and myself,  Atlas of the Southern Night Sky  and  Deep-Sky Video Astronomy 
 are illustrated predominantly with video images from Frog Rock Observatory and by Steve Massey from Brookvale in Sydney.
