I’m looking to connect with fellow astrophotographers across the UK or elsewhere who might be interested in collaborating on imaging projects, sharing data, experimenting with different equipment and techniques, and generally creating some great astrophotography together.

Whether you’re shooting from a back garden, travelling to dark-sky locations, running a remote setup, or working with anything from a Seestar to a full astrophotography rig, I’d love to hear from you.

Some ideas I’d be particularly interested in exploring:

  • Collaborative deep-sky imaging — combining data from different locations, telescopes and filters

  • Joint imaging sessions at UK dark-sky locations (if you are in the UK)

  • Multi-telescope projects capturing the same target at different focal lengths

  • Processing collaborations — seeing how different people interpret the same dataset

  • Equipment and filter comparisons under real-world conditions

  • Mosaics and larger imaging projects that would be difficult for one person to capture alone

  • Potential collaboration with AstroBear, including educational content, imaging projects and community resources

You certainly don’t need to be an expert. I’ve only been doing astrophotography for around a year myself, and one of the things I enjoy most about the hobby is how much there is still to learn.

What matters more is enthusiasm, curiosity and a willingness to share knowledge and ideas.

If you're based in the UK and this sounds interesting, drop me a comment or send me a message. It would be great to build a small network of astrophotographers who can work together on some genuinely interesting projects.

Clear skies!

I really like this idea, but weather in nw England is historically bad :(

Hi TiffsandAstro

It hasn’t been too bad lately, that doesn’t mean it isn’t going to change.

Happy to discuss if you want.

Kind regards

Cassio

Maybe in the future if I improve a bit more :)

I’m open to collaborating on targets, I shoot from home in Somerset and have a FoV of about 0.56×0.56 degrees at 0.67” pp. so good for close in detail

Hi Craig,

That sounds great — I’d definitely be interested in collaborating.

My setup is quite a bit wider than yours. With my Askar 71F, 0.75× reducer and ASI2600MC Pro, I’m at roughly 3.66° × 2.45° with an image scale of around 2.11”/pixel.

That could work really well together—I could contribute the wider field and surrounding nebulosity, while your setup could add much finer detail in the core or specific structures.

I’m UK-based as well, so we should also have fairly similar visibility and weather windows. Happy to compare target ideas and see what would make the most of both setups.

There’s a group called Overall Photons who do regular collaborations. Worth checking their results and joining if interested. You can search for their collaborations by searching the name.

Thank you for the tip, Nadeem. I appreciate your comment. :)
