About Me

My name is Alex, I live in a town just outside of Edinburgh in Scotland. I was born in September 1989 in England but have lived in Scotland most of my life. I am currently studying for my masters degree in Astrophysics at the university of St-Andrews.

Other than astronomy my other interests include playing guitar and listening to music. Mostly metal though if it has a cool guitar riff in it then ill probably like it. I've only recently started playing summer 2007 so am pretty rubbish but im sure that will improve. My favourite bands/artists are:

I got my first telescope when I was 16 so I am relatively new to the world of astronomy, Im not really that interested in just looking through telescopes or visual astronomy. I would rather take images of the objects not only do these look more impressive it gives you a kind of souvenir.
