Latest News: September 2009
Mike has initiated a new observing project, entitled “The Faintest Objects Visible To The Naked Eye”. 

The projects’ premise is simple - to identify and catalogue the faintest astronomical objects that can be observed, under the right conditions, by using the naked-eye and with NO telescopes!

The project has been publicized by all of the world’s major astronomy magazines, such as Sky & Telescope, Sky at Night, and Astronomy Now, as well as world renown astronomical societies such as The British Astronomical Association, The Webb Deep-Sky Society and the Society for Popular Astronomy.
