James' interest in Astronomy began in Scotland, and in 2000 he saw a bright meteor travel across the summer sky in broad daylight.  After reporting it to Greenwich Observatory he learned it had been seen the length of Britain.  James is interested in short exposure imaging and uses the Meade Lunar Planetary Imager, a Canon DSLR, and is experimenting with video-astrophotograhy.
