After we spotted these photos on the East and West Molesey Group on Facebook, we couldn't help but ask West Molesey resident Craig Allnutt if we could post a blog about them and how he was able to capture these spectacular images.
"I live in Hight Street, West Molesey and moved to Molesey from Addleston around 5 years ago when I married my partner."
"With a celestron telescope and dedicated astro camera. Each picture can take anywhere from 3-15 hours of total exposure time."
"I first got into astronomy when my Dad showed me Haley's Comet outside our house back in the 80's. I started just by imaging the moon and planets and then about two years ago, I decided to take the plunge in to deep sace photography"
"I would have to say the people, it seems like a close community and there is always something to do such as taking a stroll by The River Thames or visiting Hampton Court Palace and the surrounding gardens."
Below are the images Craig posted on line, we hope you find them as interesting as we did!

Martin Ellis, Halifax economist has said that the shortage of new properties coming onto the market has been a major factor in house price growth this year.
In a recent report from RICS (Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors) confirms that the average number of properties on the market per estate agency is at a record low since 1978.
RICS said that both house prices and rents are likely to grow at a rate exceeding growth in wages.
Corporate Estate Agency LSL have also reported a 15% increase in sales last month. Signifying the start of the anticipated post-election boom.
