A man who was inspired by his 6-year-old son to buy a telescope during the lockdown is now snapping mesmerizing photos of space from his back garden.
Ian Phillips, 45, from Worle, North Somerset, took up astrophotography in October 2021. Ian’s son William asked for a telescope for his birthday after reading his favorite book, “There’s a Shark in the Park,” which follows the character of Timothy Pope, who has a brand-new toy telescope.
