BAA short paper on mapping the infrared thermal emission from the surface of Venus, 2017 April-May
“Amateur astronomers in Queensland’s Gemfields are two of about 50 in the world doing the work they do. Anthony Wesley and Phil Miles spend hours every night in their backyard observatories tracking the planets. Amateurs and professionals around the world are following a bright new storm on Jupiter, that was first seen on August 18, 2020.”

“When two amateur astronomers, Phil Miles and Anthony Wesley met in the remote Queensland town of Rubyvale, they knew it was the beginning of a beautiful friendship. Amidst constant banter and jostles over whose telescope is better, their work together in photographing planetary changes from the outer reaches of the solar system has attracted interest from the likes of NASA. We find out what brought them together, whose telescope is actually bigger and why they get an adrenaline rush from capturing images of the planets in our solar system.”
