Who we are?

I am an Amateur Astrophotographer. I’ve always been interested in Space, Astrophysics, and anything to do with stuff beyond the surface of the Earth. I wanted to be an Astronaut beginning in 1969 with the first moonwalk, and gave up on that dream after my T-38 Instructor Pilot assignment ended and I went to fly Transport aircraft.

I bought my first telescope just last year, in March of 2024, and have experienced the very steep learning curve associated with this hobby.

It took a dozen nights of frustration just to capture my first image, and then another month to turn what I captured into something I could see. And it looked horrible (see right)! But it was something, and I knew I could do better.
