Welcome to my Astronomy Web Site!

Of course, this site is new as am I to Astronomy.  I have a few pics on this site since I'm just starting in Astrophotography and Astro-videography.

NEW! - Click the Lunar Eclipse 2008 button on the left for my latest photos... the title says it all.

My Photo Album

My mini-blog:

Look at my online photo album. Click the picture above.

21-Apr-2008: Well, just started playing around with the Zone System of image processing.  Definitely helps (check out my latest photo of the moon), but way more to learn.  Hopefully I'll get some good nebulae images posted as soon as we get some clearer weather here.

06-Mar-2008 6:02 AM (-0500):  Was out last night again working on my photo-ops.  Got a pretty good picture of the Orion Nebula, but seems like I can get that focusing quite right and I'm still working on my post-processing skills.  Check it out, it's actually a pretty decent photo but I wouldn't send it in to SPACE magazine quite yet :)


24-Feb-2008 4:44 PM (-0500):  I just finished processing my tons of photos from the 20-Feb-2008 Lunar Eclipse, pretty much took me all day.  Some shots are good, some not so great, but it was cold and late that night so what do you expect!  Gimmie a break, YOU stand out there in the cold :)  Check them out, some are pretty impressive.


20-Feb-2008 11:08 PM (-0500):  So, I just came in from the cold, and the astronomical gods stopped the snow from falling and cleared the sky with PERFECT timing to let me setup my scope for the lunar eclipse.  I grabbed some excellent shots and will probably process them this weekend.  I'm going to post the shots on their own page when their ready.


19-Feb-2008:  Well, I received my new Meade LX90 GPS 8" telescope from Telescopes.com (excellent customer service!).  The view is excellent, very easy setup.  Definitely worth every cent!  If you have the means, I highly recommend this scope.  Check out my latest photos.  More to come... as soon as it warms up a little bit!
