" Wheels within wheels in a spiral array,
A pattern so grand and complex,
Time after time we lose sight of the way,
Our causes can't see their effects."

Welcome to my Site...It's all about our Universe.


What you will find here are my efforts to capture images of celestial objects either within our solar system, or millions of light years distant. I started with an 8" Dobsonian, which is a relatively inexpensive way to get into quality observing. Then I wanted to move on to astro-photography and so a new scope was required. I chose a 10" Meade LX 200. All the images that have been captured telescopically have been shot through the LX200. Other pictures have been captured either piggy back or tripod mounted. My camera's are Nikon F100, Nikon D70 and Olympus OM-1
