WELCOME TO THE UNIVERSE AS SEEN THROUGH MY EYES

Finally

Febuary’s new moon cycle was good this month. After many months of dodging clouds, six solid nights graced us during this month. I finished a deep M51 finally replacing my feeble first attempts a few years ago on this awesome galaxy.

Horrible Winter

This winter has been so bad! I only finished one galaxy and have had the observatory closed for more than a month. UGGGGGH!

M33 Complete

After 30 hours of imaging and 10+ hours of processing, I finished my M33 image. December weather is looking very bleak, but I hope I can get some time in before the year’s end.

The Hyperion Arrives!

Starizona has finally released their new 12.5” Telescope. It provides amazing value with an integrated rotator and double focusers. Combine that with solid optical design from the same guys who have made the Hyperstar, and you have a killer scope! Check out first light on NGC 1977 in the Showcase! Thanks Dean & Scott!

Many New Images

With the automation functional, I’ve been able to kick out quite a few new images. Check the Showcase and Gallery to see! Orion’s Belt, IC1396, M45, and NGC7635 to name a few.
