This website is mostly about making and modifying equipment, which reflects one of the ways I personally get so much satisfaction from astronomy. Visual observing is mainly the end goal - seeing photons from something billions of light years away land on my retinas.
Also the home of ScopeDog - a diy Dobsonian drive
Main projects, most recent first:
Construction of an All Sky Camera
Repeated iterations on an 18” ultra compact Dobsonian to get it perfected, (almost there!)
Restoration of a historically important 100 year old telescope
Building an observatory, including the dome
I also share my thoughts on other astronomy topics - please feel free to browse!
It is vital that amateur astronomers share their skills and experiences. Some of the world’s oldest societies and journals were established to do just this.
