Hello and welcome to my Astronomy Blog.
I have had a lifelong interest in Astronomy. My grandfather introduced me to the "Night Sky Wonders" in the 1950's. I still remember how excited I was the first time I looked through his telescope at the moon! He also taught me about the Constellations. One night he pointed to the sky and said, "See that star right there that is moving across the sky? That's Sputnik." He went on to explain that the Russians had launched the first satellite into space and he said that someday, we would visit the moon!
Of course, from then on, I was hooked!
It wasn't until a couple years ago that I got into Astronomy in a serious way. I bought a new 80mm Refractor Telescope and then a Schmidt Cassegrain Telescope (SCT.) I wanted to take pictures of what I saw and I started reading about what I would need to get started in Astrophotography.
This blog is a running account of my Astro-Adventures.
On the right side of the blog are my entries numbered chronologically from the bottom up.
Enjoy,
Tim
