Description

A change from my usual postings. A picture of a busy little astronomer looking for more of those faint fuzzies in Mssr Messier's list of 'THINGS WOT AINT COMETS, N'EST PAS'. You can see the two telescopes I use, the big 8" is the black one, the little 80mm is the white one mounted on top. My rinky dinky laptop is where I sit for hours at a time, cables and wires and stuff all over the place. Not the best picture I ever took, but I thought it would illustrate how I do the pictures that I normally post.

urm - either you did a good job of putting two shots together or you and your twin are scarily alike (and decide to wear the same clothes ;) ) Nice to see where all these cool night sky photos come from :)

Thanks for sharing this ... I recall thirty some years ago taking an elective astronomy course from James Van Allen as I was interested, at the time, in celestial navigation. I loved the course but really hated those long frigid nights dedicated to viewing. I'm glad that you have the wherewithal to overcome such minor concerns. Nice work!
