Thank you for the information about astrophotography as well as the personal information about yourself. As you can see, I am also from Arkansas and also of very "conservative mind". I have been fascinated with astronomy since I was a child. And now, at age 30, I am more interested than ever. Spending time under the stars makes us realize just how humble we should be. It is truly amazing what God has created for us to enjoy. I still have my first 60 mm refractor that my parents bought for me when I was young, but I am planning to purchase an LX 200 soon. But thank you once again for the wonderful site and info, as well as the opportunity to get to know you. His Universe would be an even greater place if there were more people li e you within it. |

My first step though is to acquire some land! That takes money so since I am a truck driver by trade, and an Amateur Astronomer by ni ht then I'm off to make some money! Do you know anything about how to start a non-profit org? I hear that they can get land donated, among other things. I want ASTROCAMPS to be non-profit for kids and families. |

I could not take my eyes off of it. Then I swung over to Jupiter. I could see the bands !!! I was almost beside myself. The topper was when I lined up on Saturn. I literaly jumped up in the air! I knew right away that I needed a higher quality scope so I ordered an 8" Newt with EQ mount. Your web site has cleared up many things for me. I feel that I have a much better grasp of Polar Alignment. our explanation of the process of taking astrophotos has opened my eyes to the fact that it will take work but your pictures are an inspiration. I only hope that I can get close !! Thanks for a wonderful site. James |

A quarter moon was out so with a 15 min. exposure it made the mountians look like mid-day but the startrails are very visable. |

Wanting to do so e moon and planetary photography. I thought I was the only astronomer out there who has an appreciation for science, and a love for God. Your site is encouraging and refreshing.

I am going to be investing in Celestron's Nexstar 5 telescope which is hot on the market right now. I am in the process of studying about astrophotography and getting myself prepared with the knowledge of the good and bad to it. I have been blessed with patience, so I believe I will do great in it. I want to than you for your input on the internet of your knowledge and of your work. God bless you! |

I actually have to dust off my telescope and do a standard night of observing before I embark on astrophotography. It's been awhile since I used my Schmidt-Cassegrain 2080B telescope. I'll probably get start d with astrophotography when the smoke clears after every astromomers worst night, July 4th! I have a nephew who is interested in astronomy and now astrophotography, too, and has a science summer project involving the two. I'm the amateur astronomer of he family and my husband likes photography. We'll see what we can do. I'm a little nervous about this. I hope you won't mind a few e-mails from me this month. Thanks. |
