About Me

 

Current Equipment

 

18" Obsession - This has been my dream telescope since I had my first look through one.

 

8" Homemade Ball Scope called "Marilyn" - This is my first telescope project that I built. I ground the mirror myself.

 

William Optics Zenithstar 66SD APO Refractor on a Universal Astronomics Microstar Mount. This will be my travel/grab-and-go scope.

 

Meade 2080LX - This is what started it all. This is my dad's telescope that I still use.

 

Previous Equipment

Here is my 15" Discovery Truss Dobsonian I sold in 2006.

 

I sold this in 2007 to fund the new 12.5" ballscope I am building. I hope to obtain another one soon.

 

Ultima 2000 and SBIG ST7E I used for imaging. I sold this in 2006 (and since have not been imaging).

 

This was my 14" homemade dobsonian made by Bill Burton. This was my first taste at a big dob. I sold it back in 2002.

 

I owned an XT12i for a few months before selling it in 2005.

 

I also had an ED80 that I sold in 2005. I want to get one again as this was a great grab and go scope. I also did some imaging with this scope.

Please contact me if you have any questions or comments.
