Welcome Greetings from AstroDad

[Astrodad]

Hello fellow Crunchers,
I'm Astrodad a retired military space and intel officer who operated airplanes and space vehicles. These days my nightly activities include astronomy (optical, broadband and narrowband) from my suburban home or from the observatory I built in Oklahoma. I have worked with SETI's Sr. Astronomer Seth S. for years and we stay in touch. One of the neatest things that ever happened was that I called him when he was at Hat Creek giving a tour and I was running my club's 16-inch scope in the observatory, watching a Jovian moon make a triple point contact....crazy.

One of my interestes here is to support anyone who has a point in space that they are interested in. I can go to mag 21 with my equipment. check out my website and the images.

Sweet setup there. I've got an 8" Reflector though I must admit I haven't even used it this year at all. Always intended to put a motor on it and do some photography, but life/kids took over..

Hello there and welcome. And btw, awesome setup. When I was a kid I used to peruse my Edmond Scientific catalog. Daydreaming of building my own 12" reflector telescope. But it never happened... Anyhoot, thanks for joining the group. Enjoy.

Welcome to the team and the boards. We have a telescope we should use more, our biggest excuse is that the stand alone is 50 lbs and whenever there is any rain it sinks in our yard pretty bad. Glad to have you here.
