Just a Beauty Shot!

Nothing stirs the astronomer's soul like good equipment. Fortunate as I am, I still have access to Taks and APs - SBIGs and FLIs.

While my association with the Three Rivers Foundations is not a strong as it once was - my role is one of a consultant now rather than being on staff - it's still a blessing to be able to surround yourself with great gear...as well as great friends (such as the guy who took this shot of me, Phil Jones).

Taking on a new family and a recent newborn has yielded little time for life's hobbies. But I still love the sky. Still love the gear. And I still love sharing the passion of astronomy.

My goal for 2009 is to be more involved in astronomy than I have been in the past two years. No, I will not neglect those who are precious to me, but I will devote more time to my astronomy pursuits, my astronomy friends, and my astronomy writings.

I hope you'll take the time to check into ALLABOUTASTRO regularly. I promise that you'll find the new blog entertaining, informative, and educational.
