| Well, this page is the reason for all the web updating. My wife and I have talked for a long time about getting a telescope. We love astronomy and the kids do too. I finally got the ball rolling a few months ago and decided to get one. |
| The only problem was the more we looked into choices, the more we wanted out of a telescope. Things like "goto" and portability where options we wanted. Also, because my wife and I are also into photography, the ability to use the scope for astrophotography was going to be essential for enhancing our experiences with astronomy. |
| So, after some research, we decided on a Meade ETX series telescope. While it is most certainly not the most powerful telescope we could have gotten for the money, it definitely caters to our interests. |
| So, you can check out the equipment we use on the Equipment page. I will be posting our attempts at astrophotography on the My Pictures page. Also, you can follow our progress by viewing the Journal page. |
