Good News - Work is now progressing on my Observatory project, and I will soon have an update on the foundation work for the observatory. Stay tuned...

A few weeks back, I shared a video showing us breaking ground on my observatory project—but then there were no further updates!
What is going on?
Well, I am in a kind of holding pattern now. Orders went in a while back for the steel and the scissor trusses for the project. Then we found there was a supply backlog, and the steel would not be delivered until the third week of October, and the Trusses would not show up until the end of October.
So we are in a delay pattern, and the start will not happen until mid-October at best - most likely the 3rd week in October.
So stay tuned. I will share updates once things get underway again!
Patience is a virtue that I am running short of these days! :-)

Astrophotography can be an awesome thing. Just think about it - an everyday person sets up some gear on their driveway and captures some photons that have been traveling for thousands, and in some cases, millions of years through the universe before they entered their telescope and were captured by their camera! You can create images that, until now, you only saw produced by professional observatories.
In 2019 I retired and started my journey into Astrophotography. It was a bit like Alice falling into the looking glass: Choosing gear, assembling it into a useful configuration, setting up, polar alignments, pate solving, meridian flips, camera cooling, focusing methods, binning, Sequence control, calibration frames, stacking, image preprocessing, & Image processing - it can make your head spin if not explode.
I finally sorted all of that out - and I plan to use this channel & my website to share my results & learnings.
