Hi, I'm CaleyAnn, otherwise known as astronomynut. I got addicted to astronomy when I was aged eleven, when my parents gave me my very first telescope, a 3 inch Tasco reflector. My next telescope was purchased in about 1977, a Celestron SCT Orange flavor, which was to be my photography telescope with a film camera. I found out just how difficult things were, especially without anyone to help me. Gosh! I didn't even understand polar alignment or how the clock drive worked. I gave up, and sold the equipment a few years later. Then about 2012-13 I got back into the hobby, and haven't looked back. I've been hanging around AstroBin for a few years, looking at some magnificent photos, and adding my own. But of late I have not posted much because of other commitments. Now I am in the do it overdrive set of mine, and have decided that since this summer is supposed to be a scorcher, to forego photography until I finish up my own observatory shelter. Currently my setup only has a surround fence to block both the wind and stray neighbors lights. I had been using a roll-away shed to house my equipment, but life is passing yearly, and I get no younger, nor stronger, and that shed was difficult to maneuver. So I am in the process, while foregoing photography, of building a bigger and better shelter to house my equipment, and hopefully built well enough to house additional items, as well as my body when at the computer near the telescope. So I will not be posting photos for probably the next three to six months while all this is going on. I will post a few photos from time to time of the construction. CaleyAnn |
