I'm a primary care physician by day, enjoying the mental diversion and quiet nights of astrophotography.

Most shots are taken from my front yard/driveway in suburban Ogden, UT, USA; others are from dark skies in the western USA. Started astronomy after buying a used C6 on a Nexstar Mount in about 2015, and then caught astrophotography fever in October 2020. After 1-2 years of struggling with a C8 and Nikon D750, finally found the delights of having an Edge HD 8" on a CGX mount with a ZWO ASI 2600MC camera. In 2023 bought a Skywatcher Esprit 80ED triplet refractor, and now have a second CGX mount. I fill the back of my vehicle with astro-gear and now have little room for other necessaries when on astro-trips to darker skies. @darkdesertdome is my brother who helps fuel this addiction, and we typically meet several times per year, halfway between Phoenix and Salt Lake City, in the dark high deserts of the Colorado Plateau to explore the sky visually and photographically.

As a kid in the 80s, I fully expected to someday fly on the Space Shuttle; backyard astrophotography partially fulfills a childhood yearning to float around up there.
