Description

The astronomer is also the philosopher. It is necessary to be a searcher of the knowledge and wisdom for the process to see these natural phenomena in the sky. The routine of setup, focus, polar align, and choosing your target sharpens the mind. While collecting the data and waiting you gather a perspective between yourself and the target that’s lightyears away. For me it’s calming and the problems of the day or even month melt away as I realize …..it doesn’t really matter.
