Welcome to my blog. I created this blog as my (admittedly) curmudgeonly response to the proliferation of computerized telescopes and expensive imaging devices that litter your nearby star party. I've been to too many star parties where people exclaim "Aw, geez, my computer's reset!" or "What time is it? I need to align my computer." I find this bothersome because the object of being out in a field in the middle of the night isn't to interface with more computers, in my opinion. It's to interface with the night sky.
I'll be sure to post more on the subject. Meanwhile, enjoy this link:
