About Me

Ever since watching the Voyager on TV as it passed Jupiter, I've wanted to pursue the stars.  As early as 12 years old, I recall wanting to get a PhD in orbital mechanics and work at JPL.  I ended up taking a different course through aerospace engineering, technical Japanese interpretting, and software engineering while working at Boeing, Amazon, Xbox and others. 

Most of my obvserving is visual, but recently I've taken a renewed interest in astrophotography.  I live and work 100% remotely from central Washington (Chelan area), and enjoy seeing the Milky Way just 10 feet from my front-door. 

For the past ten years, I've built and operated the SAS website and backend IT (email, web hosting, etc). 

In 2014, I was recognized by Astronomical League for its Webmaster Award.

About Me

I grew up in Wales and obtained degrees in Math and Computing, and Human-Computer Interaction. While in the UK I interned at Royal Observatory Edinburgh where I prototyped a system to allow telescope control to be shared between sites in the UK and Hawaii. I have always been in interested in science and photography and recently became interested in astrophotography. During the day I am a Software Development Manager.

About Me

As an astrologer I have been fascinated by the planets and stars as long as I can remember. In 2017 I bought myself a DSLR camera for a trip and quickly became obsessed with long exposure night photography, particularly shots of the Milky Way and Aurora Borealis (when lucky enough to see it at this latitude). Conversations about ancient alien theories will always interest me, and I have no fear diving deep into that rabbit hole! I am interested in learning more about astronomy and astrophotography, and love to go on location for extreme photo opps!

About Me

I love science in many ways, from aeronautics to computer and micro-controller programming.

I'm just a beginner on astronomy, hoping to make this science another passion in my life.
