About Me

RoryG
I am an amateur astronomer living on the edge of the Piney Woods near Huntsville, TX. In addition to my own modest telescopes, I have access to a Takahashi Epsilon-200 that I regularly use for imaging. Most of the images on this blog were taken using either a Canon EOS Rebel XS (1000D) or T3 (1100D) DSLR mounted on the Epsilon-200, but I also image using an inexpensive Orion ShortTube 80 on a Vixen Super Polaris mount.
