Astronomy for Advanced Amateurs

Setting up your Scope

As of yet, I don't have a scope on site. While I have plans for a full observatory, there are many things which must come together before that happens.

For now, the best location for you to set up your scope is in the field back of the small barn just up the little farm road which goes up between the house and the main barn. In this way, the headlights from the few cars which come down the hill road will not ruin your night eyes. You may take your car or truck up there if you are careful. There are stones in and alongside the road which can cause problems. Avoid driving significantly beyond the little barn. The hay fields are leased and driving on them will significantly reduce the value of the hay.
