Telescopes and ice cream - whats your flavor of stargazing
Saturday, July 26, 2025 by Russ Scritchfield
What do ice cream and telescopes have in common? Surprisingly, quite a lot. Astronomy and ice cream both offer a wide range of “flavors,” and just like a favorite scoop, a stargazing style often reflects personal taste. Some observers prefer the simplicity of a quiet night under the Moon, while others dive deep into complex imaging setups. Many enjoy switchi...

How many telescopes do you actually need
Wednesday, July 2, 2025 by Richard Harris
I was about eleven years old when I met the night sky "officially". It was the late-1980s, and one calm summer evening in the Ozarks I lugged a little 60 mm refractor, bright red, wobbly tripod and all, into the backyard. I had a star chart from the box my telescope came in, along with a ton of raw curiosity, I pointed that modest telescope at the Moon. B...

Mastering astrophotography autofocus
Thursday, April 24, 2025 by Richard Harris
Achieving perfect focus is one of the most essential yet often underestimated challenges in astrophotography. A telescope's optical system is only as good as its ability to render pinpoint stars, and even the most advanced camera or telescope cannot overcome the blur of a poorly focused image. Whether capturing wide-field nebulae or high-resolution planetary detail,...
