Hi, I'm Keith.  I'm a guy that's starting to get more serious about astrophotography.  It's more of a sedentary hobby I can see myself capable of doing as I grow older.  Right now, I'm 42 years old.

This seems like a pretty casual, accepting-of-all-skill-levels place.  Plus, there are truly impressive images to motivate me, here!

My equipment is a Celestron 10" Newtonian reflector, (C10-N,) and my good ol' Tasco 60mm refractor, (thanks, Mom & Dad!)  Also, I take pics with my Orion 9x63 Mini-Giant binoculars.  All my pics are done by connecting my Samsung Galaxy S7 to my beginning to journeyman level eyepieces to take videos and pics.

Woot, woot, woot!  Good to be here.
