Matt's Astronomy page


Astronomy is another hobby that I enjoy. I enjoy observing, aurora chasing, taking astrophotos, and telescope making. I own a Meade 8" LX200 Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescope and I built a 6" Dobsonian with hand-ground optics. Click here for a photo of the scope. Below are some interesting "Astro Links" that you can check out. Enjoy!


Check out some astrophotos in the Astrophoto Gallery!
