ASTROPHOTOS BY THE AUTHOR
Here are some astrophotos I've taken. Now, I admit, I ain't the best astrophotographer around. I don't have a lot of patience, so I shoot mainly bright and/or easy stuff. I include them for your viewing enjoyment, NOT to be ripped off. I claim all copyrights to all these photos. If you are interested in using any of them, please send me email requesting permission. I will add more photos as time allows, since most of my collection is not yet digitized. If you have specific requests for photos, again, please email me. Be patient, this page is gonna take a while to load!

This is a shot of the Rho Ophiuchi region, as it rises over the Cape Neddick, Maine lighthouse Nubble Light. Any comments? |

As a child growing up under the crisp, clean, clear skies of Vermont, I frequently saw "UFO's". This is what led to my interest in astronomy & physics. After several years of study, I reached the conclusion that, while it is possible that there is other intelligent life in the universe, the laws of physics render it impossible that any have visited Earth. Or is it? |
