     Welcome to my website, which strives to present the pictorial beauty of the universe beyond our solar system. Gallery images range from wide-angle panoramas of the Milky Way to close-ups of distant galaxies.  Except where noted, all images on this site were taken and processed by me.  Much credit goes to Rent-A-Scope and the New Mexico Skies Guest Observatory, whose superb equipment was used to capture many of the images.

     The reviews page contains my personal comments regarding the equipment and techniques used to acquire and process the photos. Visitors are encouraged to contact me with any questions or comments.  Special thanks to the Chicago Astronomical Society for their support, especially Tom Pappalardo, for introducing me to Rent-A-Scope and for his indispensable help in creating this website.  The website is continually updated, as I acquire additional images, so please come back from time to time.  I hope you enjoy the pictures.
