My name is Michael. I am a humble man. Having raised 2 boys and one girl I am atill working as a electromecganical maintenance tech specualizing in automation and robotics and having served my country in the US Army and did serve in Iraq and Afghanistan I am glad to be aluve and well. I am also a blacksmith by hobbie and enjoy metalworking and machine building on my spare time. I have always been fascinated with space and the vastness within it. I wish to begin photographing nebulas and distant sights. I am still trying to acquire all tbe necessary knowledge required to build a viewing platform capable of imaging things not before seen by man. At the presebt I have a meade lx3 8in telescope and various smaller refective telescopes but dream of a much bigger dobsonian. One of my favorute related videos is the youtube video of john dobson making a large dobsonian and teaching a class how to grind tge lenses and build the scope. I would love to own a 24inch dob or a 16in meade cassgrain. The sights to be seen would be amazing.
