Nebula : All these objects are part of our Milkyway galaxy. Clouds of dust and gas, some glowing from strong ultraviolet pouring out of a nearby star (usually red), some reflecting light off a star (blue) or dark nebula blocking out light from stars beyond. Also dying stars either exploded millennia ago or slowly puffing their atmosphere into space, all are spectacular.

Observatory Construction : In my 20s and 30s I built two observatories and two observatory telescope mounts (among a number of smaller portable telescopes and mounts).  The logistics of handling parts too large and heavy for one person to pick up are interesting.  The photos in this gallery will give you a feel for what those projects were like.

Stars/Constellations : The closest I'll get to outer space...for now...

I know the previews look like a black cat, in a coal mine, at night.  Just select one and watch the stars appear.
