Welcome to our DIY Astronomy pages. Gail and I have been interested in astronomy since 2006. She is a retired teacher/librarian. I'm a retired engineer/systems developer. We've been experimenting with different approaches to our hobby. Gail now uses an
ETX125. I've been experimenting with various telescopes on a German Equatorial Mount (GEM). We hope that our experiences give you some ideas on how to make working with telescopes easier.
All of the projects here are rather inexpensive. Nothing increases creativity better than a tight budget.
We'd like to thank our many friends at the Northern Cross Science Foundation (NCSF) here in Wisconsin. Their encouragement and advice is greatly appreciated.
