    Default A brief introduction.



    I am an ATM of 45 years, built two 24 inch Dobs one that won an award at Reverside. had John Dobson at my home north of Reno for a week! Wished it was a month! Am an old school astrophotographer that use to Hyper film and used dry ice imulsion cooling. I own the Celestron C-11 used in the Lumicon adds of the 80 ies. It has near perfect optics. I decided to join to share what I could as far as knowlage, and pick up on some new stuff!

    Welcome to the forum. 24" dobs are quite an ATM achievement. My best effort was a 6", but now use Celestron and Meade scopes.

    Hello Garthelliott,

    Welcome to the forum. I'm sure that we'll all benefit from your impressive experience.

    Between your scope and the Nevada night skies, you must get some fantastic views out there! I once stayed in Rachel, NV for a few days and couldn't believe the skies!

    All the best,

    - Amurje
