One Year One Scope: GSSP 2012 Observing Report
http://oneyearonescope.blogspot.com/2012/08/gssp-2012-observing-report.html
Friday, August 24, 2012. GSSP 2012 Observing Report. The Golden State Star Party is a yearly event held under very dark skies near Adin, in Northern California. How dark? It is on the fantastic Dark Sky Finder right on the edge of a black zone. You can look all over California on the map and find only a handful of black sky sites, and most are tiny islands. True, this is on the edge of a grey zone, but compared to my normal semi-dark observing location, Joshua Tree, CA. Forever a piece of me in California.

Welcome to FaintFuzzies.com
http://www.faintfuzzies.com/Index.htm
The name of this website was inspired by my passion of observing very faint deep sky objects under dark skies. They appear as Faint Fuzzies even in large telescopes, such as my 22" and 30" reflectors, even in my friend's 48" reflector. Just released for beginner and intermediate observers: Three Herschel observing guides covering about 1,100 objects visible in 6" to 10" telescopes. To get an example of what you can see through a large telescope, check out my Observing Reports. Here is a couple recent rep...

One Year One Scope: A Better Scope
http://oneyearonescope.blogspot.com/2012/08/a-better-scope.html
Tuesday, August 7, 2012. There are lots of great scopes out there, many better than my workhorse Orion XT8. But each in different ways. I do all sorts of observing, but my favorite objects, the ones I spend the most time observing and go back to again and again, are deep sky objects: Galaxies, Nebula of all sorts, and particularly, globular clusters. Oh the majesty of a beautiful globular cluster! Living in Los Angeles, CA, if I want to see anything aside from the two dozen brightest stars in the sky, I ...

One Year One Scope: Done! : 490 days, One Scope, Few Posts, and First Light
http://oneyearonescope.blogspot.com/2013/12/done-490-days-one-scope-few-posts-and.html
Saturday, December 7, 2013. 490 days, One Scope, Few Posts, and First Light. 490 Days, One Scope. For those of you who may have joined us recently, this blog is called One Year One Scope because that was my plan. You can read all the details here. But the short of it is I wanted to buy/build/find a new telescope in one year. Well, here it is 490 days (1.34246 years) later and I have something like the better scope I set out to build. So I missed my one year goal, but considering I moved to Australia.

One Year One Scope: The Geminids and The Astronomical Society of Victoria
http://oneyearonescope.blogspot.com/2012/12/the-geminids-and-astronomical-society.html
Saturday, December 15, 2012. The Geminids and The Astronomical Society of Victoria. So yeah, hmmm. it's been a while since I posted. Looks like it's been almost a month since my last post. And that was just a quick note about moving to Australia for a while. If you discount that, it's been almost two months. It's been a busy time, but I'm finally feeling settled into the new city and the job duties are smoothing out, so I'm hoping to write a bit more. Time and the Geminids. I have several potential solut...
