The Wonders of the Universe: From a rooftop
Check out a few glimpses of the universe though the lens of an amateur’s telescope. These images have been captured either with a small telescope on the roof of my house outside of Chicago, or with a small scope I have set up at a remote observatory site in the dark skies of Central Texas (Thank you Starfront Observatories).
The images are a collection of targets from our Northern Hemisphere.
All of the images were taken by me, using my own amateur astrophotography equipment.
