About Me
Ever since watching the Voyager on TV as it passed Jupiter, I've wanted to pursue the stars. As early as 12 years old, I recall wanting to get a PhD in orbital mechanics and work at JPL. I ended up taking a different course through aerospace engineering, technical Japanese interpretting, and software engineering while working at Boeing, Amazon, Xbox and others.
Most of my obvserving is visual, but recently I've taken a renewed interest in astrophotography. I live and work 100% remotely from central Washington (Chelan area), and enjoy seeing the Milky Way just 10 feet from my front-door.
For the past ten years, I've built and operated the SAS website and backend IT (email, web hosting, etc).
In 2014, I was recognized by Astronomical League for its Webmaster Award.
About Me
Hooked on telescopes and astronomy since I was a kid. I always thought I might retire somewhere with dark skies and build an observatory and learn astrophotography. Then I thought why wait? - I can learn astrophotography now! So I bought a new Newt, an RC, and some gear and I'm learning a lot in my yard under suburban skies. I have been enjoying meeting other amateur astronomers and attending SAS star parties.
About Me
Former President of SAS, deep sky visual observer and astrophotographer.
About Me
I am a life-long learner, deeply curious about the wondrous universe in which we live. I have been a NASA/JPL Solar System Ambassador since 2001 and I also teach about astronomy and planetary science in a variety of settings.
About Me
I love science in many ways, from aeronautics to computer and micro-controller programming.
I'm just a beginner on astronomy, hoping to make this science another passion in my life.
About Me
I am a novice at stargazing and hope to improve my proficiency. I have spent my career in financial services largely because my all-girls high school didn't have a physics class. Making up for that in my adult years, I'm hoping to improve to ultimately studing and photographing the night sky! I have a lot of happy learning to do!
