the title of the YouTube video is Blueshift the new Redshift.
About Me
I am an advid photographer of landscape and night sky and been enjoying learning astrophotography as well.
About Me
Retired IT professional with a desire to experience the childhood amazement of seeing the moons of Jupiter and rings of Saturn.
About Me
I grew up in Massachusetts, and have lived in the Seattle area since the early 1980s. As a kid, I was interested in the stars and watched several lunar eclipses. In my 20s I worked in public radio announcing classical music. I play the bassoon. My career was in Information Technology. I was thrilled to view the total solar eclipses of 2017 and 2024. That rekindled my interest in astronomy and recently led to me to buy a 6" tabletop Dobsonian.

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 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!
About Me
I am an Artist and a Maker. Photography, woodworking, astronomy and music are my passions.
About Me
My name is “Dave” Ingram and I am the SAS, Vice President of Education.
I work with Aaron and the SAS Board and with our wonderful outreach volunteers to properly welcome new members at every level of experience to the “Society”. I already know that you are curious about the stars just like I am.
Together, we can share what attracts us all to the night sky. The Society provides a wide, thoughtful selection of educational opportunities that can guide you to learn, to share and to enjoy our being an SAS amateur astronomer.
I was raised in clean air and under starry skies in Indiana farm country; a true “Hoosier”. My high school buddies and I studied science and math. In our free time we worked farm jobs, “bucked” bales of hay, tended dairy herds and built model planes, model rockets. We even blew a few up. With the help of our physics teacher, we also ground mirrors and built Dobsonian telescopes from “Edmond Scientific plans.
In Missouri, I attended a small-college and earned a degree in Literature with a minor in Education.
In 2011, after 30+ years I retired from Boeing. In the summers of 2012-2014 I was an astronomy Volunteer in Park (ViP) at the Glacier National Park, MT.. Together with 3 other ViPs, I shared the Sun, the Milky Way, aurora borealis, the Moon, planets and stars with over 20,000 guests under some of the darkest skies in America’s National Park system.
I am what you would call, a dedicated “all-season, visual” stargazer, sharing my passion for astronomy and science with my grandkids and with any other children and adults who are still “kids-at-heart”. I participate in over 30 SAS “astronomy outreach” events a year. I strongly support the International Dark-sky Association www.darksky.orgwith my time and money often traveling the four-state area (ID-MT-OR-WA) and the USA to promote the “dark sky movement which advocates citizen involvement in protecting and restoring dark night skies for us and for all future generations.
If you are like me, and you love exploring the celestial sphere; if you want to learn how to share the adventure and grandeur of astronomy, please reach out to me. I’d love to get to know what drives you to infinity and beyond the stars! -- Dave
