What The Heck Is Scopeseeing? Minimize

The generic astronomical experience is all about reveling in the wonder and awe of the universe

  • Stars, galaxies, asterisms, planets, comets, clusters, asteroids, nebulas – all the usual suspects

Scopeseeing is about reveling in the majesty and wonder of man’s own accomplishment!!

  • Telescopes are technological marvels and represent the apex of man’s scientific striving
  • Telescopes and observatories are literal “objets d’ artes”, beautiful and commanding in their own right

Thanks for attending my DVAA presentation! I hope you found it both interesting and useful. Actually I'll be best pleased if I left you stoked and ready to start your own Scopeseeing!!

This website is very much under construction but if you want, you can download the PowerPoint from my presentation, view my McDonald Observatory Album or read "Eyeballs", an article I wrote about the very first visual observation of 2003 UB313 (Eris), which for an all too brief time was our "brand-new" 10th planet.

Also, feel free to contact me at (louis@bitmaven.com or 215-316-8538) if you have any questions at all or if you want to join one of my tours.
