The purpose of this website is to give visitors a glimpse into my experience with the hobby of amateur astronomy.  While I enjoy creating and maintaining the actual website, it is the enjoyment I get in spending time viewing and photographing the visible universe that continues to fuel my interests.

I'll continue to post new pictures and update this website periodically.  I find that it is often a matter of finding the time to enjoy the hobby that is my greatest obstacle.  Most of my time goes toward teaching.  Here's the link to the site I've made for my life science students:  http://www.rattlerscience.com
