Welcome to
Hi,
I am glad you stopped by. Please take a few
minutes to look around. These pages are designed to
entertain and enlighten.
My "Gallery" page
contains some of the images I have captured with my
telescope and CCD imager. I am still learning the
techniques required for this art form but I do think
I have managed to create some nice images.
The "Astronomy
News" page is provided by the "Universe Today". The "Universe Today" site is
all about the science of Astronomy and has some great
articles on the exploration of our universe.
There are already many great sites with
information detailing the processes used for amateur
astronomy and astro imaging. Because that information
is already available I am not going to try to provide
any in-depth information here. What I will do is give
you a brief explanation of some key terms and
concepts. I have also provided a page of links to
various sites that give more detailed information. The
"Astro Links" page has
links to sites offering hardware, tutorials, software
and just about anything else related to astronomy and
imaging.
The "Equipment" page
gives an overview of my set-up for my astronomical
imaging. There are also a few hyperlinks to help with
some of the terminology.
The "RobServatory"
page details the setup of my new observatory.
Jokingly called my "RobServatory" (do I really have
to explain the name?). This is the newest addition to
the information on this site.
I have recently rewritten all of the html code on
my site to correct for some inconsistencies between
the pages. While most of the content and layout are
the same, I am hoping this rewrite will provide a
more pleasing experience for my guests.
Please note my web site is no longer actively being updated.
Clear skies,
Rob Cook
