Two skies,
one obsession.

Two cameras stare straight up — refreshing through the night, capturing meteors, satellites, aurora and the slow wheel of the Milky Way. The home rig sits in the Adirondack foothills; the Texas unit lives under genuinely dark Bortle-2 skies.

Both cams record overnight and ship the finished MP4 to IONOS at sunrise. Pick a date from the archive strip below each player to revisit older nights — and watch for the meteors, satellites, and aurora that didn't make it into the still gallery.

A rotating selection of recent astrophotography — nebulae, galaxies, planetary detail and the occasional lunar mosaic. Every image is the sum of dozens of hours of stacked exposures and patient processing.

A purpose-built mission-control dashboard for the observatory — telescope status, target queues, sky conditions, and capture history at a glance. The same workflow I use nightly, now a stand-alone project.

Equipment, philosophy, and a running log of recent observation sessions across the two sites.
