In the words of Douglas Adams, author of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy,
Space is big. You just won’t believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it’s a long way down the road to the chemist’s, but that’s just peanuts to space.
This blog serves as a journal for my path from armchair astronomer to a professional, but the vast mega-hugeness of the cosmos and everything within is the real star here.
My current telescope is a 6-inch reflector with Dobsonian mount. I won’t be finding any new exoplanets with it, but it’s great for deep sky objects.
