I restore wrecked telescopes and make YouTube videos about it. Occasional equipment reviews too.

I tried astrophotography years ago… and completely failed. So I decided to try again with a dedicated #astronomy camera. Moon ✔️ Jupiter ✔️ Orion Nebula ✔️ (barely 😅) If #astrophotography seems intimidating, this beginner guide might help. 🔭 youtu.be/DNvT2pcnNKU

From zero setup to a real image of the Orion Nebula in under 5 minutes. No editing. No shortcuts. Just live stacking and a small telescope. Watch it happen in real time: youtu.be/U72OmaOrz0E #Astrophotography #OrionNebula #SharpCap

FOUND: One of the earliest Telrad prototypes in existence. I got to test it on camera — and even the current Telrad makers said they learned new things. Watch the full story: youtu.be/VKQiIYTsQnM #Astronomy #Telrad

Found & tested what’s likely the very first Telrad ever made - the ORIGINAL prototype. Here’s the exact glowing reticle from that historic unit. The finder that’s guided astronomers for nearly 50 years. Full history + test: youtu.be/VKQiIYTsQnM What surprised you most?

It's not every day you get to look through the Prototype TELRAD for the first time this century... at a full #moon while Artemis II is on their trip. Click the link below to see the 30 minute documentary... youtu.be/VKQiIYTsQnM

I finally got a tracking mount for my telescopes. The top right crater is the central peak of the Theophilos crater on the #Moon. #SkyWatcher AZGTi
