Expertise

I can answer all questions relating to FILM based astronomy photography (astrophotography). If you have a telescope and a film SLR camera, I can help. If you use a digital camera, I will defer as the two techniques are different.

Experience

I have been an astrophotographer since 1986. I have photos published by Meade telescope corp., on-line on several astronomy based websites, and operate my own astrophotography teaching website. I also have a business selling gifts (cups, posters, prints t-shirts etc.) with my astrophotography on them.

Organizations
I am a moderator for the www.CloudyNights.com website.

Publications
Photos published by Meade Telescope corp. Photos displayed at US Embassies overseas.

Education/Credentials
All my astrophotography based education was self-taught, as it is not taught in any school.
