Boundaries vanish when we look skyward ONE PEOPLE, ONE SKY
Hey stargazers! Vacation in beautiful British Columbia's Okanagan Valley and enjoy evening tours of the night sky with renowned amateur astronomer Jack Newton and his impressive observatory.
I highly recommend this site for beginning astronomers. Helpful 'how-tos', informative equipment descriptions, basics in astrophotography, collimating a Newtonian telescope, balancing equatorial mounts. Andy's site is dedicated to "astronomy and astrophotography for non-gazillionaires!"
