Psalm 19:1-2
The
heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they display
knowledge.
Thanks for
stopping by to visit! This is a site focused on astronomical imaging.
I chose to begin this page with the opening verses of Psalm 19, one of my favorite
Psalms. These verses touch on the underlining motivation behind my
long time passion for astronomy, and
my desire to become proficient
in the technically challenging art of astrophotography. I put the site
together as a place to display my on-going attempts to capture the grandeur
of
the night sky, and to share those results with others.
For
those new to astronomy, there is much to see and learn about the objects
that fill the night sky. Some of these objects are truly
amazing, and show the incredible beauty and diversity of the heavens. These objects
are extremely distance and very dim, requiring hours and hours of exposure
to capture. They are objects that are
shrouded by time and distance, and are only visible in
the dark of the night.........hence the name of the observatory and website:
"DarkSights".
There is
always something else to learn in this hobby, so I really do covet your
comments and suggestions concerning the website, any of the images, or my
equipment. I thank you in
advance for your comments! (click
here for my e-mail address,
of course you have to replace the "_at_" in the address with "@" )
I hope you feel at
home as you look around. Since I opened this page with the first couple of verses of Psalm 19,
it's only fitting to end with the closing verse.
Psalm 19:14
May the
words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight,
O LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer.
