I annoy telescopes and astrophotography. It occurred to me about a year and a half ago that I didn't know the sky at all, and I had never properly inspected it. I made a telescope out of some crappy lenses that i had and I used it to view last year's lunar eclipse. The telescope was shitty as hell so I went on Craigslist and bought myself one for $60. I liked it but I couldn't see much with it so I later bought a five inch reflector. I could see more and it was cool. I used it to look at the sky. This persisted through winter and this spring I bought a ten inch reflector that I have been using since. Now I drive out to a dark site to do observing every few weekends or so. If any of you guys live in Illinois I'd be happy to do a meetup. The observing site I go to is pretty much smack dab in the middle of the state.
