A site dedicated to learning Astronomy One Step at a Time. Orion XT10 New Scope. On Star finder fixed! On Star finder fixed! Welcome to my world. My name is Roger and I created this blog to help me in my study of Astronomy. Astronomy from what I know is a huge area covering planetary science, Astrophotography, telescope making, spectroscopy, etc… So it shouldn’t get boring.

I then thought to get my red flashlight and shine it through the Televue finder and it worked great! Well, that’s all for now-. Haha, poor puppy!
