I am an retired engineer who worked in the semiconductor manufacturing industry for 32 years. I live, play, and work in the Austin, TX area. I have been involved in amateur astronomy for about 14 years. All my telescopes are of the "go to" variety which means that they are computer controlled and will "go to" objects in the objects catalog after aligning the mount to 2-3 stars. I currently own the following telescopes: Orion Skyquest XTg12 Dobson (truss Dob, computerized and tracks) Celestron Nexstar 80GT refractor Celestron Nexstar Evolution 8 (my favorite for sidewalk astronomy) View all posts by psalm19astronomy
