Welcome to my website. I started this website to share my love of astronomy with the world. I am the astrophotographer who took the images shown in the galleries on this site. Astrophotography has always been a part of my astronomy hobby as well.

 

Please feel free to download, print and enjoy these images as well. If you share them on the web, please provide credit to Wildcat Astronomy for them.

​

I enjoy learning new things about space, science, and technology, and I love to share it with others in my teaching.

 

I purchased a Celestron Origin that I am now using as my main imaging system, and I look forward to sharing images taken with it in my gallery. I am embedded in the Smart Telescope world now. I continue to use a little Seestar S50 for grab and go use, and some of the images I have done with it are on the Seestar S50 gallery page. I processed those images with PixInsight as well just to display what is possible witht his little scope. I think the Seestar S50 is a great little instrument for anyone looking for a low end price point in a Smart telescope.

​

I love to write about astronomy and I have added many of my own thoughts and ideas on a variety of topics within the earth science areas inside of my blog articles. Physical Sciences is what I specialized in when I attended the University of Lethbridge located in Alberta, Canada, and I obtained a Bachelor of Education degree. I am a believer that all of science works together and is best used in that context. I try to take a holistic viewpoint in my writing.

​​

One fun area on the Wildcat Astronomy website is the monthly ZOOM ASTRONOMY TALK meetings that I facilitate, where astronomy hobbyists will gather to talk about astronomy and gear. You can also participate in these Zoom sessions by sending an email from the form down below, and in the subject area, please request to be added to the ZOOM invitation list. All I need is your consent and your email address.​​
