Welcome!

My name is Deacon Bill. I am an avid observational astronomer. That means I would rather look at the pretty fuzzies than talk about the eyepieces used to see them. The goal of this site is to help people observe. There are lots of maps and other resources available. If you find them helpful, take a second to let me know.
