I'm a casual, low tech, sightseer. I've been interested in astronomy
all my life, and I've been stuck at the "intermediate amateur" stage for
35 or 40 years. I love the night sky, and I enjoy picking my way
through and around it. I spend most of my time under the night sky
naked eye, followed by binoculars, and then my old C8. I'm lucky enough
to live in a tiny Iowa town with at least half decent skies, and I could
never live in a place where it doesn't get dark.
