I was only contacted (out of the blue) by one famous person. Art Bell emailed me in December 2017.

"Hi there, I read both of your books and LOVED them. Thank you so much for taking the time to create. By the way they would make into a great Movie!
Art Bell"

I waited 39 years to build MacGyver's infamous paper telescope. 👀

Spoiler: It Failed Spectacularly - @hwinkler4real.bsky.social , I think I still need a little Fonzie-level backup. 😅

Tonight was one of the last times we get to see the moon Titan cast its shadow on Saturn for many years. It'll happen one more time next month. This was captured with a 12 inch Dobsonian #telescope and a smartphone camera: #astronomy #saturn #titan #stem

This is my best ISS flyover video so far, recorded last night. The four images here were pulled from the full video. I recorded this with a smartphone held up against my telescope. Here is the full video:

I'm glad it was helpful! Part 2 is pretty elaborate and is taking quite some time, but it should be very effective at showing how the primary mirror is situated.
