This is kind of a cool site by a designer/illustrator that makes his own astronomy equipment, mirrors (lenses) and all. I struggle to maintain an interest in Astronomy but I appreciate anyone hacking this type of thing together from scratch. It's a bit similar to my snowlab project, although I tend not to dwell on the equipment too much (not in public anyway, in reality it consumes me) I like the colorful graph screenshot, it looks cool.

A dumping ground for posts documenting half finished projects and/or projects which failed to maintain my, or anyone else's interest. There may be other people's half finished stuff here too. You know... Ideas that seemed really great at the time but just couldn't fly in the real world. Who knows, you might find something valuable in here. Like one of those people who buy a painting at a garage sale only to find out it was Heizenburgh's first finger painting.
