Astronomy interests me as an amateur. I periodically star-gaze with an 8″ Dobsonian, an 8″ Schmidt-Cassegrain and a 3.5″ Maksutov. Our skies are quite dark here in New Mexico, ideal for watching the skies. I also enjoy watching the sun (through a thick filter).
Some pictures of the May 20, 2011 annular solar eclipse that passed over Santa Fe. 3.5″ Maksutov
