About Us
Inspired by Wonders of the Universe
My name is Tom Beck and after 50 years running a technology company have finally gotten the opportunity to indulge my childhood fascination with wonders of the universe. Opportunities for continuous learning on theoretical and practical aspects of astronomy and astrophotography seem endless. That education began with purchase of an 8 inch reflector and soon developed into a fairly powerful addiction that is helping to burn off our children's inheritance. It is also easy to get excited about sharing the stunning and humbling wonders of the universe with others of all ages.
