Hi I'm Codey, I'm an Amatuer Astronomer from Kentucky! I'm a man of many hats, I can do a bit of IT,astronomy,astrophysics,orbital mechanics,some bit of programing, and a bit of other stuff.

This is my basic setup at the time being:

Uranus

Nikon D3200
50 points

Got to see this little point of blue light during the 2014 October Lunar Eclipse. Uranus Wasn't able to see it through the telescope since I was using it to watch the eclipse. Waiting to see it again when we swing around the sun once again later this year.

Ring Nebula

Celestron AstroMaster 114EQ
10 points

Took me a few nights to find this nebula. It has a nice visible ring shape,even in a small telescope. I wasn't able to see the star in the middle since my old telescope wasn't the best. Waiting for Lyra to come around again to view it in my Skyview Pro.

Dumbbell Nebula

Celestron AstroMaster 114EQ
20 points

My first telescope was great at showing my first views of the night sky. My first DSO target was the Dumbbell nebula. It looked quite round compared to what I thought it would be. Colorless, almost featureless.
