Steve has been an amateur astronomer for over 50 years, and has been a member of HAL since 2001. His first telescope was a modest 6 inch Newtonian, and over the years he has progressed to bigger and bigger scopes. He now uses a 16 inch DOB for deep sky observing, and he also has a 4 inch refractor which he uses mostly for solar observing. Steve has an observatory in West Virginia with dark skies where he does his deep sky observing. He first starting working on the AL’s observing programs in 1990, and so far has completed 22 of them.
