Astraeus Observatory is located in Central Kentucky, approximately 800 feet above sea level, with an unobstructed view of the night sky and miles from the nearest light polluted city.  With plenty of dark skies, the bright band of the Milky Way is clearly visible and naked eye objects such as M42 and M31 easily stand out.  Housed in the completely motorized 10 foot Technical Innovations Pro-Dome, is a 10” Meade LX200GPS, which I control using The Sky X SAE (Software Bisque), running on my MacBook Pro.  Construction started in mid 2008 and was finished in late 2009.  Pictures of that adventure can be found here or by clicking on the Construction link above. :)  Feel free to have a look around the site and please contact me if you have any questions or comments.  I also have an observing log linked at the top of this page that details each nightly session that takes place, along with some other entries about the day to day happenings of my ‘second home’.
