Clear Sky Clock
My observatory is fully robotic and allows me to image deep sky objects remotely via the internet. I
travel a lot and this has really been a wonderful feature. I also developed the automation system
that allows me to operate the observatory. It is called the m1OASYS (Observatory Automation
System).

Imaging The Cosmos - Chris Hetlage
I started into astrophotography just before the Mars opposition of 2003. I've been hooked ever since.
Now I'm building my astrophotography album with images of the planets, deep space objects, the moon,
sun, etc. It has been a very exciting and rewarding pastime for me!
Astrophotography has also become a very serious part of this hobby. I really enjoy the
challenge of producing the best astrophotographs that I can. It is very satisfying to get
good results. I have discovered that post processing is at least 50 percent of
astrophotography and is truly an art form all by itself. Having knowledge of Adobe
Photoshop or other premier image editing tools is essential. Many astrophotographers have
been extraordinarily helpful in this hobby, Bobby Middleton, Jim Janusz, John Mirtle, Chris
Cook, John Boudreau, Tony Hallas, Ken Crawford and Chris Hetlage just to name a few.
One of the great things about this hobby is the willingness of amateur astronomers to
share their knowledge, successes and failures.
