This image is one of my earliest astrophotography image. So six years ago. The title is "I Am Here." said the Milky Way. For centuries mankind has been studying and exploring the universe. For the past year or so, I have been taking astronomy classes online through my astronomy club. Most of the club members are at PhD or Masters level. I am at kindergarten level. I am able to keep up somewhat, but I am at a major disadvantage. I never took advance math classes or physics in either high school or college. Plus I am learning with a 71 year old brain. But hey, I am interested in learning this stuff. I'm grateful we have Google classroom where I can review the video lessons and read the slide presentations over and over again.

I have two rules as far as astrophotography goes. Rule 1: Nothing ventured, nothing gained (I tell myself this when I start to wimp out at going out at night to do photography.) Rule 2: Use it or lose it. (Challenge the brain. Don't be the old dog who cannot learn new tricks.) These two rules keep me relevant and motivated in today's world.
