Having launched the project to construct my backyard observatory, I thought a website dedicated to the observatory would be appropriate. And, it seemed a good opportunity to provide a focused test case for learning some new web management software too, namely this Drupal CMS.

I hope to have this site contain:

• Planning and construction journal for the observatory – possibly useful to others planning similar projects.
• A record of the climb up the steep learning curve of Astrophotography.
• An image gallery of successful (and unsuccessful) Astro-Images.
• A blog that will serve as the journal for individual sessions in the observatory.
• Possibly a home to which I will migrate the various web articles I have written on amateur astronomy on my personal web site.
• Anything else that comes to mind.
