Tom Heisey Photography and Astronomy

Welcome to my little corner of the web! I'm heavily involved in astronomy and photography feel that I can share a bit of knowledge with others on this site. I have less to offer in my other interests (computers, long distance cycling, RVing, and more), so I have very little about them on these pages. I may add pages for my other interests as time allows. (Spare time? HA!)
