Confessions of a Frustrated Amateur Astronomer

And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also. - Genesis 1:16

Unfortunately God also made chromatic aberration, angular magnification distortion, rectilinear distortion, wavelength transmission anomalies, vignetting, light loss, wavefront aberrations, coma, astigmatism, spherical aberrations, thermal issues, dirty mirrors, bad collimation, Earth rotation, humidity, bad focus, light pollution, wobbly mounts and back pains.
