Scott’s Astronomy Page came into being in early March of 1998, shortly after I returned from a total solar eclipse cruise in the Caribbean. I needed a place to share photos of the eclipse and the trip with family and friends, and from that modest beginning, the site was born. Over the past 25+ years, it has grown alongside my passion for both astronomy and web design.

Originally a test bed for my college web design projects, the site gradually evolved into a hub for sharing amateur astronomy content covering everything from night sky events and star party schedules to astrophotography, telescope tips, and educational resources. It’s been hosted on nine different ISPs over the years and has welcomed thousands of visitors from all over the world.

One of the most rewarding aspects has been connecting with others through the site. I’ve had the privilege of answering countless emails on topics ranging from telescopes and astrophotography to feedback about the site itself. Most often, the questions revolve around choosing equipment or getting started with capturing the night sky.

You may have noticed that the site is especially geared toward those new to the hobby. I’ve made a conscious effort to keep the content easy to read and free of complicated equations or heavy astronomical jargon. Whether you’re just getting started or simply curious about the night sky, my hope is that the site makes astronomy feel accessible, inspiring, and fun.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my site. I truly appreciate your interest. Your feedback, questions, and suggestions are always welcome. If you feel inspired to reach out, don’t hesitate to use the contact form. I’d love to hear from you.

Clear Skies!

Scott
