This is my first foray into the world of blogging. I wanted a place to publish my astrophotos so I decided to call this blog F Man's Astro Blog. F Man because that is my nickname at work as a teacher of astronomy, and physics. Astro because it will revolve around my interest in astronomy, astrophysics and astrophotography. This is definitely a work in progress since I have never blogged before. Not sure what I'm doing but here goes nothing.

| My First Astrophoto |
Last night I took my first astrophotos. I guess this makes me an astrophotographer. Sound pretty cool. My first pictures are pretty humble. I took them from my front yard in Ridgewood, NJ using my daughter's iPhone. The list of equipment I used included the following:
- Celestron C-8 OTA
- Celestron 32mm Plossl
- Celestron Moon Filter
- iOptron MiniTower GOTO AltAz Mount
- iPhone 5
- Orion SteadyPix Universal Telescope Photo Adapter for Smartphones
Here are the other photos I took during this session.
