 Welcome to our world of
                  photography of the day and night skies from the Birch Mesa Observatory
                  in Payson at the base of the Mogollon Rim, and the Clear Creek
                  Canyon Observatory on top of the Colorado Plateau in Northern
                  Arizona. From the stationary and Schmidt cameras, to state-of-the-art
                  computer controlled large homebuilt astrographs, our goal is
                  to record the endless beauty of the night sky on CCD, DSLR, Film,
                  and digital detectors to share with you and others. Here you
                  can find the best and hardest earned images that we have captured
                  of the night sky.
