Not to get repetitive with the photographer posts, but this site is just too incredibly awesome to pass up and not blog.
Ruben Kier over at The Star Doctor has some of the most amazing astrophotos I have ever seen, but I think the real meat and potatoes of this website is the observatory this guy has set up in the mountains. The roof slides off and everything (and he even has a La-Z-Boy recliner in the observatory too!).
Says on the site he takes naps in the recliner and double-checks every hour or two that everything is still aligned, tracking, and in focus. Now that's the life!Once I get to retirement age, I hope I can have something this nice! This site is definitely something any amatuer astronomer can drool over!
