JeffPo's Astronomy Page
I've had an interest in astronomy and the stars from a very early age. Back before you were required to strap kids in car seats and seatbelts (a very good thing), I remember laying in the back dash of my parents car, looking at the stars through the back windshield. I was always amazed at the sheer number of stars seen and stars with color always grabbed my attention (especially red ones). In the 4th grade, my elementary school had a book fair and that's when I purchased my first book on the stars and planets. I still have it! In the 5th grade I got my first view of Jupiter through a telescope on a camping trip and I was hooked. I got my first telescope, a Sears 60mm refractor, when I was in the 6th grade and I was off and running. I am currently a member of the Raleigh Astronomy Club. They also have a FaceBook page:
