Welcome to New Astronomer. I am Canadian amateur astronomer from Oshawa, Ontario. I have always been fascinated by astronomy ever since I was a child. In August 2013, I purchased my first telescope and haven’t looked back since.

I created this website to share my discoveries and experiences in amateur astronomy. If you are new to astronomy, you can relate to what I am going through in this extremely fun hobby. I will be writing reports, uploading photos and sketches, and even videos. So stay tuned and hit that Follow button and participate.

I am a member of the Durham Region Astronomical Association as well as a member of various online forums.

Clear skies!
