Background
My name is Dave Trapani and I have
been an observational amateur astronomer for about 25 years. I only
recently started doing CCD imaging about two years ago from my roll off
roof observatory in Northern, NJ.
I enjoy
planetary imaging as well as deep sky imaging. Recently,I have also been imaging the Sun in H-a wavelength with a Coronado Maxscope 40 mm.
