About Chuck Hawks and this website: I hope that you enjoy the information and photographs available on Astronomy and Photography Online. I am a former professional photographer. I spent many years managing a specialty camera and telescope store and taught photography at the local community college. I got my start in amateur astronomy in the middle 1980's and I have owned a number of telescopes since that time. I also sold telescopes at the retail level for many years. During that time I became acquainted with the problems and questions that concern many amateur astronomers, especially those just starting out in this interesting hobby.
