I am Ralph Megna. By day I am leading a team that is developing a small electric car that can be driven by those in wheelchairs, but many of my evenings and weekends are devoted to amateur astronomy from an observatory in the Mojave Desert. I also travel to major celestial events such as total solar eclipses.
I have also been using Macintosh computers for over 30 years (began with a Lisa in 1983). Part of my purpose in putting up this website is to illustrate how the Mac can make amateur astronomy a more enjoyable and rewarding hobby.
