Nico Carver joins us tonight to share lessons he learned in building his backyard observatory. Building a backyard observatory can seem daunting, and doubly so if doing it on your own with no building experience. But the good news is the amateur astronomy community loves to share so there is a lot of excellent, free information available online in forums, blogs, and past presentations on TAIC. In this presentation, Nico hopes to add to that growing body of knowledge with the top lessons he learned from his recent observatory build.
Nico Carver has always been a camera nut, but when he discovered astrophotography seven years ago it quickly became an obsession. Nico's professional training is in library science and from 2019 to 2022 he worked as an astronomy librarian at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. Starting in 2023, he went full time with astrophotography education and his primary mission is helping beginners get started with astrophotography through detailed videos on his KZitem channel, Nebula Photos. As the channel name suggests, Nico’s favorite objects to photograph are nebulae.
