Is it better to buy a complete amateur astronomy telescope system that includes optical tube, mount, drive, etc or can you get better quality by assembling your own from individual components. Dustin talks advantages and disadvantages to both.
Tony is finally getting to a place where he can start construction on his backyard observatory for his 20 inch reflector. In this episode, we discuss the value of having a permanent place for your telescope and it doesn't have to be fancy!
We have a guest today! Beth Johnson from the SETI Institute kindly agreed to join us to talk about her role at the SETI Institute and what they are doing to help us find signs of intelligence in the universe.
Tony's been thinking a lot out his life and the meaning it holds. Getting philosophical, Dustin helps Tony realize that autoguiders are the key to understanding.

Great show, PLEASE keep ‘em comin’! Covers everything astro. I do astrophotography and would like to start doing some visual observing. Perfect podcast so far! Just please keep giving us episodes.
I have been doing astrophotography for years and still learn something new every time I listen.
Space Junk is my favorite podcast, period! (And I subscribe to quite a few podcasts in various interest areas and genres) I love the conversation, the educational components, and the humility yet great knowledge of the presenters. Please keep the podcasts rolling in! Thank you.
Finally a true astrtophotography podcast, a lot of knowledge, tips and guidance that will save you time, money and frustration in the hobby. Thank you, thank you, thank you... and please keep posting new episodes
I started astrophotography in September and wanted a podcast to listen to on the way to work. After listen to a few others I stumbled upon this one. I love it. I love the banter between Dustin and Tony. I love the way Tony asks dumb questions to Dustin to find out what stuff is. It’s not because Tony doesn’t know, he’s just asking the dumb questions I would ask as a noob but on my behalf. I love the guests, the variety, the humour. I have a 45 min drive to work and it’s perfect for that drive. O... more
