The Person Behind the Eyepiece | Main Page

By now you are probably wondering who I am and where I am from. It all started on September 26, 1982, when I was born; Robert John Teeter Jr. Only fourteen years after that I began my fascination with the hobby I so dearly love.

It was a simple camping trip in the summer of 1996, but it would soon spark my love for Astronomy. At the time I had no idea such large scopes like the 8" f/6 that I have now existed. After that weekend of camping I vowed to have one of those telescopes one day and here I am now...with four of them!

Shifting away from Astronomy, I have other involvements with which I par-take. In my high school, I am part of the school newspaper (The Accent) for which I am the Photography Editor. I choose and lay out where certain pictures and which articles even deserve pictures. Being a part of the school newspaper allows me to write (yet another love in my life) and not worry about if it is good enough in a certain teacher's eyes; I really enjoy recreational writing.

I also enjoy some sports such as bowling, basketball and baseball. Bowling, being my favorite, takes up most of my time and effort next to Astronomy as a hobby. Like Astronomy, I have stuck with bowling for the last three years and have honed my skills (I currently carry a 138 average, for those of you wondering).
