They’re what you accumulate when you combine a zeal for cutting-edge computer technology with astronomy observation. That’s our Tom. He’s an avid, no, obsessed techno-astronomer who has compiled an exhausting catalogue of important information that spans an incredible list of astronomy products, imaging systems and their applications, idiosyncratic behavior of software, hardware and operating system combinations, things to do and not to do, as well as the things to see and not to see.
If you’ve been to a “Star Party” in the last decade, you’ve likely met Tom Bisque. If so, you know his passion and his open willingness to help anyone and everyone as they develop as astronomers. So, while enjoying his missives and observations, remember there’s a treasure trove of real information there that’ll ease your path to increased enjoyment of our products and those of fellow astronomy software engineers and manufacturers.
