Hello. My name is Robert C. Ray Jr. I have been studying certain fields in astronomy for about 40 years independently. I have a huge interest in asteroids meteorites, which I collect and hunt, and spectrum analysis. I love all of the aspects of the science and would love to try my hand at astrophotography in the very near future. Aside from space science I love to build models. Anything from WW2 machines and dioramas to spacecraft and rocketry. I'm a HUGE Dale Earnhardt fan so of course I watch NASCAR. I also rout for the Baltimore Ravens on game day. I also have 2 black lab australian shepherds named Brandie and Bear. They are 4 year old brother and sister. I am 53 years old and married to my wonderful wife Stephanie. I am a Baltimore native currently living in West Virginia. To be continued.
