Profile: Prof.

Personal background
Ok , Im Prof. John P. Slivak , My age LOL , LOL ,? I really don't think it matters much.
But im 62 .
And have 32 yrs. of exp. In the field . I live at Mt. Regina Observatory & Science Information Center.Located in Nicetown Pa. Founded in 1701.
Im not from there tho. I came to Nicetown in 1973.
And founded the M.R.O. ( Mt. Regina Observatory. ). the same yr.
It was a family affair much like The Hershals .
My wife asnd our 5 children all took part in its forming. each doing what he / she was able to contribute.
And it worked perfectly. It started out w/ a 3 " f/15 Refracter & now
we have many scopes of all diameters from 3 " to 22".
I designed the 10 " & 17.5 Right here .
And now we have the largest Indepandant Observatory in the Phila. Pa. area.
We are located about 7.5 miles N/W of that city.
Our biggest foe is light pollution.
There is no end to it, every day more & more lighting is there.
so light pollution filters help. but they can't ever bring back those black sky's of 30 yrs ago.
As for hobby Im a guitar player , even had my own band yrs back.
Till ther British Invasion. I like to play the old western songs now,
the lod timey type , not this new crap.

So when the sky is grey i take my old Guitar and a few beers and just sit out on the porch and let loose a few Gene Autry Songs etc.
Hank Williams Johnny cash and old Jimmy Rodgers.
