Welcome to Steve Shellman's amateur astronomy page. I am a social scientist studying political conflict and terrorism by day and an amateur astronomer and astro-imager by night. Here you'll find some of my latest images, information on my equipment, observatory, and other resources. Thanks for stopping by. All of the images on this site were taken by me - good, bad, or indifferent..
