Here’s a page we’re calling “Through the Looking Glass”
We’ve setup this page to help share some of Jimi Lowreys sketches. All sketches were made using his 48” f/4 OMI Newtonian from the mountains of West Texas just outside Ft. Davis. You can read more about “Barbarella” here at OMI’s website.
Those with access to large scopes and/or dark skies should not be discouraged! Many of these objects are off the beaten path and are good hunting material! Good luck and happy hunting!
