"The Author's former night assistant"
My name is Albert Dill, proprietor of Tarpaulin Observatory. The reasoning behind the name for the facility is pretty obvious. I plan to stick with the name even after the observatory gets walls. Someday! I am located inside of a small city, hence the tarp. It blocks light from my neighbor's "security light".
The purpose of this page is to give me a place to post my activities involving variable stars, astrophotos and CCD light curves. My own light curves at this point are unfiltered and consist of differential magnitudes only. Enjoy!
