Welcome to LiveAstronomy.org!  Here I post the images and video sessions (no audio since I broadcast to NightSkiesNetwork.com at the same time) of what I view from Northeast Philadelphia.  This site displays the images I capture on the left side menus (Photos and Flickr, as well as newest image posts from CloudyNights) and videos posted to my YouTube channel on the right.
