Why Deep Sky Eye ?

My name is Tim Doucette.  I am legally blind, meaning I only have about 10% of my eyesight.  I was blind for the first year of my life due to cataracts (a clouding of the lens of the eye).  Seems the first six months of a baby's life is when the eyes develop. Missed the boat on that one.

The easiest way to explain it to the techies is:  If your eye is a 10 megapixel camera, mine only has the resolution of a 1 megapixel camera.  Give me enough magnification (telescope) and I will see what you see, in fact in some cases better. Why you may ask? That’s an interesting story… Come for a visit and I’ll tell you all about it :)

In 2014 we moved to my hometown of Quinan, NS and in 2015 - Deep Sky Eye Observatory was re-born.
