📡 MISSION UPDATE: I'm heading to New Mexico in April for the Very Large Array open house, star party, exclusive tours, Star River Podcast interviews, and lots more! Join as a Pathfinder this month to directly fuel this journey and secure your limited-edition VLA Metal Print! 🚀

We are all Time Travelers, but you don't have to navigate the current alone. Whether you're looking for deep technical dives or a quiet place to watch the stars, there is a station waiting for you.

The Heart: Digital Mission Control

The pulse of our community is the Star River Discord. This is where the real-time conversation happens. From astrophotography deep-dives and gear tuning to shared interests in 3D printing, programming, and spirits, I also hang out here most of the time. Come get feedback on your astro pics or better yet - help others! It's all here.

Support the Mission and unlock exclusive roles, private channels, and advanced mission data within the server.

The Soul: Visual Logs

I stream live sessions directly from the AstropotaPOD observatory, and am building a library of how-to guides and cosmic explorations. I'm currently experimenting to see if YouTube or Twitch is the best platform to use.

The Signal: Field Comms
