I'm John Stephen and I'm a software engineer and amateur astronomer. This website is home to my astronomy projects. I hope to create high-quality and easy-to-use software for amateur and home astronomers. I expect to create a good amount of free software as well as some stuff to sell. My hope is that by providing useful but easy-to-use software I’ll help people learn more about the world we live in and help people with exploring the skies from their own back yards. Most of all I want to make astronomy fun so that it’s enjoyable for everyone whether with your friends, your family, or yourself.
