INTRODUCTION: Moonglow Observatory is a small astronomical observatory run by me, Fred Bruenjes as a hobby. One of my favorite activities is taking pictures of things in the night sky through my telescope, and so I created this website to share my best pictures with you. Please start at the top or pick what most interests you:
