    WELCOME BAAACK to The Astrocast!

    THANK YOU to our newest Patreon Members, CAboutIt, Eric, and Gordon!

    This week, Roo takes you through some rather disheartening trends for the USA in the Astro market, talks about early Nebula (The Iris!) as well as a hallucination of a new astro product followed by SWEET SWEET VICTORY a few minutes later, when he was vindicated by none other than our AI Overlords!

  • Episode 53 - Piers for Fears
    2025/04/03

    WELCOME BAAAACK to The Astrocast!

    Thanks for joining us! This week, Roo takes you through the journey of last weekends EPIC pouring of the pier! He tells you all about the experience, gives some tips and tricks to make it an easier experience for you, and also explains WHY you would want to build a pier in the first place!

    If you'd like to see photos of the finished Pier (minus good cable management, of course!) check out our FB page here!

    The crucial things you need to build your own pier? 10 bags of quikcrete, a concrete mixer, a couple 2x4's, 4 long bolts (12 inches or more) along with nuts/bolts to level them with (see photos), 2 steel plates to mount your mount to, and a conrete mixer you can rent! Also, having two friends helps A LOT!!!

  • Episode 52 - Early Mornin' Under the Stars
    2025/03/27

    Welcome BAAAACK to The Astrocast!

    This week is a special episode, and definitely one to listen to under the stars! Let's hang out under the night sky and preview the summer triangle from 4 to 6am while gathering data on the N. American Nebula! We talk about quite a few things while we hang out, including a new contender entering the ring in AP! Also...Do we live in a simulation!? All of Roo's crazy 4am ramblings are on full display, and I hope I didn't embarrass myself too much!
