Austin is the founder and editor-in-chief of Telescope Trove - the Wikipedia of Telescopes. He started the site to give beginners the honest, hype-free telescope advice he wished existed: every guide is hands-on, independently tested, and written in plain English. Austin sets the testing standards for all reviews on the site and personally verifies every buying guide, drawing on years of testing telescopes under real night skies and helping first-time buyers - from complete beginners to seasoned observers - find the right instrument.
