Dan Bakken & The Hercules Project

While I do have other passions, this site is mainly
about my interest in astronomy and the building of my 41.2" portable
telescope (and yes, that .2" is important). Just so you know, my
other interests include Star Trek (especially Classic), The Beatles,
laserdiscs and DVD's. Thanks for stopping by.

My pride and joy, Hercules is the
largest amateur portable telescope in the world. It is almost
totally hand-made, including the optics, by myself... with a little
help from my friends! |

| Personal info: My wife, Cathy, is
becoming an amateur astronomer (of her own free will) too. My
profession involves growing compound semicondutor crystals used in
infrared imaging. I also teach Astronomy part time at Spokane Falls
Community College.
