Physician looks to the stars.(THE REST OF YOUR LIFE)
During summers as a grade school student in Woodland Hills, Calif., Dr. Steven Reeder and his brothers would set up cots in their backyard and sleep beneath the stars, gazing at the cosmos.
"We'd fall asleep gazing upward, using binoculars and just the naked eye," recalls Dr. Reeder, who currently practices family medicine in Mesa, Ariz.
Despite his longtime fascination with the night sky--including long-standing subscriptions to the magazines "Sky and Telescope" and "Astronomy"--he didn't seriously start the hobby until 1991, when he volunteered to teach content required for an astronomy merit badge to a local Boy Scout troop.
"One year, we took the scouts to Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff [Ariz.], the site where Pluto was discovered," he said. "We had a great time with that old telescope."
Before long, he bought his first gadget for stargazing: a 4-inch reflector telescope.
"You couldn't see much with it, but I could see the rings around Saturn," said Dr. Reeder, who is a former Boy Scout but never earned the astronomy merit badge.
In 1999, he acquired an 8-inch telescope, which is now the smallest in his collection. "It was computer driven, so it was much easier to find things and look at stars that had exploded, as well as distant and close galaxies, and nebula," he said.
