The Heavens Declare AstrophotographyBrought To You By Hidden Mountain Observatory
Welcome to "The Heavens Declare" Astronomical Imaging and Photographs - Hidden Mountain Observatory and lifelong Astronomer Allen McGee presents an array of heavenly astronomical photographic imagery with beautiful deep sky and planetary objects here on this page of the Observatory website. We'll be adding much more here soon, but we've included our 1st published photograph below!!!
At Hidden Mountain Observatory we believe the sky and all that can be found there represents a true gift to those of us on Earth who truly appreciate the mysterious and hidden beauty all around us. When we turn the fantastic tools that God has inspired us to build with the ingenuity He has bestowed upon us skyward, the mysteries we find beyond planet Earth begin to be unveil themselves with awe-inspiring grandure.
The Heavens Delcare the Glory of God from the Book of Psalms in the Bible is more than just a motto for us. It is a philosophy of exploration and a devotion to uplifting the spirit of mankind through the heavenly wonders revealed to us through Astrophotography. We invite you to come and explore the "Glory of God" with us here at Hidden Mountain Observatory!!
