Bicycle Astronomy has reached it’s goal! The kickstarter campaign ended on Saturday, August 4th almost $1000 over its goal. Thanks to all the project supporters, I can no begin the hard work of putting together all the rewards, and organizing the project itself. To learn more about Bicycle Astronomy, the best place is still the kickstarter page. Check out the updates for a blog-style play by play of the campaign, with more information about the bicycle-transportable telescope design, the Yuba Mundo long-tail cargo bicycle, and the solar telescope, a new project addition made possible by the extra funding!
