Ron Dyvig is the founder of Badlands Observatory. He designed and fabricated all of the optics including grinding and polishing the mirror for the 26” Newtonian Reflector. With a lifelong passion for astronomy, he has dedicated many sleepless nights to scanning the night skies and pursuing all things astronomical. A true nyctophile, high school and college nights were split between astronomy and playing music with several bands. For many years, Ron’s primary day job was working as a finance manager for a car dealership. He has also taught school and owned an aerial photography business. Most recently he delivers mail on a rural route several days a week. Teresa Hofer spent her working years as an accountant. She has worked in both public and private accounting. As rewarding as accounting was, after 30 years she ditched it all and settled on something more fun… photography. Her time is now divided between time for her interests and the grandkids . Teresa and Ron met late in life and decided to join forces. After almost 20 years together, they think it’s going to work out! They now share a commitment to keep the Observatory viable, while spending their golden years on their true joys… astronomy, photography and family. Ron’s Observatory duties include maintenance and upgrades to the optical and drive systems, control systems for the telescope and dome, facility management, designing and implementing new programming for Observatory visitors and keeping a watchful eye on astronomical developments. Teresa handles the administrative and back office functions and is the Observatory photographer. https://www.badlandsobservatory.com/contact-us daily 0.75 2025-10-14 https://www.badlandsobservatory.com/photographybyteresa daily 0.75 2025-03-24 https://www.badlandsobservatory.com/two-nights-in-the-badlands daily 0.75 2021-04-18 https://www.badlandsobservatory.com/our-astrophotography daily 0.75 2021-11-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fbb903ca787c521ab12a5a9/0fed1de4-5686-4b7d-93e5-ced5964c1a7f/Pleiades+copy.jpg Our Astrophotography The Pleiades imaged April 13, 2021 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fbb903ca787c521ab12a5a9/1610981701338-9MFS1EAKHN8EYQV7UNND/Andromeda+poster+print.jpg Our Astrophotography Andromeda Galaxy imaged Nov 15, 2020 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fbb903ca787c521ab12a5a9/1610982589867-0Q5VJH3A0B8LE30EO6B7/Orion+Nebula+poster+print.jpg Our Astrophotography Orion Nebula imaged Nov 22, 2020 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fbb903ca787c521ab12a5a9/1610982906022-TVKFQYCZET70VUBAX3QM/Horsehead+poster+print.jpg Our Astrophotography Horsehead Nebula imaged Nov 21, 2020 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fbb903ca787c521ab12a5a9/1610983350774-YGE8CYS3HP8LQX7OXCEY/Moon+color+stitch+small+with+labels.jpg Our Astrophotography Moon imaged May 5, 2020 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fbb903ca787c521ab12a5a9/1610984092321-HJFHEQ86WPDXD8HHSR2R/Eclipse2.jpg Our Astrophotography Total Solar Eclipse imaged August 21, 2017 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fbb903ca787c521ab12a5a9/ec416255-43fa-431c-a97f-bf1e916df656/Whirlpool+Galaxy+poster+print.jpg Our Astrophotography Whirlpool Galaxy imaged May 5, 2019 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fbb903ca787c521ab12a5a9/06f7a4bb-6079-4cbc-a055-226d0a73b1d3/Triangulum+poster+print.jpg Our Astrophotography Triangulum Galaxy imaged September 23, 2019 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fbb903ca787c521ab12a5a9/f3e5c6f1-0097-480d-8e5b-4a0395e4bbdf/Bodes+Nebula+poster+print.jpg Our Astrophotography Bodes Nebula imaged April 25, 2019 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fbb903ca787c521ab12a5a9/59b3c73c-c1b2-4b97-993e-42ffbe7dfbbe/Great+Cluster+in+Hercules+poster+print.jpg Our Astrophotography Great Cluster in Hercules imaged June 4, 2019 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fbb903ca787c521ab12a5a9/71c935a9-ee9d-444b-8766-7da8222457f0/M106+poster+print.jpg Our Astrophotography M106 imaged April 27, 2020 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fbb903ca787c521ab12a5a9/639a2531-fded-4777-8d0d-480bef5eade3/Pinwheel+Galaxy+Poster+Print.jpg Our Astrophotography Pinwheel Galaxy imaged May 30, 2019 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fbb903ca787c521ab12a5a9/66fd7202-aaf6-474e-982e-bd5f8cffbf30/Sombrero+Galazy+poster+print.jpg Our Astrophotography Sombrero Galaxy imaged May 4, 2019 https://www.badlandsobservatory.com/links-we-love daily 0.75 2025-03-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fbb903ca787c521ab12a5a9/578b5dfc-040e-4428-aeea-8cae6623ab94/great+places+recolor.jpg https://www.badlandsobservatory.com/research-at-badlands-observatory daily 0.75 2025-03-24 https://www.badlandsobservatory.com/night-sky-programs-in-our-area daily 0.75 2025-10-14
