Whereby all prophets far outwent he,
though former days produced a plenty:
For any man with half an eye
What stands before him can espy;
But optics sharp it needs, I ween,
To see what is not to be seen.

-John Trumbull, from M'Fingal

Welcome to Gil-Galad Observatory.

Home of astrophotography by Derek Java.

Gil-Galad means "star light" in JRR Tolkien's mythic world of Middle Earth. I am proud that this website is a part of the Tolkien world, and I hope you enjoy it.
