A mug shot
Jeff was a Research Engineer at the University of
Washington from September 1990 until April 2004. His responsilities
included the maintenance and development of instrumentation for the
Manastash Ridge Observatory, a 30" telescope located near Ellensburg,
Washington. If you are interested in using this facility for
observations please contact Dr. Julie Lutz, who is the current
Observatory Director. Details of this facility can be found on the
MRO web
page and in the MRO
Users Manual. After 3/26/04 Jeff will
become the Telescope Engineer for the PANstarrs project.
Jeff spent a fair amount of time working on
telescope and instrumentation projects for the Apache Point
Observatory's 3.5-m telescope. In this regard, the following links
might be of interest:
Some of his efforts on behalf of the APO 3.5-m
include the following projects.
Note that the links below
labled as eDrawing documents will require you to load the freeware
eDrawings from SolidWorks in order to view these pages. These
documents are fairly large and require that your OS be a version of
Windows more recent than Windows 95. Do not bother trying to read
these pages if you are on a Mac or have an old Windows OS. Opening

for DIS
- Design and construction of the new baffles for
the 3.5-m telescope
- The new M3 Baffle
- The new M2 Baffle
- The new NA2 Baffle and the Guiderbox
assembly. At this time (3/15/04), this drawing is the most
complete description that we have of the inside components that
reside in the NA2 port guiderbox. People who are working on
instruments that are to mount to the NA2 port of the 3.5-m
telescope should be interested in this drawing.

- The
interim baffle report. This report
describes the scattered light behavior of the 3.5-m telescope
after installation of the M2 and M3 baffles. The results of
this report were used as a guide in the design of the NA2
baffle.
