Welcome to Observation Post Drenible
Nestled in our backyard in Roxboro, NC, Observation Post Drenible is a father-and-son passion project dedicated to exploring the wonders of the universe. We’re Wes, a tech enthusiast with a lifelong love for discovery, and Jackson, a curious 13-year-old ready to learn and share his journey with the stars. Together, we’re turning our shared curiosity about space into a hands-on adventure in astronomy and astrophotography.
The name “Drenible” is a playful twist on our family-run store, Nerdibles (yes, “Dren” is “Nerd” spelled backward). Observation Post Drenible is our way of merging that nerdy enthusiasm with the infinite possibilities of the cosmos.
Here, you’ll find our journey documented as we build our backyard observatory and learn the art of capturing the night sky through astrophotography. From stargazing tips to lessons learned, we aim to share our experiences with fellow space enthusiasts, young and old. Whether you’re an experienced astronomer or just starting to look up, we hope our story inspires you to explore the universe from your own backyard.
Join us as we embark on this interstellar journey, one starry night at a time. Clear skies await!
