The Veil Nebula is an iconic astrophotography target in the constellation Cygnus. I shot this close-up of it with my Astro-Tech AT115EDT at 644mm using an ASI533MM
Backyard Starry Night
It was a clear gorgeous night on Saturday. I love a clear night on the weekend as I can go out with the telescope and record pictures late into the night. My family and I are going on a camping trip soon and we decided to try out our new […]
Eagle Nebula
M16
M5
Over 13 billion years old and 25,000 light years away, M5 is one of the oldest astronomy objects in our universe.
California Nebula
Another amazing nebula of the Winter skies, the California Nebula was the first nebula I shot in mono with my then new ASI533MM and Antlia 3nm narrowband filters.
My First Year of Astrophotography
It’s been 1 year and many dollars since I started my astrophotography exploration. Here’s what I learned.

The Hercules Cluster
The Hercules Cluster was the first astrophotography target I fell in love with. I finally got the right equipment to shoot it properly a year later.
M81 & M82 Galaxy Pair
My first galaxy pair taken with my new Astro-Tech AT115EDT telescope. There were some challenges, but overall, I think it came out awesome.
NGC 2903 Galaxy
NGC 2903 is one of the first galaxies to kick off galaxy season in the northeast. I shot this on my AT115EDT refractor and ASI533MM camera.
