An APOD-winning astrophotographer, I have been published in Sky & Telescope, Astronomy Magazine, and Space.com.

I frequently post astrophotography images, news, and tutorials on social media. My solar imaging and videos are particularly popular, and I have conducted extensive research on solar cameras and solar image processing techniques.
