Has the dazzling beauty of the cosmos left you with a burning desire to capture celestial wonders, but you find yourself frustrated by the seemingly insurmountable challenges that come with astrophotography?
Scientific imaging has constantly evolved since photographic emulsion was first used to capture images covering a wide spectral bandwidth, from X-rays to infrared radiation.
I have been fascinated by the night sky since I ‘discovered’ Saturn with my 60mm refractor at the age of 10. An APOD-winning astrophotographer, I have been published in Sky & Telescope, Astronomy Magazine, and Space.com. As a NASA Solar System Ambassador, I have conducted thousands of public outreach programs and am a registered cruise ship speaker on astronomy and space science, as well as a Director of the Phoenix Astronomical Society. 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.
