About Me

A little bit about myself and what makes me tick(tock)

Astrophotographer

I first started my astrophotography journey by pointing a simple iPhone to the sky and seeing what my camera would show me. I found it very disappointing and looked up, "How can I take better pictures of space?" I certainly didn't know how deep the rabbit hole would go.

I found that I would send my friend pictures and asked a simple question: "Do you ever zoom in?" The reply was an astonishing, "No". So I decided I would start making videos and animations to show the parts that I wanted to focus on. I love music and movie scores, so I would add in songs that I really enjoyed, but after a few copyright strikes I was in despair. My friend Dan said to me, "Why don't you just make the music yourself? You can do that." Ever since then I've been making the music to my videos as well. I love songs from the 90s

Things I would like you to know about me

  • • I had to wire my telescope by hand because I couldn't live with plugging in 5 sockets
  • • I didn't learn everything at once, I just encountered a problem and started looking for a solution
  • • Most images take a few weeks to gather all the data
  • • I made this website because my Dad doesn't have an iPhone
