Immense islands containing billions of stars. Imaging these distant systems requires long focal lengths to resolve intricate dust lanes and star-forming regions within their spiral arms.
Clouds of ionized gas that glow with their own light. These are the star nurseries of the universe, best captured using Narrowband filters to isolate Hydrogen-Alpha and Oxygen III emissions.
Clouds of dust reflecting the light of nearby stars. Usually appearing blue, they require very clean data and careful processing to reveal the subtle, wispy textures of the interstellar dust.
Dense clouds of dust that block light from the stars behind them. These are among the hardest objects to image, requiring extremely dark skies and long total integration times to pull detail from the shadows.
Great astrophotography is a balance of artistic vision and mechanical precision. From the high-desert of New Mexico, I utilize specialized strain-wave mounts and apochromatic refractors to capture the faint light of the deep sky.
View The Observatory KitAstrophotography isn't just "taking a photo." It's a journey of extracting hidden light from the noise. Drag the slider to see the difference between a single raw sub-exposure and the final processed master.
