gallery

Below is a small gallery of images that I've made over the years. These are astrophotographs I'm quite pleased with or where something interesting happened! They are shown In reverse choronological order.

I've been fascinated by photography for a long time. I started using an SLR in high school as part of the yearbook staff. Taught myself a lot along the way. When I got my telescope, it was high on the to-do list, to shoot with it and through it. In short order, I had a t-adapter. After that, various obstacles presented themselves. Still, I continue to explore astrophotography.

The small thumbnails link to the blog entry proper when the photo was shot—and where larger versions of the image are available. Often there are details about the equipment used, exposure values, etc. You'll need to manually back up to see this gallery again.

Enjoy.
