Astronomer/Educator/Space enthusiast. Bringing the universe to you! Book your astronomy experience today! My love for astronomy is unlike any other.
When I was 12 years old, I saw the movie Apollo 13 and became interested in space exploration. While gaining an interest in that, I discovered astronomy and became hooked ever since. Since then, I've been studying the stars and the universe and educating myself to better our night sky. I enjoy sharing the things I've learned with others. I also enjoy astrophotography, telescope viewing and the fas
cinations of space. I created this page to share my journey and help educate, share and interest others in astronomy.

I'm still very very new to solar photography. It is much different than any other type of astrophotography that I have done. This is the first shot I've ever taken through a telescope that looks semi decent. There's a lot of solar activity going on right now. I took this using my Heliostar76. Using my mini and shooting in Smart cap, this is the shot I came up with. Obviously there's lots to learn as I don't like that it appears to be printed on cardboard š¤£. Plus I think I might need to invest in a bigger sensor. The mini is nice but I want to shoot the entire sun and not just a small section of it. Friends, help lol.

Todav we kicked off our first Librarv event and the turn out was fantastic! Lots of kids, lots of questions! Loved seeing the curiosity! The children also participated in a demonstration of orbit! Each one picked a planet and circled the sun! A big thank you to the parents who brought the kids out to learn astronomy
Next week we will be at the Hart Memorial Library in Kissimmee at 4:30pm!

Hello Trifid Nebula. Looking all beautiful with your pretty colors! š»
This is one of my favorite objects to photograph. This is the first time I've taken dark sky photos with my Sky-watcher Esprit 120, so Trifid was definitely on the list.
The Trifid Nebula, also known asĀ Messier 20Ā (M20) orĀ NGC 6514,Ā is a stunning nebula located in the constellation Sagittarius.
It's a combination of an emission nebula, a reflection nebula, and a dark nebula, with an embedded open star cluster. This object is about 5,200 light years from Earth. That means the light from the object took 5,200 years to travel through space, to Earth through my telescope and into my Camera for this shot. š±
