Welcome to the Nocturnal Ledge
Come Join my Adventure as I learn to tackle the difficulties of Astrophotography as a beginner

Inside Our World
Welcome to Nocturnal Ledge, my journey of learning astrophotography, with Stefanie’s support and a touch of humor. I’m Nate, an Army Veteran and current Police Officer, who started with a small box store telescope, staring down the stars and getting hooked—now aiming for precision (and occasionally overshooting the budget).
Stef, a teacher and former EMT, brings structure and laughs, while keeping finances in check—see her hilarious “budget face” to the left! She’s also a self-published author of several books, tagging along to support my passion. Join us as I refine my skills and chase the stars. Our next milestone—unboxing new gear on 3/16—awaits. Stick around!
