Astrophotography, documented honestly.
Real data. Real conditions. Real learning-one image at a time.
The Work
Pac Man Nebula - 10.8 hours
Captured from Middle Tennessee skies
The Process
Every image begins long before the camera turns on.
Planning, weather, seeing, light pollution, and equipment limitations all shape what’s possible.
The final image is not a single night’s success, but the result of decisions, corrections, and patience over time.
The Environment
This work is done under real skies - between clouds, moon phases, shift work, and family life.
Progress here is measured in clear nights, not algorithms.
