Selected Favorite Images





Over the years, I have had a number of images of both the night sky and nature I have taken that really struck me as special. This page is dedicated to curating some of the images that have most inspired me since I first picked up a camera in 2003. I hope everyone who views this page can take something away from them, as I have.

Astrophotography



Images of the night sky taken with a wide range of
equipment. Most of the images are shot Prime Focus
through a telescope on a computerized mount using
dedicated astronomical CMOS cameras. Earlier images
and wide-angle sky images are often shot via a DSLR
and various camera lenses or a CCD camera.



Photography



Images of nature, often shot during my frequent
expeditions to remote areas for the purpose of
astrophotography or trips with my wife to national

parks. There are also images of thunderstorms,

fire, and panoramas from stitching several

frames together into a larger whole. Mostly shot

with DSLR and Mirrorless cameras, though some of

the oldest images are from a 35mm film SLR camera.
