"I only got into astrophotography after the pandemic had become our new normal. Space has always. fascinated me - there is so much out there, and we are lucky enough to be able to view and capture stunning images of deep sky objects from our own backyards. Every image I take and every new object I learn about, I am filled with a newfound sense of amazement in both the beauty of these distant formations and the unknown secrets about the universe they may be hiding. On calm nights when it's only myself and the stars, it helps to know there's a whole universe out there."
