The core of the southern Milky Way rising over one of the domes of the Astronomical Society of South Australia’s viewing sites. What an evening to experience, surrounded by so many interesting folk with great stories. Great visual observing through some members’ dobsonians too, and had an awesome tour around the Milky Way band from a lovely member. Not to mention getting to see ASSA’s huge scope sitting up in the main dome.
None of this would’ve been possible without, who got us both there and back safely, and had the patience of a saint when I tried to polar align (iykyk) 😜.
An adventure that’s way up there for me. Feeling so grateful 🙌🏻

I put together this photo essay over the last few months for a project at university. It is a creative, yet serious, reflection of an environmental issue many of us are oblivious to: light pollution.
This project was hugely inspired by the work carried out by to make the issue of light pollution accessible. They inspire everyday folks, like myself, to take action and make a difference to our natural night skies.
A huge thank you to,,, Stirling Astronomical Society and the Stenhousemuir Squirrel leaders for letting me take some photos of them for this project 😊 it wouldn’t have come together without you guys.

Please to say that my new book is now available on the website. So happy to finally get it out there and help people with knowledge of the night sky!
You’ll find a link to my website in my bio with all the information about the book.
Thank you for the support! Big thanks again to Helena on her content in the deep sky photography chapter!
Took this image using a mono camera and an Ha filter! The Esprit 120 from Skywatcher really never fails to bring out clarity and depth in images. Some smooooth details in this pic which are so fun to edit 😝. Love being able to isolate different wavelengths and see just how much Hydrogen, in this case, is present in the target!

Probably the faintest wee guy I’ve done yet! This was taken at a Bortle 2 site. At under an hour of exposure time, it’s incredible to see the detail that comes out with the magic of dark skies 😍. Will be revisiting in the winter for sure!
Huge credit to my wonderful Patrons over on my Discord for this edit. I gave them the raw dataset to crack on with for the month, and they taught me so much about the entire process that got me this result. Incredible people with a genuine love for exchanging feedback and ideas.
