Our February issue is here, and it’s all about that MiniCam8 Mono bundle…
no color…  (plus the AM7) — and more!
We’ve got hands-on results, real-world captures, and plenty of gear goodness inside.
And a huge shout-out to everyone who submitted to the Starfront Expo for the magazine showcase, your work is wonderful!

Explorer of the cosmos, one photon at a time. I capture the universe with a collection of about 12 telescopes, including the SCA310, Astro-Physics 155 EDF Starfire, TEC 180FL, and Takahashi Epsilon 160ED, and my beloved FSQ-106EDX4. Paired with advanced imaging systems - including the medium-format ZWO ASI461MM and ASI6200MM Pro with Chroma filters - these precision instruments help me reveal the faint structures, rich colors, and extraordinary detail hidden in the night sky.
