Explorer of the cosmos, one photon at a time. I capture the universe using an arsenal of 12 telescopes including the TEC 180FL, Takahashi Epsilon 160ED, Takahashi FSQ-106EDX4, and Takahashi TOA-130, paired with elite imaging systems like the ZWO 6200MM Pro with Chroma filters, ZWO 2600MM, and the ATIK 16200 HPS-C.
