Here you’ll find every astrophoto I’ve published since I started out in 2020 – in chronological order, from the most recent capture back to my very first attempts. Galaxies, nebulae, star clusters, comets, planets and lunar shots line up night after night. Reading from the bottom up, you can follow how my equipment, workflow and image quality have evolved over the years. Individual objects are also sorted by type in the deep-sky catalog.
