The Universe from my backyard

Most images on this site are captured from a suburban backyard observatory under light-polluted skies and are created using amateur equipment. Modern digital cameras and imaging techniques make it possible to reveal surprisingly faint structures of galaxies and nebulae that would have been impossible to capture from such a location only a few decades ago. All my astro images can be found on astrobin, which provides different versions of an image, details of the data collection, and the astrometry of the environment.
