Astrophotography
Astrophotography is just one of many ways that I experience the night sky. Unless otherwise noted, these images were captured from my suburban New Jersey backyard, often under less-than-perfect skies, using a variety of instruments.
Click any image to see the full-size view, the story behind it, how it was captured, and how it was processed.
