My Pictures of Space

I posted about my "new" hobby years ago, but here's are some more recent images I took. Needless to say, I've gotten a lot better and now run a YouTube channel helping others to learn how to take images like this. Most of my images are taken from an observatory I build next to my house. Overall exposure times can be as long as 40 hours. The more time, the better the image. There's nothing like smoking a cigar while watching the individual images come in. I just have to keep the smoke away from the gear.

I'd be glad to answer any questions about the images or what goes into taking them. Enjoy!
