I am an astrophotographer from Ottawa, Canada, and my goal is to show people the beauty of our Universe. Ever since I got my first telescope as a kid, I have been fascinated with astronomy. I always get the chance to look up at the sky when possible, and I spend my weekends out in the middle of nowhere to enjoy the darkest skies in the Country.

I use a couple of telescopes on an equatorial mount and a DSLR lens combo on another tripod to capture all my various photos. Feel free to contact me about any questions or business inquiries.
