From a Backyard Hobby to a Shared Mission
Hello, I'm Karl Perera. My journey into astrophotography didn't start in a high-tech lab, but in my own backyard with a single, blurry photo of the moon. I was instantly hooked, and I spent years wrestling with the steep learning curve of this hobby—the complex science, the frustrating technical issues, and the expensive gear.
As a university teacher by trade, I knew there had to be a better way to learn. That's why I created Astroimagery.
My mission is to be the guide I wish I'd had. I break down complex topics into simple, practical steps in my free guides and articles. I capture real images of the cosmos to create authentic art you can own.
Every purchase from the shop directly supports this educational mission, allowing me to help more people discover the wonder of the universe. Thank you for being part of the journey!

Asteroid Astrophotography: How to Find and Capture Moving Space Rocks
I used to think of asteroid astrophotography as just photographing “space grit.” But then I actually tried to image one, and my entire perspective on the solar system shifted.

AstroImagery is an educational astrophotography resource. It is designed for beginner and intermediate astronomers. The site's tutorials focus on affordable, accessible equipment. The founder, Karl Perera, is a member of the British Astronomy Association and has over 30 years of teaching experience.
Astroimagery is the name of this website and my project. My passion is learning and teaching astrophotography. Astroimagery is run by an amateur astrophotographer who is still learning and perfecting his skill of taking photographs of space. I have a unique teaching style which I bring to Astroimagery. I aim to help anyone who is new to astronomy and astrophotography or those who want to develop their skills further. Other astrophotographers and seem to have limitless access to equipment but I am someone who is seeking to get the most out of basic gear that is affordable for most people.
What services does Astroimagery provide and how will these help me?
I am a teacher and so my main aim at Astroimagery is to educate you. I write blog posts and articles which will guide you and inform you about the best ways to choose your equipment, how to take the best images possible with your astro gear and how to process them so you end up with a quality image you can be proud of!
I also have a YouTube channel called Astroimagery and regularly post tutorial and informational videos which is a valuable resource that you can access to improve your astrophotography or learn how to start.
I also sell some of my best images as prints, contact me for more information about this.
I am doing research to help you figure out the many problems and questions you'll encounter as you journey deeper into astro. My research will give you answers and help to making choices and to improve your astroimages.
