What is different about astroimagery?
There are many astrophotography sites and you may be wondering how this one is any different. Astroimagery is not only the name of this website but it is my project, my passion and the name under which I conduct my business in astrophotography. Astroimagery is different because it is run by an amateur astrophotographer who, like you, is still learning and perfecting his skill of taking photographs of space. This is a limitless and challenging journey and I aim to help anyone who is new to astronomy and astrophotography or those who are seeking to develop their skills further. Other astrophotgraphers and sites out there 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. I have a unique teaching style which I bring to Astroimagery.
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.
