About Me

Welcome to Astroimagery.com!

Karl Perera

I’m Karl, and I love to help those fascinated by the amazing world of astrophotography to get started or improve the quality of their images.

Are you a complete beginner looking to take your first astro images, but are overwhelmed and don’t know how to get started? Or perhaps you’re someone who has taken a few astrophotos and you want to learn how to improve? Perhaps you can already take good space photos but you’re looking to move to the next level?

Check out my YouTube Channel to learn about astrophotography.

If any of the above describes you, then my friend, you’ve come to the right place!

I’ve had a keen interest in astronomy since watching the Apollo landings as a kid and had a telescope when I was a teenager. Now I am an astrophotographer with several years of experience behind me. This is now becoming a business as I start to earn an income from selling my astrophotography art and the equipment that you’ll need for astrophotography.

I’ve learned the lessons the hard way!

Since I’ve been doing astrophotography I’ve learned what works and what doesn’t. I’ve experienced how much time can be wasted setting up my astrophotography equipment.

I’ve found my own ways of doing things more quickly so that I can spend more time imaging rather than setting up.

I’ve also learned what elements of the whole astrophotography process can speed up the path to successful images that amaze like this one created by merging images in Photoshop! Efficiency and focus are the key.

Stress-free Astrophotography

The complexity of astronomy and photography can cause a lot of stress and mistakes can ruin the enjoyment of a night under the stars. I love astrophotography so much and it saddens me when I see or hear that others are struggling! I want to reach out to you and offer my help. Astroimagery.com is my way of doing this.

Astroimagery.com is for you if you want…

  • to experience the joys of astrophotography stress-free.
  • If you want to stop feeling overwhelmed by the amount to learn in astro imaging.

My Unique Background/ Qualifications

Why you and why this website, you might ask?

Well, I’ve got a unique set of skills that enables me to help you. I have a master’s degree in Teaching Academic English and writing is my forte. I’ve taught at several universities including the University of Durham, the University of Leicester, and Anglia Ruskin in Cambridge. I’ve studied Physics, Mathematics, and Electronics and have worked as an Engineer. I’ve had more than twenty-five years of experience teaching and working online.
