Publications - Images

I began my Astrophotographic Journey in mid-2019. I was soon getting images, but those images were not very good. For the next couple of years, I worked to improve my image capture skills as well as my image processing skills. My results slowly improved.

Beginning in 2022, a strange thing began to happen. My images were getting published! There is no greater honor for an Astrophotographer than to have their work validated through publication.

I will use this page to document those publications.
