About me

I grew up in a hill village where the sky is still dark enough to see the Milky Way. Most clear nights I walk up the ridge behind the village with a tripod and a tracker, and come back before dawn.

Every week I post a video from one night: where I stood, the settings and how I edited it. What I sell is what I use: my night sky presets, a Milky Way planning guide, a tracker setup sheet and two courses.
