My name is Ryan Heuer, I am a 25-year-old tech enthusiast with a passion for photographing the universe.

My website serves as a platform to showcase my creative work and niche hobby.

I have an unwavering passion for capturing the night sky, particularly from our own Milky Way to the distant universe. There’s nothing quite like witnessing our galaxy in its vivid detail, with its colors, structure, and profound sense of scale. Visiting a dark sky park reveals a pristine and untouched sky, devoid of light pollution. It transforms into a deep, inky black canvas scattered with millions stars. Gazing up long enough, it almost feels as if you’re going to loose your balance. I highly recommend lying on your back and stare straight up, it’s an experience that one cannot forget.

There are a lot of astro trips I go on, and I always bring my telescope systems with me. I’ve designed them to be automated, easy to set up, and (somewhat) portable. I also take a mobile power station so I can run everything anywhere from my car. The photos below are a prime example of the kind of views and results I typically experience on these outings.

Also, during my night photography adventures, I always carry my trusty Sony cameras. They excel in capturing ultra-long high resolution exposures (primary for starscape photos) giving remarkable results. A few crucial factors contribute to my success in achieving remarkable results: fast f/2.8 lenses, a high-resolution sensor, and low read noise - similar to my telescope cameras.
